Default Props To Rad Cycle

So a friend of mine had a broken peg and asked me to take a ride from ClearH20 to Brandon to get it fixed for $10.00. I brought 2 of my riding buddies with me. He told us he sells brand new Pilot Powers at cost and chagres $15.00 for mount and balance Couldnt pass this up. $125.00 for a rear tire, out the door Very cool guy to work with and has tons of parts. He is also selling bike lifts for $150.00 Figured I would let everyone know about this place!

Thanks Rads Cycle!

rads the fing man...he hooks it up big time. i got my pipe, frame sliders, tires and my levers from him. i would have asked you to pick up my front brake lever from him if i knew thats where you were last night its hard for me to make it out there after work ...

rad is the man and i would definately reccomend him to anyone.

Default Rad's not worth the time

Had an unsatisfying experience dealing with this Rad's guy.

Tried to get him to tell me his prices for installing tires I purchased on the net.

He starts by wanting to know what kind of tires I bought. Why on earth would that make a difference?

Then he gives me a price, but says "if nothing's in the way of the tire."

How am I supposed to know whether he would determine if something was in the way of the tire?

I give him the year, make and model of my bike, and ask him to tell me straight up what he would charge to put my tires on my bike. He starts repeating himself with this "if nothing's in the way of the tire" nonsense.

I ask him if he cannot tell me (from a book, his own knowledge, whatever) whether he would consider something to be "in the the way of the tire." He tells me I can take my business elsewhere.

And guess what? I will. No one should try to do business with a dishonest or deceptive merchant.
