this part I can handle. ok I haven't made that mistake since I was in my teens. sucks when you hear glug glug glug and suddenly realize what it is. I will say you don't make that mistake twice though. LOL

thanks for the informative post Derf. Great info.

Well I will never understand some people's thinking. Apparently he has decided he'd rather pay the shop to do it. I guess $200 for labor is better then free.

I told him not to mention adjusting the chain to the shop, (he is having the rear tire changed) yeah he thought he should ask them to do that as well and they were kind enough to throw it on the est as a 1/2 hour labor to adjust the chain.

Oh well I tried.

I won't ever understand someone taking their bike to the shop for an oil change. I mean, it's not rocket science. Tell him my 15-year-old daughter is doing her own this week. Sure, I'm supervising, but she's doing it.

You could have just charged him and called it a day
