Wa Kaoz
1st story: I went cycling a few weeks back. A kid bang into me at ECP. He bang into my pedals and then my Derailler. My derailler was busted on de spot so i have to WALK all de way home from ECP to Hougang.
The next day, i fixed derailler and presto! it work like new. Okie, im lying, it didnt work like new. It is working, but i have to retune it. And tat includes repositioning de Derailler hanger. I got it done anyway and it works like before.
Today: I was cycling halfway when suddenly my bottom bracket starts screaming. It goes 'Creak, Creak, Creak creak creak!' I unsaddle immediately and took a look. Visual inspection couldn't see anything wrong, so i decided to cycle to a bike shop and ask for help.
When i reach de bike shop, i told de boss wat happened. He look look a bit and then said tat de whole bracket is screwed and need to change. Then I asked him how much, he told me tat he don carry my brand of bracket as its cheap stuff... My heart sank... He said its CHEAP STUFF...
I decided to try my luck at de other shop. When i told this boss wat had happened, he also said tat my bottom bracket is screwed. Then he look look and touch touch. Then he said 'Your bike is good quality stuff, i don carry ur stuff here...'
I was so STUNNED. 1 said tat its CHEAP, other said tat its GOOD. Im confused. DOTZ
When I told him wat de other bike shop said, he laughed and told me tat my bike is in de semi pro range. So its consider GOOD at normal level but CHEAP at high level.
So I LL go find another shop. De boss look look see see, then CYCLE... When he made a round and came back, he said tat de bracket is jus loose. The main issue is the bearings. He told me tat its not expensive and he said tat he carries de goods.
Im so happy~~~~ then he proceed to change. Halfway through, he said tat he can see tat I have been torturing my bike quite a bit. I said yea, he said tat i got GOOD judgment when I bought this bike, cos its super durable.
When he remove de bearings, he show me de bearings, de bearings are screwed... After changing de bearings, all is well again~~~~
So happy~~~
