They mullered it.

Oh boy..

Not only did the place that pressed my cog onto the new shaft muller the
gear teeth a little. They also mullered the gear a little more than I'd
spotted yesterday by managing to bend[1] the thing a bit. So it now has
a bit of a wobble.

Life is too short to try to go through the courts and get them to pay
for a knackered gear up kit and original cog that they don't make any
more... so Mr Credit card has been pressed into action and a 2nd hand
gear cluster ordered from a breaker. I may even find a specialist
company that aren't a bunch of wankers to do the pressing on / off this
time round.

Meanwhile, I'm going to run with a (bit) bent cog and see how long it
lasts.

[1] It has a little crack in near the centre too[2].
[2] As well as using copperslip instead of bearing fit type stuff.

 

Call them, as for recompense. If not small claims online?
Cunts indeed.

 

Small claims online? That's new...

I'll call them, when I find out what their number is and I can talk
without getting all shouty.

 

Did you pay for the original stuff on the credit card? If so, claim it back
from them and let them sort it out for you.

 

Nope.. the shop the scooter is getting done at sent it to them. Maybe
they used a credit card. I'm not letting those bunch of cunts get their
hands on and **** another gear cluster. I'm going to take it to a
specialist who aren't a bunch of monkeys with hammers for hands.

 

Name and shame (if only so others can avoid the animals).

I may well do, after talking to some people for advice on what best to
do and in what order.

 

The liability is with the scooter shop. The fact that they subbed the work
out to a third party is irrelvant to you. You have no contract with the
third party.

 

I shall be having words with them then. Oh dear. They weren't to know, a
scooter mag recommended this 'expert' to them.

 

Not your problem.

 

Even so, I have to walk and take buses. Ok, I'm getting my fitness
levels up again which is good, but it doesn't do my aches and pains any
good. Which is my problem.
