Hello everyone and welcome to Garage Chats. Some of you may know me as the inquisitive older lady in the Sales and Admin Department (S.A.D). In this special edition we are pleased to welcome our dear leader for an in-depth interview. Conducted via telephone. Shop Mum: Good day Hilton and thank you so much for taking part. Hilton Taylor: Who is this? SM: Let’s start with some easy questions before moving on to see what lies beneath, if anything. How would you describe what you do at Revolution Bikes? HT: I’m there 7 days a week so do everything. SM:...

Hello everyone and welcome to Garage Chats. Some of you may know me as the shy and quiet older lady in the Sales and Admin Department (S.A.D). In this time of lockdown I thought it would be nice to keep in touch with my lovely customers – I hope you are all well and missing me as much as I am missing you. Today I would like to discuss the state of your jockey wheels. I imagine they are grimy. Mine were. Why not give them a good going over today! This is where they are positioned on your bike:...
