Hi all. Just wondering what others have been charged for fitting a re-furb back axle, (just the fitting charge, not including the cost of the axle). I ask because I have just had mine done by a loca...

My new cable felt better than the old one, but after a day or 2 I decided it didn't feel right. Still too stiff, biting point still too low and I could feel a slight buzzing through the pedal when ope...
