I popped in to a cycle shop in Chiswick today.
I had my bike nudged by a car last week, which bent the back wheel, now straightened, and re-positioned my back brakes.
After 45 mins of trying to fix them the brakes seemed beyond repair to me. However I took them to the bike a shop, the mechanic came out and fixed it within about 2 minutes.
Should I have tipped the bloke? They didn't charge a penny.
Go buy something from them, that;s why they didn;t charge you. It's just good customer service.
Agreed - pick up a couple of spare tubes, gels, etc
My son's a bike mechanic at Balfe's Bikes in Kennington. They do numerous small repairs which they don't charge for. People often leave a small tip. Seems fair enough to me...
Thanks all.
I often buy from this particular shop and bought something on that day too.
Feel better now.
Reall all of you have great job dear, thanks
