I was down at my LBS today, because one of my plastic pedals which came with my bike needed replacing (it lasted 3 years, which wasn't too bad going). So, brought myself a new set of alloy pedals, got the guys to change over my toe-clips & pump up the tyres a bit. They are a friendly sort down there & are always up for some bike-chat.

How about you?

  1. Last week new tires and tubes also ordered some fixed gear components.  Any thing over 150 i will buy online to save some coin but little things i will get through the lbs to make sure i still have a lbs i can go to.


  2. Took my beater into my LBS last week to cut the steerer tube on a new set of forks and fit new headset cups after an accident with a car which didn't indicate...

    I don't really buy anything from there as I purchase most stuff for my bike online.

    Lots of knowledgeable people there, but it seems wrong having bike shop staff with perfectly clean oil-free hands, lol

  3. About a week ago. Had to buy a new pair of bike shoes. The sole on the old ones broke in half. Also had to get some replacement SPD cleats.

    As with most bike shops, they are friendly and helpful.

  4. yesterday i needed to get bike gloves and tube and got some new shorts too

  5. Last week to buy some spare tubes and drool over their Cervelos.
