Hence why i asked what type of bike it was? If its a 700 its believable, if a standard 26" then its at least 50% more than anywhere else (just google shop one and decent-ish brands start at about £15 for a front £20 for a rear.
My point was simply that the guy might be more willing to pay £20 than £40, working for a competitor has nothing to do with it. And if i want to refer to them as halfrauds then I will.
Just one more thread to which you contribute nothing. Your getting a knack for it!Back by no demand whatsoever.0 -

Not what you stated though?0 -
£40 is nothing for a wheel, I've pro cyclists in my family who pay more for parts than I would for a car.
Ask him nicely to repair- and contact insurance if he doesn't.
Couple of years ago, saw pretty much the same thing happen in Edinburgh. The car concerned drove off, my partner and I had the number plate, and happily gave a police statement. Cyclist did eventually contact us to say it had been repaired.0 -

Well obviously there are more expensive wheels but halfords will be quoting for a basic spec low end one they stock in bulk. Probably supplied by moore large or similar.Back by no demand whatsoever.0 -
Did you fall off your bike? If so, there may be a personal injury claim there, especially if your back is rather painful following the incident.We’ve had to remove your signature.
