CWC - Bundle Specials Idea

[Boobear]

Certain things are cheaper @ the lbs but cwc beats most guys on there stuff but you can always ask your lbs for a price beat they will always love to keep you as a client as when cwc has a special don't think any lbs can match those prices my 2c

A shop on William Moffatt just has.Chain and cluster. Cheaper and no postage. But yes they do not support the hub. Time they woke up.

Where on William Moffat ?...I just end up going to Wayne Pfeiffer or at a push, Action Cycles. I

Rule #58

Support your local bike shop.

Never buy bikes, parts or accessories online. Going into your local shop, asking myriad inane

questions, tying up the staff’s time, then going online to buy is akin to sleeping with your best

friend’s wife, then having a beer with him after. Online is evil and will be the death of the bike shop.

If you do purchase parts online, be prepared to mount and maintain them yourself. If you enter a

shop with parts you have bought online and expect them to fit them, be prepared to be told to see

your online seller for fitting and warranty help.

He's talking about Cyclo Pro.

 

Flip, the "push" must be really bad if you had to go to AC... I haven't been there in YEARS.

The death of the LBS will be their own overly inflated prices. I am trying to find a cheap wheelset (by cheap I mean a decent rim with a Shimano cup and cone hub), what a laugh I am having at some of the prices and methods.

This one wants a ridiculous amount for a no name hub and rim , another one will only sell a front wheel and a back wheel, neither separate, another other one seems to think I need top of the range wheels and have a Ferrarri budget! And then they wonder why most of us will buy online. Its cheaper, easier, you can spec what you want (be it in price or technologies) and at the end of the day in most cases your own manner of wielding a spanner is probably as good as the LBS's mechanic!

Exactly. If you're been cycling for a while you'll know what you need, and a quick Google and a few forums will confirm or squash a purchase. And having worked at a LBS (shock, horrors), I NEEEEVER take my bike to LBS's, unless its something I really can't do like bleed brakes. I know what happens in the workshop. The full service usually involves brushing the k@k out of it with a parafin brush. No thanks.
