  • Self entitled middle class prick who I released the bike without talking payment cos 'I forgot my wallet and REALLY need the bike' popped in to make it right today, AFTER 3 WEEKS!

    '£36 for a new tyre, tube and fitting? You're too expensive. How much is the labour? £15? How long is that for, 2 and a half hours? 2 hours?'

    It's a new rear tire and tube for a child carrier trike with internal gear hub.

    I replied, 'Our rate is £40/hour'.

    'You are charging too much, that's why your shop is empty'

    We're fully booked I replied.

    Had he not came in with his little kid, I would have personally shown him out of the door and asked him not to return.

    AND if you're on here, go do one...

  • The middle class ones are the worst. Especially for borrowing track pumps. Your bike cost 6grand why don’t you own a track pump?!!’

  • Jesus, what thick cunt.

    It's a new rear tire and tube for a child carrier trike with internal gear hub.

    Fucking cyclists!

  • Have you not had people buying bike parts off you then returning them (brand new unused) the week after?

    I've seen it happening at my office when people need the parts immediately so they pop down a LBS. They fix their bikes then order the same parts online for 40% less, then return them to the LBS.

    Naughty naughty!

  • £36 for a tyre, tube and fitting on an IGH bike sounds like a massive bargain. Should have charged him double for late payment/being a twat.

  • WAC

    I can only hope he comes back some day so you can tell him to do one.

  • Sounds like a classic cunt. Well done for handling it without losing your shit! 💪🏻

    Re pumps. Just buy in some cheap shit Old school zefal type pumps . Sell them for a tenner a pop (London price?) and let them have what they want. Better than no sale.... £30 for a PUMP?!?! Etc
