Morning!
I bought a second hand single speed from a bike shop at the end of July. I rode it a couple of times (omg who knew the love I would have for a single speed) but realised there appeared to be some kind of clunking noise that came and went from the rear wheel.
I took it back to the bike shop who acknowledged there was some issues and I left it with them. On my return to collect it they said they had done 'what they could' and that it is possibly the bearings that would need to be replaced but wouldn't be too costly (they didn't have them instore and would need to send off for them)
I agreed to see how it went but on reflection, I am wondering if they have some responsibility and duty to make the repair as I assumed they were selling me something that was working? They are my local bike shop and generally very good but I'm confused with this situation.
Thoughts?
