Spent £32 last week on replacing all the inner tubes on my Urban detour buggy. The day after the tubes were replaced one of the tyres was flat as a pancake again. I was not impressed but i took the wheel back to the shop (incurring train fare). The spotty teen took it away and I was presented with a fully inflated tyre 5 mins later.
I took it away put it back on the buggy and used the buggy today - we walked to the next village (50 mins away). Went to the shops and park etc. On the way home the tyre completely flat again!!! This time i am stranded 50 min away from home with buggy, shopping, 2yo and 1yo (ds on buggy board). Next to a busy A road which the buggy kept veering dangerously close to as the pavement is so friggin narrow!!! Arrggghhh....
So had to flag down passing local he helped me get taxi no. and I had to pay £7 to get home.
I am soooooo annoyed it was bloody dangerous today I could have lost control of the buggy. As it is I am out of pocket and still without a usable buggy. Is is unreasonable of me to consider asking for compensation from the bike shop? When I took the wheel back they should have replaced the innertube - I think the re-inflated the dodgy one!
