Perhaps the extra premium platinum service would have got you the 11th gear.

That’s why if you find someone good on the spanners you look after them and find out where they’ve gone if they leave.
I’ve had bad work done at shops which have a good reputation because the good mechanics they employed have left.

Bike shops.
Every fucking shop I try manages to fuck up something simple and totally undermine my confidence in them (slight hyperbole, actually, there was a place near Crouch End that consistently did me right, but they've closed down now anyway).
Second to last place I took my bike switched out my chain and cassette without checking my chainring for wear, meaning when I tried to set off from a red light my chain slipped and I almost stacked it under a truck. Fuck going back there. Try somewhere new. New place’s “gold service” has left me with only 10 working gears out of 11. Money well spent!
Can anyone recommend a decent bike shop east of Stratford?
