Add Tax

From my experience, bike shops charge around $60-$100/hr for labor.

$250 really isn't that far out of the ballpark.

Like I said, $150 for parts, but i think $100 in labor is steep. Even at $100/hr (which is pretty high) There is no reason RD, cassette, and chain replacement should take an hour. Unless im missing something, a decent mechanic should be able to do it in 30 min, tops. Never said the price was crazy, just seemed like a bit much for whats being done.
