How much?

Glad you got it sorted. I have popped into cycle shops over here and had minor jobs done for free or an extremely reasonale charge. It happens here too, not limited to over there 😉

I had a Bickerton folder on which the rear wheel bearing gave out when in Weymouth , the cycle shop in the High street was the port of call, i got the sharp intake of breath,as it was old and not repairable,hang on i might be able to help said the owner and promptly disapeared,and came back with a complete rear wheel,and said "this looks the same give it a try if it is no good just get rid of it, as it in my must do something with this lot pile" he would not take any money and it did fit   so we went back and gave a donation to the Lifeboat as he was one of the crew

Good price Swifty, but there are bargains over here at bike shops as well. My Cube has a wrong way thread on a pedal, bit of a nuisance, and every few miles I had pedal come off, and nut lost! Grr...... OH popped into a bike shop in Berwick while I was back at home, and was given lots of spares free of charge. Ironically, it has not happened since!  Glad repair ok though for you.

Its always struck me that privately owned businesses like bike shops are more likely to be generous than the big chains.  The same is true of some computer repair shops, very often they act like drop in centres for a good jaw and the money seems to be secondary

That’s a really odd problem, and particularly on a Cube. Pedals are normally made with one left hand and one right hand thread, so that they tighten up in service. Maybe Loctite would have helped.

They are indeed! And Loctite did help. It's a problem solved now, but irritating at the time. 

Good service Swifty, 6 weeks ago in France my wifes folding bike unfolded  and luckily it was as we left our pitch (grass) so she escaped relatively undamaged 

The threads stripped in the hexagonal locking socket, went to an engineering firm on an industrial site and they manufactured a new piece. They wanted absolutely nothing for their work and took some persuading to accept some beer money, we were very impressed by their helpfulness.
