text: I am not really happy with JTs Missouri mud and Colorados rocks and snow left my expensive mountain bike a bit of a mess Also the tires it had just do not hold up well to the thorns and sharp rocks of the Mojave desert so it was time to find a local bike shop that could make things better I picked JTs based on their location off I at Horizon Drive in Henderson and the fact that they offer extended evening hours on Thu and Fri were a plus nnI dropped my bike off on a Sunday and as they looked it over they recommended new tires right off the bat The new Kenda tires are good but it took JTs days to get them in from their vendor which in this day and age seems a bit excessive When I walked in to pick up my bike they went out the back door and wheeled it inand this seriously freaked me out While I have had the bike a few years it was a bike back then and it is still got value now and it was left chained up outside Yeah not happy about that at all After paying for the service work I loaded up the bike and headed home wondering how the bike would ridennSunday afternoon before sunset I took it over to the River Mountain Loop Trail to find out And to be honest I am not happy It has a new chain but it does not shift right I was told my top of the line Shimano rear cassette was going to need replaced in a year or so To be honest this is not my primary bike and it has not been ridden all that much If it is got miles on it I would be shocked and most of that would be on Katy Trail riding in Missouri or some short stints up in the Colorado Rockies on slow downhill single track descents while stopping to snap pix with a camera in hand So from the diminished ride quality to being told I may need to upgrade the rear cassette and that my brake pads would need replaced soonagain considering the usage I am thinking I might want to find another local bike shop for the next time I need service Specialized does not build junk I did not buy junk at the time this was their top of the line and for it to allegedly need all this service Yeahright And quite frankly my bike still is not where I would feel comfortable getting it out and going for a long ride I am just not happy with it And with the money I spentyeah I am beginning to think I might have got screwed and not in a good way either nnOh and it clicks under load now where it never did before And this is on pavement no less for the test ride AgainI am seriously NOT HAPPY
