...
The other day they sold me the wrong size ball bearings. I can't see them lasting much longer unless they get their act together. Sad really but I don't feel that I owe them a living.
Years ago (95ish) there was a new cycle shop in Lancaster called Cycle 2000... it was a massive shop, loads of nice bikes and accessories, and they also offered secure bike parking for £1 a day (they had that much space)....
anyway, I went in for some headset bearings as I was doing up my first MTB, and the bloke tried to sell me an entire headset for £22. I told them i didn't need an entire headset, just the loose bearings, but he told me "you can't buy loose beatings." which was obviously bull.
I told the bloke, who clearly thought he was the
be all and end all of bicycle repair, that I've bought loose bearings many times before, for about 50p a set... he told me i was talking out of my **** so I left, never to return again.
I went to the next nearest LBS and bought said loose bearings for 68p.
Cycle 2000 didn't last very long.. can't think why.
