That's the thing, that B'twin cost £70 new, once it booked in for a service, it's cheaper to get a new bike instead.

I totally get that, but I'd suggest to the customer that it's worth upgrading brakes/wheels etc as they wear out rather than spending another 70 quid and adding to landfill. I also totally understand that this is hard to convince people of, but it gotta try, they've already got the first bike

I did tried that, a pair of decent Shimano brake plus labour still cost more than the bike (£40 brakes, £40 Labour).
