Tea?

You could always get the few tools you need and gen up on changing the chain and cassette yourself next time. Just leave the tricky stuff to the experts. If I can do it, anyone can.

I normally do. About two months ago i changed my on brakes & brake cables. I know next to nothing about servicing BBs or wheel hubs and to a lesser extent, gear indexing, though I know its probably fairly easy to learn.

The full service will also true my wheels & strip, clean and lube my drivetrain, part of which needed to be replaced anyway.

It should ride like a new bike after i get it back

Gone, someone's pinched it!

Typical, eh?

I regretted not going out on the bike after a stroll up't golfie..
Lovely views today.
The chilly NW wind? never appeared although pavement was slippy at bin out time.

Just come home from leaving my Triban at my LBS.

I need a new chain and cassette. I decided to go for a full service after daily commuting and (almost) 2 winters in cold/wet conditions & probably just over 2k miles on the clock, but I dont know how much mileage the previous owner put on the bike while he was training on it. Service costs £60 while parts and labour will cost me about £80.

There goes my christmas bonus

Not a lot done, or is that just 2,000 miles, in the cold & wet conditions?

Used to be two months of commuting that.

The two bin bags of Bob's clothes now recycled and the sum of £6.52p is now in Bob's pocket...

I can't imagine how to be frivolous with such an amount.

In other news, my cycling buddy from the other day has christened me Bobby Beag

You can get hot dog and chips, and a pint in Wetherspoon's for that.

Fish and chips and a pint at the nearby one...

When I am in Glasgow, I always use the Spoons near to Queen St station. The Counting House

They are fine for the cost of the meal

It's definitely a case of, 'you get what you pay for.'
