This kit was fitted for Peter, who no longer wanted to tackle trails, yet missed riding. He had his bike Boosted so he could go further and not worry so much about the inclines. During the install we spotted the chain was fitted facing the wrong way, so the shifting may not have been up to scratch and the rear tyre had a split.

Looks like a bike, feels like a bike, but it's like swimming through treacle to ride.

There are no balls bearings - just plastic bushings

The result is stiff steering which can't be adjusted

Stiff pedaling because... no ball bearings

Wheels which don't spin freely, even unladen because... Plastic bushes where ball bearings would be better.

I believe this kind of so called bicycle hinder learning and cycling altogether.

The child can't ride because the build quality is not good enough.The parent won't buy another when the child grows, because the child has not taken to cycling.

This utter rubbish should not be sold!

The cycling gardener has made a return on his cargo bike. He manages to pack lots of tools on it!

This carbon road bike is used all year round and is maintained well and regularly. This visit was a headset replacement which required a front brake hose disconnection and subsequent brake bleed.

The owner opted for the upgraded headset bearings I offered which should lengthen the service intervals and time spent off the road. Many integrated headsets aren't additionally sealed meaning that water can sit and pool around the bearing and seep past the bearing seal gradually. This means a standard chromium steel bearing or a stainless steel bearing can self destruct prematurely simply due to water ingress from poor external headset sealing.

They should last longer shouldn't they? Yes they should.

Ask for better headset bearings when you book in for a service at rosscycles.com this Spring

This bike booked in for a bike wash with collection + delivery.

It changed to a Cosmetic Service in order to clean it properly ready for storage indoors for a period of no use.

What a good idea!
