Accessories often can be purchased at high volume stores cheaper. Yet, small stores where you are thought of as a regular is where I find you get excellant repair at reasonable prices. Example. Just this week I replaced four brake pads on one of my commuters. I did the same about a year ago. / A year ago, I on the spur of the moment , in a rush ; paid 48 euros to replace for brake pads at a large mega store. / Just this Tuesday, I paid 27 euros to replace the same four brake pads. Plus the mechanic did an overall adjustment of the brake and shifters. / I very much like my small shops where they know my name.
