Bowing out gracefully

Boo fucking hoo, learn to ride your bike!

Last time I went to 'treads (to get the PR2s fitted) I did a wee bit of a burnout at the bottom of the ramp, and all the smoke drifted up and stunk out the shop for several minutes.

You wouldn't be the first!

You know, I forgot how good Leffe Blonde was until I tried it recently for the first time in a couple of years or so. I think I'll go back to drinking it on a regular basis.

Also, I'd just like to point out that you, sir, are an empty-headed animal food trough wiper, and your bike smells of elderberries.

Leffe Blonde? Pah! Have you tried Mac's Brewjolais? Parts of my physiology that I had previously assumed were incapable of orgasm are still twitching.

It will be interesting how the services changes with Mikey leaving.

Bungi is there now, but being new, Im not sure whether he will bend the rules like Mikey did in the name of awesome service and good deals.

Im going to get front pads replaced and a new set of rotors put on. Usually would cost me around $100, will have to see how much I get charged now.

Oh, where's Mikey going? Bungi scares me, he talks too quietly. In addition, he's far too professional to be trustworthy.

Yes Mikey has left, and Lindsay left this week too but Bungi is stacked full of knowledge, and seems a top dude too.

Service is still bloody excellent. Went in on the way home on thursday for new rotors fitted and brake pads, nick said he'd just turned a guy away for the same thing, but did mine. Good price too.

Having been a customer of cycle treads for 6 years, and always going to them first to buy whatever I needed, I will not go there again.

How shit can service get!

Rock up fill out job card put bike in obvious place to be worked on. Only one customer in the shop, me.
After 20 mins, no one has acnowleged me or talked to me or even walked to the counter where I sat(too long to stand).
Walked up to wierd bald guy and tried to say hello. To which I got the response " I'm going to pretend you're not there by not looking at you".

Fuck this sort of treatment.

Went to holeshot who were too busy but let me use their tools to take my tyre off so they could quickly change it.
Left them with some beers and Burbon. Thanks guys!


This is just one of many incidents I have let slide from treads. I suppose its better than being verbally abused a couple of months ago at treads

[TLMAN]

Am still undecided about treads at the moment.

I was in there for a full service and new tyres earlier this week.
I wasnt charged for any labour (service) or fitting costs (tyres) which was awesome, the mechanic was friendly enough and let me watch him as he worked, but the shop floor staff could do with a bucket of prozac to munch on, its a bit like being in a library as apposed to a bike shop.
