and braking on dp18 rigidas should be outlawed

dogmatic I can tell you this: I've got those super shiny polished finish dp18's without a machined braking surface and while they brake somewhat, I am starting to wonder wether they are the reason why I wasn't able to come to a full stop in time last week and ended up crashing into the back of a Renault Espace.

thats one of the reasons...the other one is the way you ride not how many braking surfaces and brakes and airbags you have on the bike:-p

polybikeuser [quote]broken_77 someone just walked in the shop saying he wants a bottom bracket for sugino crankset....i asked which one???? he goes sugino.....i said i cant sell you a bottom bracket unless i know what sugino.....he goes sugino...i go im not gonna sell it to you unless you tell me which sugino...and he walks awat pissed off.......someone through the conversation i told they vary in size and taper....no answer.......what should i have done?????? **draw i diagram **of sugino family tree?????

Mate, I don't know you, so don't want to pick a fight and neither have I ever worked in a bike shop, so maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about, but I spend my life explaining things like benefits and wellfare rights to people who don't understand that kind of stuff......so yes if necessary calmly and quietly draw the bloke a diagram.

I completely agree with your earlier point that retails shops like BLB can't compete on price with online stores because of the cost of premises/staff and that in a shop what punters are paying the extra for is the service, but they're also paying for your expert knowledge, this being the case it does seem a bit harsh to complain that customers don't share that same expert knowledge.

Unless the bloke was a complete argumentative twat it does, like I say, seem a bit harsh to complain that he needed you (the expert)to explain to him (the non-expert) that you need a different size bottom bracket depending on frame threading and which particular chainset you're running. In my experience this is the kind of thing that Brixton Cycles and the like deal with calmly and fairly effortlessly on a daily basis.[/quote]

i was really calm and effortless...........and as for brixton cycles i wish you could see ross in BC dealing calmly with customers sometimes:-).....and as for me being an expert...yeah thats what i did ...i asked which one???? as in which sugino chainset is he getting...all i wanted to hear is either 75 or messenger so then me "an expert" says either 103 jis taper or 109 iso....than i would have asked calmly what hub is he gonna use to match his chainline........
and as for me complaining...im not complaining ...i dont give a single flying fuck ...i was merely trying to present to all the people who complain about customer service how it looks from the other side of the barricade......and im not refering to the crank problem...more like general attitude of some people.....

another one.......can i have a tube,please???? what size??? kinda narrowish with knobles!!! Do you have the bike here??? no:-)
or my bike is making strange noise while pedaling,can i have some advice???? do you have your bike here??? NO:-).......

lucky that im a mystic so i can see the solutions in crystal ball

and yeah as for bad customer service............someone just walked in the shop saying he wants a bottom bracket for sugino crankset....i asked which one???? he goes sugino.....i said i cant sell you a bottom bracket unless i know what sugino.....he goes sugino...i go im not gonna sell it to you unless you tell me which sugino...and he walks awat pissed off.......someone through the conversation i told they vary in size and taper....no answer.......what should i have done?????? draw i diagram of sugino family tree?????

bad fukken client service says me

hm i was off on tuesday so have no clue about what happened.......anyway ill ask tommorow what the story is.....im sorry about the cranks........anyway i state form the start that im not 100 percent satisfied how the shop is run and what is going on but then im not a manager/owner. so i have basicaly 2 options. Option A is leaving which i dont really wanna do and option B is trying to somehow change the way it operates.....

and as for overpriced stuff..........well someone phoned in today asking for nitto bullhorns ....after i told him the price he said oh but hubjub has it cheaper...well yes it does becuz A)hubjub does not pay london rent B) hubjub has no employees to pay wage to ie. me:-) .....and I said before in other post....lets take chris king ....62 retail in USA, fine fair enough BUT.......67 pound wholesale in UK, add a vat to this and you have nice sum of 80 quid. plus the rent and the wage and some profit to buy peanuts for..........what would you make of that????

danger joel nice idea, i dont know when im going to be near the east end, are you going to be there on saturday?

yup most likely i ll be there on saturday. or maybe sunday at the polo ...

Wolfenger I'm not a bicycle messenger and never was, but I was a motorbike courier and know the hardships of injury - as my poor back will testify! I'll get some off you if I can do it via PP? Let me know. I'll take 5 for starters and any extra I make on selling them on I'll pass back to you for t'fund. Regards. Anthony
