$30 for boo bars. is it just me or has anyone else wanted to put wide bars on something random like resistace training bike, lawnmower or something along those lines?
as far as putting wide bars on something...really wanted to put some 780mm and moto brush gaurds on my road style commuter bike and take it down the sidewalks
I seriously do not care how many negative props i get.... but why is pinkbike presenting us with online deals instead of supporting you LBS. A true sense of "yeh buy from from your lbs.... pause not" As a way to balance out the two why can't they have deals from shops (maybe might be to hard) but just a thought. I support my local and will continue to do so - half the time i get prices that are only fractionally above online stores and I'm happy to pay that extra bit. Bring the onslaught of negative props.
They are presenting these deals because these companies are paying for a "sponsored news piece". They are trying to make it look like an article instead of just an ad
I think at this point in our technological world, we have to understand the internet gives us more options of products and more opportunities to find lower prices than our lbs. I think if you can find better stuff at better prices go for it. Lbs will have to come up with new ways to bring in customers if they are losing hella sales. I went to my lbs and asked for a thru axle adaptor for my roof rack. They didnt have one, so I went online and got a sick one that is lockable for about 60 bucks. Its too much of a hassle to tell your lbs to order specific products you want just so you can buy from them. I feel we need lbs to keep our wheels spinning but find the cheapest price for best product in my opinion. even if thats online.
Wow, a whole day before a rant like this appeared. Standards are slipping CRC did in fact start as a 'normal' bike shop but they just happened to have a business plan that didn't suck, and they didn't follow the herd. Like them or hate them, but you can't really argue with how they got to where they are today:
I broke my rear derailleur mid-day up at Sun Peaks and bought an x9 from the shop on the hill. Seeing that price and knowing what I paid so i could get the rest of the day in. I wonder, was it worth it? Absolutely!
I used to buy EVERYTHING from my LBS because all i was after was a mechanics job, but after changing their staff i realised it was all a waste of money. I agree on the "thank god for online stores!"
bought some of those intense tires a while back, haven't ridden them yet (they're going on a new wheelset I'm building) But they look like they'll do a good job, and the pricing is hard to argue with, since you can find them for about that price most of the time. PB needs to review them, what with them revamping their whole line from the ground up. No 8lb tires anymore, that's for sure.
My local shops suck...columbus ga.. ive had to ask 3 different people at once for a sram x7 shifter and they couldn't even tell me if they carried it..
Yeah, i know they can't all be good ones, just support one in your area if they actually make an effort to offer competitive prices and reliable labor. If not then click away, no point in supporting a shop that isn't trying to stay relevant.
