The forks were on backwards. and the lady said she wondered why her feet kept hitting the front wheel.
I asked if it came in a box to rule out duff home assembly but apparently not. It was assembled and collected from the shop like that.
I told her to be really careful and to take it back to get it sorted. She also mentioned her daughters bike tyre had had to go back because it had a big bulge. Sounds like the tyre wasn't seated right and had just been inflated anyway.
I inflate peoples tyres and advise on saddle height too. (If your knees are in your eyes your saddle is too low)
I think I may be obssessed. But I quite like the "oohhh! It works much better now!' response I get. I can't stand people working extra hard for no reason. If there is a more efficient way to do something then do it!! Although the man who commutes down Pollokshaws road at high speed in first gear, ALL THE WAY is beyond saving. Or he has superconducting teflon knees.
