Thanks for your reply. I went to the fade street shop, is that not yours?

Brought my giant defy 4 there just to align the chain. Dropped the bike in, got a call a few hours later to tell me that the whole chain kit had to be changed. Cost 120 .
Since the bike was 4 years old I thought it could be good to change that and get it back to its younger days.
That evening I picked up the bike, and on my way home the chain kept skipping. Every time I pressed hard on the pedal it skipped.
I brought it back the next day and was told I had to use the gears better and use smaller gears going up hill, or when starting at a green light. I cycled this same way for 4 years with the original chain, never had an issue.
Nevertheless, the chap looked at it turned a few screws and on my way i went.
A bit better, still not amazing, for a few days. Then it started again.
The bike has not been the same since, it s like riding an old bike, they don t know how to fix it and when they try it say nothing is wrong..

While they are nice lads, they are not able to work on a good bike. Bring in your old second hand bikes, or bring them for puncture repairs, but if you have a decent bike, avoid them at all costs!
