Is this bike shop ripping me off?

I got this impression from the slow drip feed of information on the tyre: “it just says Schwalbe and revolution on it” and then a clearly labelled and googleable tyre in the photo.

“it just says Schwalbe and revolution on it”

Deeply suspicious. I can never find the fucking directional markers even when I'm looking for them.

Not like you to turn down the offer of some fried chicken

I can never find the fucking directional markers even when I'm looking for them.

I've got one tyre on backwards because I couldn't find the bloody thing and they're tubeless so I'm not changing them now, they were a bastard to get seated. 4000km on it "wrong" now, no fiery death so far

can never find the fucking directional markers

Maybe why the shop charged so much to fit it…

Not bad trolling tbf

It always feels a bit suspicious when they start to only reply to the posts that are calling them out/mocking them rather than the posts that are giving advice/asking for more information.

you just jinxed it mate. Do you want us to take legal action after you're dead?

I was never offered any chicken otherwise this would be a totally different story, empathy and understanding everywhere

Do I need to take a legal action or something to punish this LBS?

You're every single bad customers I've received in my entire life all rolled in one.

I put a Pirelli on the wrong way ! Can i swap the disk to the other side of the spokes ? Asking for a friend ? Didnt see the arrows ><>><<<^^

PUNISH THe LBS

You're already doing that by riding a Pedersen.

Yes. I think you're right.

I wonder if this troll is a funny bikeshop person. It has that vibe.

Friendliest forum on the internet.

Hi @Panda1 . I do not think you should take any further action against the bike shop.

I do at least hope you're enjoying your bike now that it has new tyres.

Panaracer pasela (personal favourite tyre, and in tan wall) are way better than schwable marathon pluses...

Bad news is almost all bike parts including tyres are getting more expensive.

As low stock levels could be forcing prices up.

Hello

Once we are a bit more free, why not come to a drinks and meet some people and chat about bike tyres.

Bike tyres are quite a personal choice.

No, but you are going ever so slightly slower than you could be

It's good to know that I can buy your loyalty

Way I see it, my tread is directing water towards the centre of the tyre now and therefore decreasing friction with the road so I am possibly going slightly faster than I should be. And that's just science

Ok, Tester Jr

I could never ride it knowing the arrow was
pointing the wrong way.

One of the Conti attack motorbike tyres was recommended to go against the rotation arrow.

EDIT: Conti road attack tyres
