For sorting out my abortive attempt at changing the suspension bearings in my FSR, and not charging me too much either.

Good work fellas.

They are without a doubt the best bikeshop in the world, they have sorted things out for me last minute loads of times!

Glad to hear that your stumpy is up and running again! Did they have a bigger mallet or vice than you ? 🙂

Apparently they just smacked it with a hammer like I did. But they had a properly calibrated one and tougher thumbs.

Shaun also used a Jedi Mind Trick to convince you it wasn't a lot of money.

It's useful if you own an LBS, the Jedi Mind Trick.

His stock room is full of droids that the Empire have been looking for.

"Move along."

you weak-minded fool.

My friend doesn't like you… I don't like you either.

your powers are complete – OBeWan has trained you well young skywalker

Also, the shop that I used to go to is a hive of scum and villainy.

to be honest I thought your frame was Bantha Fodder.

yeah, but if you'd have struck it down it would only have become more powerful than you could imagine…

Bugger. One careless belt and it would have come back as S-Works!… The circle would have been complete.

Right. That's enough free publicity. I'll be back in the shop tomorrow to discuss prices for the 2 new transmissions and the hub that I need.

[biting-tongue]I've found the workshop pricing a bit random…one day excellent value another day wallet raping.
[unbites tongue]…I don't think I'll get over the £130 bill for finishing my bike build for quite a while, however much they say they had to start over again they had previously fitted the fork and headset so don't see where it all went.

it used to cost more when Old Man Cooky was in da house.

The Emperor?

this thread (whatever it used to be about) has reminded me of my favourite Youtube video of all time….

that second vid made me do one of those lol things.

I always thought that Vader would be a bit of a hoot when he was off duty.

the staring each other out bit near the end is amazing.
