In threads elsewhere on this board I have moaned about the shoddy workmanship I have experienced on my bike. Some of it has been life-threateningly dangerous. It has occurred to me just how much trust we place in the guys down at the workshop.
Recently, I practically took apart the whole rear of the bike fitting an undertail and replacing the wheel from the one the mechanic buggered up with badly fitted bearings.
It's like a new bike back there. Brake pads don't sound like like they're on the metal, (fitted properly now?), wheel bearings correctly fitted, chain adjusted properly and lock nut tightened, and everything degreased and cleaned. Take your chainguard off. Mine had truck-like goo one inch thick on it.
Face it, no one will treat your bike as if it's their own, except you.
