there are only 3 people i trust to work on my bike.
any time ive let someone other than those 3 people try ive been let down badly.
I received a new built bike from an independant shop earlier this year – was sounding them out for repairs. I wasnt impressed simple things like bar clamps closed up on one side , The hubs were over tightened by a long shot almost indexed – not a drop of grease or antisieze on the whole bike – not the seat posts not the QR Skewers etc.
I also paid 140 quid for the guy who mots my car to wire a button into my horn so it would pass mot . i was in a bind he was helping me out to an extent
when i got it back i found twisted wire pairs in insulating tape – not even a scotchblock or crimps (which had i found id have removed and soldered it as due course anyway)
Great if you have found someone you can trust , I’ve yet to find those people where i live now.
yes i’m a nightmare customer 😉
