Title says it all. Spent £850 on a Boardman bike, which was so appallingly set up by Haflords staff, had to take it back to the store 3 times in the first week. It was last straw when the pedal came off when I was out on it, which was just plain dangerous. Turns out it had too many spacers on it,, which had completely wrecked the pedal, and the end nut had been cross threaded. Nice one Halfords, way to screw over what would have been a nice bike. Got a refund and I'm heading to my local bike shop, at least they know what they're doing. It's a crying shame, the Boardman Pro range is actually pretty good, but unfortunately Halfords just destroy them with their dangerously poor set ups.
