Picked up my newly built Canyon Ultimate AL this morning 😀 from the LBS who built it up for me (already had wheels and bars).
Rode it around the corner and noticed they’d replaced my old skewer with a new one. No problem you might think, but that is the skewer for my turbo trainer. So, i popped back and asked if they still had it. A rummage in the skewers draw and it isn’t there – ‘I think the old one was replaced because it looked a bit ******. We’ll have a look and ring you later.’ Fine my me, easy mistake to make if you’ve not seen one before.
The bike rides like a dream, handles better than my old Kaffenback, accelerates brilliantly etc. I’m enjoying the ride to work. But then i hit a bump and ‘bang!’ – oh, dammit, pinch puncture… But hang on, the tyre is still inflated. Then i noticed the bars had rotated in the stem because the bolts were tight enough!
The bars are carbon and there are a couple of scratches (need a proper look later). I’ll be popping back to the shop later/tomorrow. What approach should i take? Bombers and make a scene? Demand my money back for the labour? Quietly suggest they check the bars for me?
