So many mech hangers, should have taken out shares in marwi/wheels manufacturing
Also whole chainsets, despite new bikes coming with many stickers, even colour coded, folk still fuck it up daily.
BrickMan-
Same story again today, 'Just sell me a mech hanger for a Carrera @©$|¥»»%<>, you have one RIGHT?
Me: Go to Halfords if you want one immediately, we special order them and it could take up to a week to arrive. You'll also have to bring in the bike so we can be sure of an exact fit.
'Just sell me one, you re a bike shop and you should have this in stock AND there's a 3 hours queue at Halfords'
Yes, we use Wheel Manufacturing too, some of the hangers have been out of stock for weeks!
Agreed too on the shambles of not following instructions, the left and right on pedals and the tighten this way on the cranks...
Most expensive one was for an Allez with Praxis cranks!

Indeed, pissy phone calls and fake reviews to follow.
'It's on Special Order and we'll install it as soon as possible when the parts arrive'
This is usually with broken rear mech hangers.
'Just replace it'
Me: 'We'll have to match it, order one and wait for it to arrive. There's probably 1,000 different ones out there'
'OK, tell me what it is and I'll order one myself'
So we do all the work and you get one? Why not you do all the work and we get one?

I'm pretty much numb to all this. All the gears no idea... This is part of my lolz for the day, just laugh inside and smile ;)
Don't get me started on the Carrera/Halfords bikes...
