There's a local shop I go to for almost anything bike related , and they're really , really good. I like the staff a lot and I get discounts and a bunch of deals or service first , but I'm in a little situation
I blew my bearings on my old hub so I got them to fix it but the hub itself shit out and the bearings and maintence was useless because the hub sucks , so they helped out and got me a Éclat Kolibri hub , for a whole sale price of 60$ - they made no profit .
I bought my own rim , and they got spokes and nipples and built it up , so all in all the hub , nipples , spokes , and the build were about 120$ or something close
It was a LHD hub and I ride RHD
I clearly stated I need a RHD to the guy who ordered it ( not the owner ) and I mean they should know as my bike is in there all the time but I went to leave the shop today after getting a chain on and it's a LHD , it pedals forward going forward and stays going back ...
Now I'm gonna phone the owner and see but I don't want to make a scene , buttt it's my money so I want to make sure I get it's worth .
I thought about asking for a refund for the hub as well as the spokes and maintence because if I wanted a RHD hub they'd have to replace it and I was told spokes aren't as strong when you re lace them . Since it's my rim , They'd have to take everything back :/ I thought about asking to see if they can buy this wheel and build me up another one , so it's like a trade for a trade and they can sell "mine" and they can wholesale order new parts and build it up without me paying and then we're both happy . I don't really want to run it LHD because I grind on that side , and I hate right side grinds , but it would be easier and I can learn , but then it'll switch my set up and style and I don't want to do that for something that wasn't my fault
Pretty bummed because I had plans and my friends are choked and I don't want to make my shop feel bad but I want something that I originally wanted ...
I'll phone them now
