 I loved the midgit boxxers ha ha

 Just ordered a set for my new ride cant wait!

 OMG it's sold out did you get one?!?!

 You know it, sweet it is too. I just finished putting cable rub patches on it (to keep it minty fresh) and realised it dont got any cables.

 Good thing Fanatik IS my lbs!

 I have a shirt that says that. I like that shirt.

 That's what I did last year. But after 3 months of waiting for a pair of Mavic Crossmax SX - never again.

 Sorry but I'm trying to support mu wallet

 ya i don't have a damn bike shop

 What if you don't have one?

 Going to put it on a Strider!

 Still worth it, bloody good hemets, the ol' T2

 are garbage...

 Christmas came early!!!

 ive put 4k miles+ of xc and am riding on my set and they seem to be just fine....convenient tubeless i love, and no problems yet

 Getting replacement spokes is like pulling teeth in Aus. We have some on sale here (29") for $330 AUD ...

cheaper to buy the whole wheelset than to buy a set of replacement spokes...Still I like the wheels...gonna smash the shit out of them though...

Those Havens...! Next.

 I've been riding some Iodine 2s for BMX and DJ on my hardtail and they have been good. I bought spare spokes and barrel nuts from CB direct and it was quick and reasonable price.

 ....two+ months later update: i now eat my words, because less than 2 weeks after posting that sentiment--the raised aluminum tab that holds the spoke(s) to the rim snapped (cracked/broke) on an average ride while cranking up a hill. lol. they were still under warranty, however, but i will certainly NEVER purchase again.

 Mine are still good. Motowipin DJs and BMX gate starts that snapped a halflink chain, broke 2 teeth off a steel cog and tore a Raceface chainring in half. CB Iodines still true! Got them cheap from Chain Reaction for 395. Defo worth it.

 thank you.

 please explain...

 I have bought tons of stuff from Jenson and they are great!

 The last 2 times I have gone to order something they have listed it as in stock when it was not. They usually wont even notify you and then just not ship it out. So you wait and wait and wait. Then when you contact them to find out whats going on and you get different answer from every person you speak too aka the run around. Friend just had the exact same experience. So no mas.

 I would, if they could compete on pricing.....

 Why should they compete on pricing when they have the product right in front of you? Plus, these online companies have deals with manufacturers to buy their over stock

 Most of the time they don't have the product, and have to order anyway. Besides, if they actually do have the item, why would I pay up to 50% more, if I can wait a week to get it. Jenson can ship a product in 2 days right to my door.

 Not about price. It's about value. Your LBS is more than likely sponsoring local race series, local riders, trail maintenance, jobs for your riding buddies, etc.
