Well, golly. You chaps seem to change things more often than me
I popped my spouse's bike in for service before (as in another thread) passing it on to a new possible keeper on a 'sale or return'.
Computer said 7000 kms. I fitted the computer after a couple of years use, so I guess a conservative 10kms.
I don't look after hers as much as I look after mine (her bolt heads don't get quite so much brasso and qtips - stop smirking at the back) - but in this sandy and saline place both bikes get a chain rotation through one rag with Simple Green and another with Pedros or Castrol GTX after every outing.
I asked for a new chain and cassettes if needed - answer 'They're fine, no need'. After Helsinki to Stockholm 2005, London to Copenhagen 2007, Vienna to Budapest 2011, weekly 50 kms minimum, sometimes many more
Is my shop slacking? I don't think so

Reason: I replaced a word, archaic, meaning a schoolboy chuckle, but which had in the middle a racist term - not intended, certainly
