because I don't like their policies ......
Â*Well shop somewhere else then. Halfords don't hold a monopoly on brake
cables which are a pretty standard item assuming a customer is capable
of cutting them to length themselves.Â* Brake cables from some/most
suppliers
even have different shaped nipples at each end to suit different levers.
There are probably loads on eBay assuming you have a letter box of some
description.

my 2m long ebay £1.94 barrel ended Jagwire one hadn't arrived and I was
going to the trailer park ......


Â*It's hardly the lowly paid assistants fault if he finds himself
having to
deal with the type of customer who doesn't seem to realise they can buy
brake cables in loads of places is it ?Â* Day in and day out. What you
don't


you are talking ****e it was a distress purchase or I wouldn't have been
there.....

seem to realise is that is people like you who keep outfits like
Halfords
in business in the first place.


not me they are over priced and they don't hold much stock any longer
but they can get you it...feck that I can do the same off ebay .....

Â*If I had aÂ* sentimental attachment to local bike shops, all
currently being
run single handedly by the 60 year old grandsons of their founders
back in
190whenever, now all facing retirement and hefty rate increases,
which I don't.
I'd say its people like you who are responsible for so many LBS's
going out
business in the first place, as nobody wants to take them on.


my local bike shop is Dooleys in Paisley and is for those lycrra clad
sporty types who spend fortunes on their carbon fibre speed machines and
are not interested in a £1.95 purchase for an raleigh ikea 20 inch
bike......been ****ed about with in there years ago and wouldn't go back
at any cost
