u/Emotional-Hold127

I bought a used road bike recently and it was acting a little wonky shifting on the front two chainrings so I took it to my LBS.

I was originally told they would replace the chainrings and give it a tune up.

I failed to ask for an estimate because I felt like it was pretty minor work.

A while later, I stopped back in to check on the progress. Not only has the work not started, they want over $500 to replace the entire drivetrain. Uhhh…

I know parts and labor add up but that’s more than twice what I paid for the bike.

I told them to hold off.

So now my choices are:

1. suck it up and have them do the work.

2. take the bike back and do it myself

3. tell them to just do the front and call it good.

Any suggestions?
