Customer said the bottom bracket felt a little rough. Further investigation showed a very poorly BB that could not be saved.
Just a quickfire selection of some of the bikes I've recently fixed.
Set up and ready to get started on servicing this Look KG HR 461 carbon road bike in Burnham Market.
A 9 year old boy from the local area had his bike stolen twice from his garden. This bike was his pride and joy. It was found a few weeks later in his local park completely trashed. His family were rightly angered by this but wouldn't be able to afford the repairs. So I offered to fix it for free. This is the before, during and after and the said young man being reunited with his cracking bmx. One very happy owner.
A bike can make such a difference to a person's life affecting both their physical and mental wellbeing. A random act of kindness can make someone's day, week, month or year. Be kind when you can.
Customer said they had had an issue a few weeks previous and it resulted in a buckled wheel. Bit more serious than that and ended up with the wheel being replaced!
Safe to say the customer hadn't seen this before I took the bike in. It shows that checking the wheel as you go over the bike should include flexing the spokes.
A well functioning drivetrain needs to be properly cleaned and maintained.
