  • You forgot to anti seize the quill though... and the limit screws are out on both mechs... and the front wheel has a hop... oh and chainring bolts are loose.

    3/10 would take more time next time

    This.

    It’s too worryingly often I’ve seen bike being build without a torque wrench, from Decathlon to high end bicycle shop.

    Especially the recent changes where lots of bicycle shop (inc. Evans) are getting sales assistant to build bikes instead of a dedicated bike builder.

  • This is what happened with me, thankfully I actually have semi decent knowledge on bikes, and I always let the head Mech check it over before letting it out.

  • Funny you should mention Ed, I had a bike delivered by Evans a couple of weeks back and the bolts holding in the rear shock were finger tight... Took it to my local independent shop for a once over and not a single bolt was torqued correctly.
    Straight from the manufacture it was claimed?
