I tried that some years ago with a still-prominent central London bike shop. I headed off
towards Wales. A week into the holiday, the bottom bracket came off. It hadn't been put back on
the thread, just jammed in place. Fortunately there was still a fair bit of thread left, I was
nearly at my destination anyway, and the central London bike shop did put it really right with
apologies and without further charge, which is why I'm not putting their name in here. Anyway,
it only goes to show.

I might have been better off if I had. I'd probably have made a **** of it too, but at least I'd
probably have realized at the time.
