Chain issues and damaged spokes

Yes, was thinking same. Either his triban is a fake or Jaz is a mechanical troubles magnet

Or the Fairies are involved?

I'd never had a bad experience with this up until now and I had been using them for a year. I've only used Thomsons once and they were quite a bit more expensive

It's still not fixed, I've been avoiding using my two highest gears.

Recently I found our premium lbs did a spoke change and true for 7 quid, I almost fell over, I expected much more. A while back a different shop charged me 4 quid per spoke just for parts to fix myself... It varies a hell of a lot it seems, both in value and service.

I can beat that. I once had a front brake overhaul on my motorcycle. Labour was at least £50 per hour and it took a while. However I was told they needed a new seal which they didnt have in stock and to come back a few days later and pay then. I came back a few days later and they charged me about £8 for what I was expecting to cost well over £100.

As for OPs case I definitely think one of the limit screws must have been way out. Easy fix but it seems potentially nasty consequences.

You mean the two largest rear sprokets ?? for fear of your mech clanging into the spokes ??
