im the same way about my LBS'S. there are 10 in my city. most of them are in a 5 block radius. which is really nice.

im looking at these pedals. i could either run clips and straps or just holdfast straps. my lbs has them in stock and they look really good and they are $50 out the door. these pedals are really light and thin.

We have a pair of those in our shop too, they're nice but i'd rather have MKS pedals.

I really want to try gr-9's! Thinking they'll prevent the line of doom.

that groove from sylvans? they do...

gr-9s are more comfy but sylvans are better for skidding i think

Yeah, the road pedals, the touring pedals and the track pedals all make the line.
