In other words you're stuck with some backwards hillbilly mechanic that may or may not (most likely not) be able to fix your bike properly, and without side damages....but he's all you got, and he knows it, so he's jerking you around. Good luck with your situation, cause you're going to need LOTS of itHere's what I'd try....
Ask your parts supplier if they'd ship it to you if it were a $35 part. If so, have them mark it up appropriately.
or
Post a thread on the .org looking for someone who lives near your parts supplier who would be willing to pick up the part and ship it to you overnight, or however you prefer - for $30 - $60 (your time should be worth something to you). It seems we have a number of members who are unemployed or otherwise under some financial stress. This could be a win/win for everyone.
Sounds like you're experiencing what I label the "small town premium". Sure it's cheap to live there, but finding competent people to perform services for you, and getting things done in a timely fashion carries a price.
Good luck with your project.
Amen, that and prayer. lease:In other words you're stuck with some backwards hillbilly mechanic that may or may not (most likely not) be able to fix your bike properly, and without side damages....but he's all you got, and he knows it, so he's jerking you around.
