Good Value LBS

Praise where it's due...

After leaving it far too late to replace my chain, the new one slipped at both front and back. I
took it to Thoms Cycles in Montrose and the cost for fitting a new 8-speed cassette and new triple
chainset was £40.45 (and that included labour and VAT!).

I dropped it off first thing and Mike had it ready by lunchtime.

5 minute job! Did that include the parts?

I hope not, if so the parts would be made of cheese. Its an easy job with the correct tools (crank
puller, cassette tool, chain whip, spanners/socket set) and not one I would even consider a
professional for. Each to their own, I know some people are not as keen on getting their hands
dirty as I am.

Can't complain at that (or do you know better?)

PhilO (Who will now religiously replace his chain at 1/16" past 12"😉

chainset ( veloce double ), chain, cassette , and bottom bracket , 110pds inc labour and VAT , I
have no idea if that is good value or not , except I got 11,000 miles out of the old Mirage chainset
and cassette/chain so I have no complaints
