sorry kudos dave. i see you were only having a laugh. I will recommend you to all my buddies at the nursing home. Could do with your e-bikes. :p I've got the tools at home for most maintenance bike work and a nice bike stand from aldi (it's actually exceptional value for money, dead impressed)...

Absolutely. The shop is not scraping it in fact the shop has huge stock and looks very sharp and also have online shop. In all honesty the mechanic is awesome guy. With my e-bike he went far and beyond to sort it (with in warranty) and also most of the sales staff. I will probably use them...

I'm not expecting charity but if there is a charge then price before hand would be courteous. Don't touch my bike then pluck a figure from thin air. Their are many other shops that will look at my bike for FOC so will take else where. f rate is £60/hr then a 2 min job equals £2 and not £10...

kudosdave good job i didn't bring my bike to your shop then! I think you have changed your tone because you know it's not the way to deal with customers. You are rambling on about overheads and rates/hour and that your "technicians" are the mutz nutz when all we are talking about is a simple 2...

What has the price at BMW got to do with bike shop? My local butcher charges £10/hr for cleaning meat. I'm assuming the price you have quoted is for an hour's work! I'd hate to think how someone would react after getting a puncture fixed from your shop. Quite frankly if LBS need to make...

£10. Bought an e bike from there this year for £1400. Shame as I've had good experience in past. I know it's only a tenner but I had the tools to do it at home which made it worse. When he told me mechanic will sort it and didn't mention cost I assumed it was for nought. Lesson learnt. Next...

My non e-bike front wheel had play when applying front brakes. Went to lbs who did 2 mins work by nipping up front rotor. What's reasonable charge?

I suppose I will soon. ;)

I thought you get 1mph more as the wheel will need to rotate further to reach same speed. But because it has higher circumference in reality that means you get a bit more speed. If that makes sense :) I feel I'm going faster even though I'm going at 15.6mph but it could just be in my head...

I had the the circumference of tyre reduced to lowest as I was told wheel size is fixed. It does feel slightly faster but cuts out same speed as before. Is that right?

Thank you very much mate. You've been ever so helpful. :)

Will see. The light bulb button on intuvia screen doesn't do anything. What's its function.

Display v5.5.1.0 Option is not there :(

I take it I reduce the wheel size? Nothing higher than 29er :)

Thanks bud. Your a star. I have a funny feeling that mine doesn't have that menu. Will check soon as I get home.
