I am the first to admit I am not particularly mechanically minded and even as a child I was more into Lego than Meccano..
Whilst we are currently away in Spain, my wife's front disc brake on her bike has been playing up. I have had numerous attempts to solve the problem but to no avail. So today I gave up and we took it the local bike shop for repair/adjustment.
Even with the language problem I was able to demonstrate the brake was not working.
The owner of the very posh cycle shop whisked it into the rear of the shop and returned with it some 7- 8 mins later. I gathered that whilst he had sorted the problem the disc pads were almost worn out.
Having recently read Cornerstready's post regarding £18 labour charge for attaching a sticky label to his locker, I was wondering would he attempt to rip us off but when he told us the price our first comment was " How much"
His raised fingers indicated the charge was 3 euros.
Now that is what I call service, as he knew full well he would never see us again. Can you honestly say you would pay the same in Britain?
