Dont Ever Go To Cycle World

When they cant even find a part for me I know I can do it 10x better than them.

Not personally dogging you but I dont understand how someone can own something (be it anything) and not know how to use it/understand it/work on it.

So get your ass workin on that bike. Right meow.

They have it held hostage otherwise Id take it back...

And I understand your theory...But I dont think someone shouldnt be able to own a bike simply b/c they dunno how it operates or is put together...Some people just arent mechaniccly inclined and its better that they send it somewhere where soemoen is...

I just happened to not listen to my gut and I tried to take the easy way out and not fix it myself...Im just angry that they are taking THIS long for a Rotor.

i see that alot at my shop and i deal with guys who have been riding 30+ years. But what really pisses me off is when they think they know how to work on their machines and get all the parts they need and then call me telling me that they ordered the wrong one and then try and tie mechanic up asking questions and wasting 30 or more minutes of their time trying to figure out what the problem is.

Welcome to life at a bike shop, guy.

You can't change a rotor yourself. Come on ginger, be a man, put that thing on a stand and replace it your damn self. It's super easy.

I KNOW THAT...Lol

Im kicking myself in the ass...But As Stated...Coming off eleven days off I had a Shitton of crap to deal with and I just wanted it fixed while I was doing said things...Turns out I could've fixed it myself quicker.

Lesson learned...Just stay away from Cycle World.

dealers in general are slow unless you have a reservation and they have all the parts in stock. Just do it yourself unless it's something major.

Wow that sucks!

I'm so thankful that I have a lot of friends who are good about teaching me stuff. I still know very little about my bike (and bikes in general) but I'm trying to learn.

I go to a shop that's 2 hours away BUt he's willing to teach me how to do everything. (personal friend). Apparently....very worth it!
