What did you do to your bike today?

[PRD]

I picked my bike up after its 24000 mile service including valve shim checking. It needed 8 valve shims and new plugs. I saw the old ones and they did look rather tired.  Also disc pads all round ,various filters etc. and all this for a mere £697. Xmas is on hold!

[viper]

not such a bad price considering,

very surprised that you needed any shims after 24k miles , but hey ho

[tomp]

All one can do is trust the tech to be honest, or watch him measure each valve.  If you are happy and don't feel taken advantage of, then all is good for many more miles to come... tp

I'm happy I trust them. And a lot cheaper than changing bike which I'm happy with.

  .... If you are happy with the bike then the cost is not so important .. just enjoy it and keep smiling !

I like the concept but it's a bit pricey for me at the moment.

Broke my front mudguard today. Rolled baby back forgetting the disc lock was still on... Big chunk broke off 

Totally gutted and heartbroken

Its so easily done Debs

I've always been put off getting a disc lock as I hear too many stories like that. Gutted for you Debs, at least it didn't take out the brake callipers
