as i go through my cycling journey one thing I have learnt is a good cycle mechanic is worth their weight in gold ,i have one at my lbs shop that is a jewel in the crown ,he knows how i ride ,replaces the parts with a level that suits my ride style,he recommends me to do something to my bikes i do it,he does all my three bikes,i not saying its cheap,but my cycling is now trouble free,the thing with halfords plan is they some times use cheap parts,a ride buddy of mine is alight weight rider and he rides a boardman sometimes, and it is triggers broom always in the shop ,and he's on the plan,and he's always getting slagged for cheap components and constant mechanical failures,
