chain tightening

alantf · 01-21-2013, 05:34 AM

While I was doing my checks I noticed that the chain needed tightening. I couldn't be bothered to do it, so on my way out, this morning, I called into the bike shop. He had a lift free, so he did it while I waited. It took him 5 minutes. Total cost €3 ($3.99) Hardly worth me changing into old clothes, getting the tools out, jacking up the bike, & laying on the cold garage floor. :2tup:

About an hour labor here...$85.00.

Money well spent. As we get older those hard cold floors are not very inviting.
