LOL. Oddly enough I had been looking for 27" knobbies myself and had searched for the Kendra tires earlier today. Accidentally ran across them looking for 26" semi-slicks on the BikePartsUSA site. (Odd huh?)
As for anti-LBS, there are a number of things I will gladly pay my lbs for - like replacing a headset on my 81 Schwinn so I don't have to deal with loose ball bearings any more. Local shops are nearly always going to have to have higher prices than online shops simply due to their overhead. When you're the customer you never like to realize that fact, but it's a fact none the less. If buying a couple of things for a buck or two more than I could get them online from time to time to keep the local shop around for when I do need service I can't do myself - I'll gladly do it.
-- wow, didn't mean to go off on a tangent like that.
