Hello everyone, my Viking VX750's front and back brakes does not stop my bicycle when I press the front and back brakes for 1 - 2 months.
1 week ago, I brought it to Cycle King shop and the staff told me the price for the front and back brake are £26. I just called my local bicycle shop this morning for a quote to put cables for my front and back brake. He told me 1 cable is £5.99. If he does it, it's £30 and if he gives the cable to me and I do it, it's £12. I want to bring my bicycle to Cycle King to do it since they charge £26 but my few problems are I have to leave the bicycle at their shop and can collect it 2 days after. If I leave it in the shop, I can't travel back to my house and travel to Cycle King on the due day to collect it. The local bicycle shop is just 23 minutes walk from my house to the shop and vice versa. So I can leave the bicycle there and collect it any day later easily. But I don't want to pay for the price if it's a rip off(Although I would consider paying £2 or £3 extra if I can easily leave it at a shop, get the brake cables repaired and collect it) and the owner told me he needs to see the bicycle, the price may be more than £30. I appreciate if anyone can give me advice for my bicycle problem.
