Just some dude
Metzlers installed! Rear rim has little knicks inside outer rim?!?!
Well I just put on the Metzler interact Z8's on Friday. Will give them a spin.. Hope all goes well. Have to admit a little P.O.'d. Got the bike back. I found a few Knicks on the back rim. Typically, it wouldnt really bother me. But considering I cleaned off the rear rim some time last week and didnt notice anything. And the bike is only 3 to 4 months old...
I Dropped the back off last Thursday. Then went to pick up the bike on Friday night. They hadnt swapped the tires out yet. They were extremely busy. While waiting I happened to notice when the bike was on the lift there was a number of knicks on the inside the rim. I have to admit I was a little embarassed, I mentioned it to them. Or maybe it was the fact it was Friday night and it took them 1.75 hours from when i had walked in the door to walk out. Coincidentally, it was the shop manager working on the bike....all he told me, " I m not sure what it would be. The wrench turning doesn't touch any of those angles when removing the rear tire" Absolutely no accommodation, and managerial denial. Not sure if it was all the rush, or the fact the shop manager did the work. As you can imagine he must very busy. I did happen to notice they lock there bikes parked in unison via cable for staging. Maybe that was it?
Soooo, what next?
Would you request them to replace rim?
Would you eat crow?
Do you think its too insignificant to matter, the road will eventually jack up the rim?
