well chuffed got the bike back. am not a mechanic so asked them to change the pedals to flats, move the spacers on my headset as i though the ride seemed out of position for me and got them to ifnally fix my trek speedo/computer (do not, i stress do not go wireless on one of em) no end of issues i ve had,

felt lost whilst bike was in LBS and it was only there for 4hrs today.

looking forward to the ride tonight. Didnt think i would enjoy biking as much as i am at the mo.

Just thought i''d share this with you all (and i know i need to man up and do the fettling myself) :lol:

    Fair play, not everyone's a mechanic or enjoys fettling.

    There is always the looney fringe you have to take into consideration. Unlike the Leadreship TV dabates (were they mass ones?), that only included the 3 main parties, I have attempted to include everyone in my post and not marginalise those freaks of nature (I'm not going to be drawn into calling them bigots *removes mike*) who are afraid to open their toolbox and weald a spanner or two...

    Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:
