Took my bike into Halfords for its annual service covered by the £19.99 payment last year . Told the technician that the brakes needed bled , gears were skipping and I had a massive buckle on the back wheel.
Picked It up today they had bled both brakes (juicys), trued the wheel and put new inner and outer gear cables on and charged zilch for the pleasure.
As much as they are maligned on this site thats got to be good value.
On the downside It seems I need a new cassette , chain and the rear mech Is on Its last legs. 🙁 Still thats all wear and tear for a year old well used bike.
