Halfords

[The Jogger]

Well, I bought a bike through the companies C2W scheme last year and with it I bought a service plan, so the bike was due a service. It's a Sirrus 2008 which was too small frame size and Halfrauds refused to change it. Anyway, when I put the bike in last week, the front wheel was rubbing. I went to pick it up today and the front wheel was still rubbing and the tyres were softer than when they went in. After a quick ride around the carpark I brought the bike straight back to the bike mechanic (sorry, shop assistant, he was not the one that was supposed to have serviced it). I said look the tyres are soft, the wheel rubs and he said it needed a new brake cable. I let him put a new one on and he tried to get the wheel running without touching the brakes. What a Dick (yes, I think his name was Richard) When I got the bike home, the back wheel is now rubbing against the brake. To make things worse I have another £400 of vouchers on the way.

I know there is an expensive high spec shop that takes them but I think I'll go for a Sirrus Sport Large frame this time. I've emailed an lbs to see if they take the vouchers.

Take the vouchers to Condor.

and buy a rapha gillet ...

Condor are good chaps but email them and arrange to go round when they're quiet, they get rushed off their feet by all sorts of riff raff when they're busy

thank you gents, I might just do that, when the vouchers turn up.

I orderded my bike on a Friday afternoon at about 15:00 they weren't too busy and were able to spend about 50 minutes helping my choose and do the bike fit.
