Guy who did my WOF was clueless

[cowboyz]

i had the bike shop put in new rear brake pads when they put a new tyre on cause it was easy. I didnt want the bike shop to do the WOF cause my rear brake line is a briaded cable with no markings on it so they will fail it everytime even though it works better than the OEM rubber hose which split.

So I took it down to Onroad and they passed it with flying colours. Riding it home I there was grinding in the rear. So a closer look I founf that the brake pads were put in back to front.
Now bad bad for the mechanic who wasn't paying attention adn putting them in backwards. bad bad bad for the tester who didn't notice it when doing the warrent.

Cant win really.

After going for a WOF at On The Road, Portage Rd, New Lynn. I figure out those guys just don’t have a clue what they are doing, when it comes to a bike WOF anyway. The guy made me do emergency stops using my rear brake. I wasn’t particularly happy about it and thought it unusual to do emergency stops using the rear only. He made me do it three times, on the fourth time, he lost his rag with me and said “I’ve told you the rear break only, stop using that front breaks I’m going to fail you. I looked at him and said “that’s not my break it’s the clutch man”. Then red faced filled in the form with a PASS, not even checking my front breaks at all. What do yer recon ? :

ok... that fracking funny...

hope you told him that the rear brake is only 15% of your stopping power...

Metal to metal will pass the required brake test,and on cars it's easy to miss thickness because sometimes we can't get a visual on the pads...we aren't allowed to remove wheels.But on bikes of course the pads are easy to see,most of the time anyway.
