  • Rent, rates, shit margins, wiggle cunts, amazon etc etc it’s a tough marketplace. I had a customer ask me today, if I would price match a lock he has picked up with Amazon’s price. I said, it’s already £20 off retail, that’s the cheapest I can do. You can buy it from amazon if you like, I really don’t mind. But just remember, maybe one day there will be no shops left, and only amazon.

    He ended up buying a more expensive lock, but only just.

    Some customers are soulless weasels - I hadn’t heard about wiggles mobile mechanic model before but it is concerning. Just gotta hope customers still succeed in ordering incompatible parts and that the mobile mechs don’t carry enough stock to cover those bases....

    Everyone looking for London alternatives going forwards, how about SBC?

  • The best IMO.

    That’s what I thought... and as a small shop suffering from the aforementioned threats and challenges, they need all the support they can get.

    Talking about idiot reviews, loved this one. “Got breaks fixed and they worked, terrible service! They even offered to check my bike over FOC, BASTARDS!”
