Hope Ceramic BB - £110 too much?

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

Goodluck Brown has branched out into bicycles now?

There's a £100 charge for posting questions like this in the General section..

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?
