So I needed a new fork fitting, which required a new headset adapter to fit a tapered fork, so thought new bearings in the front hub, plus hub adapter to suit 15mm bolt through. Bike has been running slow, so thought new bearings in the rear wheel as well, is all Hope pro 2 stuff, and then decided might as well get the BB92 changed as well. Nice amount of work so though I would let a well respected bike shop do it all, the kind of shop that has plenty of experience of top end bikes. now I know that they are more interested in building up brand new frames for customers, plus staff have been ill, but how long would you expect?

So they've had your bike 4 and a half weeks so far and haven't done anything to it!?

You have the patience of a saint. I'd have gone in & asked for it back by now unless they could come up with a very good reason why they need it for so long...

Are you sure they haven't lost/sold it or had it nicked???

If they had I look forward to something new, shiny and hand built carbon, with full XT and some serious bike exotic branding.

They are starting to sound a bit embarrassed about it.

In all honesty I only ride in the dark at this time of year, had a cold, weathers been crap, and only out on my almost identical bike but that is 150mm travel and aluminium 3 times this month.
