Ive ordered new bushings for the fox shock, but me being my normal impatient self hates waiting so I rang a few shops today. I asked for the bushings and every shop said they didnt have any so I thought perhaps they dont want to just sell the bushes. I then rang cyclesuk and asked could they fit 2 new bushings for me, lol a 5min job and they wanted to send the shock back to Fox. :lol:

Yeah CyclesUK don't seem to do anything but the most basic jobs. They wanted to do the same for some bomber seals and charge about £80, seals are £14.99 for chain reaction.

Phoned up to see if they had any downhill-suitable inner tubes at short notice... They didn't, and neither did other shop in essex apparently :(



Still, not quite as insulting as my local bike shop, when I asked if they had any bigger tubes I was told

"2.2 inches is the widest we do, so unless you're running downhill tyres, <looks me up and down> which is unlikely, these ones will be fine". The cheek eh?! :lol:
