So, I dropped my bike off at the lbs asking them to check the bearings on my park bike because the wheels were running slow. They turned around and advised a whole slew of services, from "tubeless refresh" to "rust-proof coating for the rotors" and a bunch of other stuff. I said no thanks, I can maintenance my own sealant and they wanted 1k anyway. So they did the bearing work and replaced 3 of the hub bearings (but not the 4th?) and it's running me over 500 bucks. They said some of the bearings were seized and required additional time. I should just buy a bearing puller and check them more often. I know the shops are hurting post-pandemic boom, but I kinda feel a little bit of padding is going on...rust proof, ha.
