Not really ? I took apart my failed Crank cobalt wheel today cleaned out the freehub and re-greased put back together and bingo now its working again(it failed on the London to Brighton)my confidence has shot through the roof now might take apart my forks next?

You’ve got to talk in a patronising manner and charge indecently to be a real mechanic.

Yup, and you should be drawing lots of air through your teeth whilst raising your eyebrows as high as possible.

You should also leave the item sitting on a workbench for a few weeks, pretending your waiting for parts it doesn’t need , or haven’t been ordered.

Skip the forks, there’s this bloke in the chat forum who’s got this passat…….

😆 @ Bregante

You’ve got to perfect the “can you seriously not do that yourself” look too

Come on, we are not all like that! We never patronise our customers.

But we are good at irony 8)

Parts do take weeks to arrive …………….. Don’t they !

Only if you don’t order them in good time.
