After spending big money on the recent bike service

It's a ripoff. I was shocked with my last one years ago (was $400 and I'm not even sure what they did). I just do it myself these days w/ the help of YT. Not for everyone but once you do it once it's easy.

They replaced the chain and rear sprocket, which makes sense since I've been towing a trailer. Its more that I took it in to get a specific thing fixed and they didn't do that, whilst charging me for everything else
