Apparently i had a rear hub failure yesterday.

The rear wheel suddenly went wobbly and moves from side to side.

The outer nuts holding the whole wheel and gears is solid but its internally where its come completely loose.

 

The bike just went through a complete service.

Should this have been picked up?

Was it the bike shop's fault for not tightening everything?

Or just wear and tear?

It looks new - it looks identical to my old wheel, just newer. Feels fine.

 

Hmmmm

That's a good result, isn't it?

yep - once it goes off their stock control it goes in the *bin* and is collected and goes back to base ... they make all their bikes up from kits maybe the original kit only had one wheel [ yes this can happen - I have peeps I know at Halfords  ] and the whole bike kit  got written off at some point 

 

you got a result that was the main thing

Sorry Sainty, but I had to laugh

I wanted to do it hours ago as the first reply, but the angel on my shoulder stopped me. :sad:

 Until the little devil on your other shoulder, whispered in your ear.
