Small claims was suffient. Very easy to navigate the forms and submit. Cost me £110, good thing is that you clain in your local court so if it goes to court the defendant has to have representation in your court.. Cost to them are far higher and should result in a settlement

I strip sown and clean every Saturday, 300 miles max before I'm at 0.75 on the chain checker tool. Learned the hard way had to replace the cassette, front chain ring and chain after 609 miles. Get used to checking or it will cost you a fortune
