Default More recomendations for spannerman

Took my bike to Spannerman today for a scottoiler fitment. That went well, as expected.

But

I spotted something in me rear Avon Storm. Stewart poked and said air is leaking

bugger.

Anyway, being the kind gent he is, he whipped it out.....i mean off, and plugged the hole for me

*snigger*

Then his highly trained and uber-sensitive ear told him my rear wheel bearings required replacing. So he did that aswell

So here is another thanks to you Spannerman for taking care of me and my SV.

Needless to say, the work was done excellently and the price was more than reasonable.

Matt

Good evening all.


Glad you were pleased young Matt. I promise to warn you before I whip it out again MATRON!!!
Keep an eye on your oiler, or you'll get over lubed, which is not as much fun as it sounds

Sunshine. If I was going to conn someone I'd do it for more than a couple of measly wheel bearings. (I just hope Matt doesn't ride too hard on the plastic ones I fitted to his bike)

Sadly, Geodude I tried going north a few years ago, but no one could understand me Hence my return to the South.

Give me a call Lucas, we'll get you sorted.


Cheers.

the bearings fell apart again down the road...I'm just adapting to a wobbly rear wheel now

On a serious note, now I have that puncture fitted, my bike handles again properly
