I finally found a shop that actually cleans the drive train before a tune up
Stopped by a shop near Austin yesterday and watched the mechanic degrease the cassette and chain BEFORE touching the derailleur, I've been turning wrenches 12 years and that's the first time I've seen it done right, has anyone else run into shops that skip the grime and just adjust stuff on top of it?
Read a thread on a bike forum a while back where a guy said his local shop charges extra for a "drivetrain deep clean" as a separate line item from the tune up. Seems like the right way to do it, since the grime has to come off one way or another. Skipping it and just twisting barrel adjusters on a filthy chain is lazy work.
