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

Yeah, and I can understand that people can't afford to change everything at once, but it's worth going for even a smaller upgrade for those people. Maybe something aluminium tektro over the pressed steel ones they come with would be an upgrade.

That is true, it is entirely possible to make the brakes feel better with simply tweaking and maybe cable/housing.

Ultimately when I had that in my workshop a dozen of times, only one were approved and that's just the rear tyres.
