i don't care how much money you spend there, and those prices all seem fair, including the cranks. except for the hold fast straps, those things are stupid.
to reiterate: totally reasonable to ask them to swap out their own product for a different tooth size. totally unreasonable for you to ask them to swap out something you brought in with you. they don't even know if you stole it or not.
what if I show my invoice/packing slip and double pinky swear that it isn't stolen?
just foolin'. fair enough. if it were your shop you'd say "no". noted.
i'm not going to storm in there and demand anything. and i won't get bent out of shape or push back if they say no.
but i am going to ask in a very easy way if that's something they would consider and if no, i can easily sell the ring on CL and buy the one I need and be done with it.
also noted that you believe holdfast straps are stupid. that's very insightful and i cannot thank you enough for taking the time to break that down for me.
also embarrassed that i thought they were cool. i should've known better than to use products that you don't use.
