#!markdown See I had a funny one recently. I brought my bike in for a spiffy service (bleed brakes, change fork oil, service pivots) but I had purchased some parts online before I brought the bike in intending to install those parts myself because putting in a bb is not difficult. I let it slip I had ordered these new parts. But the shop basically wouldn't release the bike to me citing they werent sure if it was ok unless they put the bb in (charging me in the meantime). I was trying to be nice and support the local shop but the way they handled it was really awkward. Stuff like this leaves a bad taste in my mouth and makes me not care if i am being a pain in the ass to a shop (as bad as that sounds).
