If a large chain of bike shops advertises a bike as having sealed bearing hubs, and it doesn't, am I within my rights to ask them to swap the hubs for ones with sealed bearings before I buy it? They are telling me that all specs are subject to manufacturer change but I cannot find this on their website anywhere. At present they are offering to not charge labour for swapping hubs but I would still have to buy the new ones. I'm not sure if this is relevant but the bike is heavily discounted.
