Evans isn't really my shop of choice. They've certainly got one of everything, but beyond that you're kind of scuppered, plus they keep nicking kaputnik's work on FB and the like. But sometimes needs must.
I'd rebuilt the Kaff last week, and the morning after was riding into town for lunch with a friend. I realised I'd left my cycling shoes in the car, so made do with normal shoes on the clipless pedals. I'd been toying with going back to flats on this bike anyway, it going back to true utilitarianism, and lunch was very near to Evans, so I popped in.
Being able to take your bike to the indoor Sheffield stand is a bonus. Found a decent set of pedals, went and paid. I asked (thinking this is exactly the type of place this won't work) if they had a pedal spanner I could borrow to change the pedals there and then. 'Not a problem' he replied, adding, 'Actually, do you want to give me those and I'll get rid of the packaging and get you some grease on the threads?' before checking I knew they had side-specific threads, and leaving me to it.
The ride home was much more comfy....
