Hi all
Further to the recent thread about a poster being charged
a fiver for a pump-up, I was in my LBS yesterday to order
a new stem.
A bloke unknown to the owner popped into the shop and asked
if the LBS man could possibly pump up his rear tyre for him.
Althought Michael (of Michael's Cycles
<http://tinyurl.com/2ox3u>) was quite busy repairing a bike
- and chatting to me at the same time - he made time to
inflate the OP's tyre for him.
All three of us got on to the subject of slick or semi-
slick tyres for mountain bikes and I wouldn't be too
surprised if the OP re-visited the LBS to buy a set of
tyres more suitable for the road than the knobblies that
were on his bike.
As others said in the other thread, a little bit of kindness
for free may well pay dividends at some later date.
Regards James
