Thanks for the offer but the forks are brand new and still under warranty so I’ll send into my LBS if i have any problems. The wheels are nearly 10 years old and are bombproof so I don’t need to worry about them.
I’ll be making8ng the change to a 2×10 soon so if have any peoblems I’ll give you a shout.
As for the b/b causing problems I can understand where you’re coming from but this type of problem can be solved by adjusting the limit screws on the mech.
Anyway problem solved, rant over and jobs a good un so you should leave it at that IMO. I’d stay clear of the shop owner too…not worth the hassle. If his service/workmanship was as bad as you say then its a good thing he’s gone bust.
