Under your scenario, I'd expect you to replace those walls everytime they call.
That is a logical fallacy.
If the drywall fell off the studs because I used finish nails rather than drywall screws, then I would be on the hook for repair because that is not something that the customer should have needed to specify. Under my scenario, and in real life: I fix my mistakes, as common sense dictates.
More to the point: If the OP is riding his bike for its intended purpose, that the shop sold it to him for, and he is not abusing it (which I don't know this, he doesn't say that he's taking it off any sweet jumps or whatever) then it was the shop's fault for selling him an inappropriate product. I mean, let's face it, Clydes don't look skinny. The sales guy should have broached the subject of weight and wheels and determined if those stock wheels were appropriate to the OP. It's their fault that they didn't mitigate their liability.
