Fudging bicycle shop... I went in yesterday and asked for a 28x2.15 inner tube, ie what's written on the tyre. He sold me a 28 x upto 1.75, saying it will expand and fit. Utter liar. It won't push the tyre out to engage in the rim groove, because IT'S TOO NARROW!!!!

Now I have to back there tomorrow and argue with the annoying owner, who kept saying "it will say 700x something on the tyre somewhere". No, it does not! It may be the widest one you sell but if you didn't have the size I asked for just tell me.

Unless I go to Halfords I have little choice but to use these guys. So annoying. You can probably tell.
