They were quoted £975 to make this Trek Remedy safe 

Many thanks 🙏.

Awesome 👌

Where I live I would run out of bikes before shop would have it ready, and not really an advanced shop like Mapdec, I got all the tools they got I think, all special stuff they send to a service centre in Oslo. So even if I did not want to I would have to work on it myself, but the cost saving in the long run is worth it, but investing in tools initially comes with a high price tag, but once good investments were made they last a logn time and get your money worth. Most work is easy. But good there are shops that can fix bikes. But I'm glad I know what to do and how to do it.

Yeah these guys are far more advanced than my LBS. I only need them on more complex issues and say I end up with a broken bike in one form or another and have to work out how to fix what they mullered. Even over torqued a derailer hanger and stripped the threads. Wish I was local to these guys.

The biggest problem with the bike in video? Using a pressure washer to force dirt and water deep into expensive parts. This can ruin a bike from day 1 and do it quickly.

Especially when full services are required on front and rear suspension.

@@mtbboy1993 Worked in Gausdal as a mechanic last year. UK is pricey, but there was another level expensive, and parts were hard to get.

I used to love that place. Had a Walvale Musette for many years.

Wow. Thank you so much.

Awesome!

Nice. Lovely gesture 👏

That’s cool

Great comment... Spot on

I feel you

Exactly my thoughts

💯 the right thing to do. A few Ghetto fixes to get him back on the road and the budget for the important bits 😊 I regularly get remedy's in (3 mate's ride them) although a bike shop quoted a customer 40 quid for a dub BB service as it had play turned out the compression washer wasn't wound in or the grub screw wasn't to torque 😮 (no charge) Full swap sram code to xt brake replacement plus components, I even repaired the downtube protection with glue and full service and tune up. We need to do better and look after the little guy/ future privateers pay it forward 😊😊

I partly agree, it is preferable that we have adults teaching this stuff as well as the responsibility, but we don't live in the same world that we grew up in. Lots of people just don't have any grasp of preventative maintenance and are taken by surprise that mechanical things wear out, including with bikes. I have had the conversation more than once in my life, it's not just kids or gen z or millennials either, it has been my parents and their generation as well. You point out to them that they have to get their cars serviced and MOT'd, but it's an alien concept to them that other things are going to wear out in the same way. And while we're getting frustrated by young people and kids and their lack of nous over 'obvious' things like how to do basic DIY or write a cheque, remember that for every boomer moaning about young people, there are a thousand boomers who can't manage utterly trivial tech tasks like email, messaging, online banking, setting up wi-fi, resolving login issues, and not falling for phishing scams.

Love that.

Wonderful bicycle businessman .

Thank you 🙏.

Thank you. That is really generous

Thank you 🙏 that’s really generous.

tack så mycket

A good honest reputation comes first .

Thank you. Heard you are having a great ski season this year.

The video shows the difference between shops that take the "it's worn ..put new on then" and the "it's worn...lets refurbish it then and save money" attitude. One shop doesn't need the hassle as the customer will just pay if they want it fixed. The job in/job out syndrome I call it, with the least hassle for the shop. The other shop does the work that's needed to fix it, but does that little bit extra on attention and detail, which gives them a bit extra hassle but ultimately gives the customer better service. One shop is a "halfords" and the other is a shop with mechanics in it.

That’s awesome. Good luck on your journey dude.

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏

😊

I took my whole bike , ORBEA Rise to Fox suspension workshop and they said “ oh people don’t usually bring the whole bike for a suspension service “ but they accepted it and charged £329 for both and they put the bike back together afterwards too 😂👍🏾

Never use a gurney on a bicycle !

Thank you. 🙏

Thank you Martin

Thank you 🙏

Thanks. It rains a lot here, but kids are a lot safer in schools.

Welcome aboard!

That, and the fact I only had to look at stuff to break it (according to my dad) made me the engineer I am today.

@@jurikristjouw You just have to know how stuff works. I get it :)

Yeah, glad to see someone hop off the circle jerk in these comments. This just seems like pandering to youtube for clicks. Bike shops shouldn't give shit to customers for free. The story here is: Bike shop gives estimate, youtuber undercuts labor value by doing free work, and expectation in people's minds that they deserve work for free. Not to mention the other shop wanted to fix everything and this guy is just kicking those same repairs down the line.

I was just thinking the same - pretty lucky youngster to be riding a very nice bike - surely the bank of mum n dad could afford the reduced Mapdec bill if they can afford a bike like that in the first place. Surely the Pay it Forward fund has more needy uses ?

Thank you Gary.

Wow, thank you! 🙏

Thank you. 🙏
