Flecc, "Common sense"and "Two parties working in co-operation", I couldn't agree with you more. Unfortuntely, as a consumer making a purchase, one of the first things we often ignore/cannot understand are terms and conditions - where's the common sense in that? Quite rightly, a retailer must...

Tom, I think confusion has arose between the return of defective & non-defective goods. Copied from BERR (Business Enterprise & Regulatory Reform), Distance Selling,FAQs:- "Q4. Do I have to pay to return the goods? The business is not entitled to charge for recovery of the goods if...

Postal Charges I referred to the return of defective bikes within the statutory guarantee period This is one of the reasons why buyers are often asked to use local bike shops for repairs and then refunded the repair costs.

Postage Costs Not necessarily so. Under the Sale of Goods Act, there is a guarantee period within which the buyer is entitled to all defect repair costs including postage.

Agattu Handlebar Change

At a similar set of bike equipement recently on sale at Lidl's, I bought a £2.99 cycle computer. It matches my £20 Cateye brilliantly. However, since the warmer weather, the display goes to pot, the battery then has to be removed/replaced (not renewed), the computer has to be reset and all data...

Harry, I'm a bit confused. Your previous posts suggest that on changing your sprocket, initially you had problems refitting the hub operating mechanism and when that was resolved, you then could not get 6/7 gears. Are you now saying that for a short while after this work your gears were ok and...
