    I recommend just taking the bike to Arthur........even for something minor, say a lose screen bolt for instance. Leave it with him and pick it up a few days later, the whole bike will be gleaming and all for a measly £1.50 (labour for the bolt lol).

    Couple of ideas from me...:)
    1. Don't ride the bike.
    2. Fit black sprockets.
