Email from a friend who needs a new BB. I'd told him to pop into Evans with his bike, ask them for a Shimano UN-54, and get them to measure the chain line so they can give him the correct axle length. Bring that to me, I will replace for beer.
Just got this email:
"I've just spoken to Evans and they want £40 for fitting a bottom bracket plus the cost of the bracket.* They've said they can't let me what size I need without taking the old bracket out first and they'd charge me for that as well."
WTF? £40? Have they not been reading Sheldon recently?
