reckon
the cake is a lie
I don't like posting negative shit, but this has just gotten ridiculous.
a few years back I go to SCCA (they are 2 miles from my house) and get a couple of tires for 2 different bikes: bring in the wheels, buy the tires, they install, and I pick them up in a few hours,....I remember they installed one of the tires backwards,.....and fixed it once I brought it to their attention,...no big deal,...it happens.
NOW after getting another tire for my yamaha vision at SCCA about a year ago, I take in just the wheel, came back a few hours later and they screwed up the install AGAIN it was backwards, so I take it back, they "fix" it,.... :|
now I probably SHOULD have double checked it, but I figured if they screwed it up the first time, NO WAY they would get it backwards TWICE. (or is that 3 times now)
I have several of these bikes (yes, I know, psych treatments are continuing) so I just stuck the wheel/new tire in the shed, and waited for the current one to get the flat spot (I ride mostly freeway=commuting), then switch em out, and go get a new tire on the other wheel,...so I go to install it just now and, I did a John MacEnroe "you CANNOT be SERIOUS"!!" :wtf yup, still backwards.
(they probably never did ANYTHING? or they put it on backwards TWICE?) :wtf
cept now it's been a year, the receipt is long gone, and to be honest, after reading MANY posts here about the EXACT SAME ISSUE with SCCA,...I wont be going back ever again.
is it because it's a shaft drive? do you need to put little arrow stickers on the wheels? do you need to stand there and WATCH them?
this is just ridiculous
now to figure out how to switch this around without paying $30 MORE.
ok venting session over, I feel better, save the flat spotted rear tire I now have to ride around on.
