| I've only really come across that in the UK. I was charged for fitting new tyres and disks supplied by me.
That was by Bikesmart in Ealing, London and they were happy enough to fit the parts and charged me three hours labour, about 100 odd pounds for the pleasure.
It didn't really bother me as I didn't have a garage or stands to remove the wheels, but the wife went septic when I told her it'd cost the equivalent of about NZ$300.00 to fit the parts.
Servicing costs are bloody cheap over here in NZ when compared to the UK, however the value of bikes and other luxary goods are about twice the price in terms of disposable income |
