Re: Need photos of bike parts horror stories
Some good pics, thanks for efforts so far.
Its hard to explain what Im after, so harder to find through google. Imagine you're an MOT tester, have seen all sorts, and then you see somethins that shocks you, makes you laugh, whatever, its so bad/comical/unbelieveable/weird that you want to take a picture of it. Ive got a couple of the car pics I use to try and illustrate the point.

Re: Need photos of bike parts horror stories
I should be nipping to my local garage at some point this week I'll try take a snap of some moron's brake pads they have hung up on the counter.
He tried to cliam a caliper under warranty as he suddenly noticed there was a problem with his brake when loads of fluid was coming out of the caliper. He had managed to wear piston shaped holes through the backs of the pads.

Re: Need photos of bike parts horror stories
Finally got to the bike shop.
This scooter was booked in with an 'oil leak'. There was brake fluid ****ing from his caliper. Brakes must have been squealing for weeks! IMAG0088.jpg

Bloke said he's had them worse; snapping above where the top of the worn hole in the pictured one is leaving just a couple of loops and an ajoining bar between the pins. He said he regrets becoming a peugeot dealer! Attracts some right ****wits.
