Almost brand new bicycle, how do I approach Halfords
Comments

This one was around £25 in a case about 35cm x 25cm x 15cm deep, and had a lot of the "essential" tools for doing the fiddly jobs. I am not suggesting that they would compete with my Campag/Stronglight?Mavic tools, but they did look pretty useful.
oh I know the one
I have the majority of them,so no use to me0 -
Personally I'd never trust my bike to Halfords. The level of competence varies too much for my liking so I'd rather do most things myself. Have a look at https://www.parktool.com for their repair/maintenance page. Very useful, step-by-step guide to trouble-shooting.
Buying bikes from Halfords isn't entirely the same thing - if you know what you want and can set it up yourself then there's no reason to avoid them. They also stock Boardman road bikes which are very good.
Glad the bike's working.It's only numbers.0
