Bike at the LBS for Service - Now What?

You’re not going to lose fitness. It’s 3 days off the bike, you’ll be fine.

Former mechanic here and I appreciate your appreciation for the craft. SOOO many crazy “standards” makes it hard for even experts to know and stock everything. Hope they get you back quickly!

You could also ask them if you can have the bike back with the old BB until the new one arrives (assuming the old one isn’t completely gone).

make this your rest week, and next time bring them a 6 pack of beer. It would be done within 24h and the relationship will help you down the road.

Although with press fit being the “in” thing these days, the tooling makes this less attractive.

What @brendanhousler said. Swap the week around, get your bike, drop off beer/coffee/lacroix, get back to training.

Use your downtime wisely and sell some stuff to buy a second bike.

I know it’s been said, but this is what N + 1 is for. I’m currently at N + 1 = 6. :crazy_face:

When bike repairs get in the way of cycling, it’s a clear sign that you don’t have enough bikes.
