What would you expect this to cost for my 7-year old Scott carbon hardtail with XT?
New rotors, pads and brake bleed?
Maybe $180? Nope, try $281!! Yeah, the complete bike is probably only worth $800 on Craigslist these days.
Granted, I haven't purchased the tools nor learned how to bleed brakes but that price is bonkers. I really want to support the local shops because when you need them, you need them. The service prices are way too friggin' high though. I learned how to do all of my own wrenching up until hydraulic discs but I suppose i'll need to learn that as well. And cutting carbon steerer tubes. I bet they'd charge $30 to do that alone.
OK, rant over.
