[bikeqld] Bikeshop... "you've flogged it"

[Yani]

Yani - Can you have a look at why my gear change is impossible to tune?

 

Bikeshop - "You have flogged it, how far have you been riding, it needs new
gears all round, a chain and likely new bearing real soon. It's reached its
duty limit."

 

 

So much for my Giant mountain bike.

 

 

Now the question is do I pass the bike on to someone who wants a cycle for
the garage and get a new one or do I spent $300 on repairs sometime in the
next 6 months?

 

 

It's only 4 years old so it look just fine. If I hadn't asked I'd have
thought it was worth $400 s/h (at a pinch).

 

 

Sell it and upgrade or repair it? Giant Rincon with rim breaks. It's been a
great bike, obviously been good to me. In pretty much perfect condition bar
the miles I've done. Nice black one.

 

 

What is the consensus? Repair bikes or replace them when they get plenty of
use?
