  • I'd write it off to experience- and get out on the bike and enjoy the nice smooth BB.

    Hopefully the BB will outlast the feelings of annoyance from which you are currently suffering.

  • did the tesco at least face the bb shell?

  • Don't forget that you asked for a BB that will last a long time. A Hope Ceramic will last forever, so they did what you asked for. A steel one will only last about 5 years, and is 3 grams heavier, and £30 cheaper. Just get on with it.

  • Communication, you assumed they would fit a certain part.

    I wouldn't leave my bike with anyone until it was clear what work would be undertaken and what parts may need fitting. Getting a high-low cost estimate also makes sense if you want to avoid suprises.

    Seems like both you and the shop made a mistake.

  • thanks for the comments guys. especially the ones towards the end!

  • I can get these for £50, wire me the money via Western Union and I'll sort you out

    This. Wire me the fine via Western Union and we'll say no more, astrapower.

  • too much abuse for one day.

  • If it's built anything like their headsets and it hasn't plunged you into poverty, I'd go with what Dammit said.

    I'm a happy headset customer.

    Welcome to the forum.

    You'll never leave.

    They last forever? I thought they wore out faster. I need a new bb, and within the excessive trolling in here, is it a good recommendation?
