[Closed] Transition Scout or Santa Cruz 5010?

Doug don't get all defensive.. I expect those things to come from a percentage of the charges to the customer obviously.

I'm afraid I can't answer your question with up to date numbers, though even if I could, I don't see why I would disclose my P&L just because we both ride bikes. But from previous experience, I'd suggest that margins aren't huge and nobody is getting particularly rich from servicing suspension and seatposts.

You realise Ratboy dosen't pay for he's bikes, probably dosen't service them and just gives them back when they are Shagged.
I'd guess the Vpp bearings lasts a couple of months with his riding.
He gets paid to say they are good.

And it's not "obvious" that you expected them to be paid from the charges

I know it is a tricky subject and expecting people to be open about their numbers is a little taboo but nothing wrong with asking the basics imo [b][u]especially[/u][/b] when they are using the forum to promote that business.

I like to know what I'm paying for and I can't quite get my head around an £85 service. As I have already said if someone could just break those numbers down even just a little then I might be able to happily pay it with no further thought (might even give a little tip :D.)

How much of that £85 service is parts, (rrp is fine)? When I ask anyone else in a trade they tell me these numbers as required
How long on average does an average fork service take a kitted out pro? (no talk of extremes please just the average service time.) Again anyone in a trade will give me a general idea on basic work timescales. 1hr, 2hrs, 3 hrs??

well we look forward to your bargain suspension servicing company
