Unfortunately I don't support a LBS here in Baltimore. I have been in a few and haven't got that "feel good" feeling from any. So for the year I am here I am pretty much just ordering from the internet. I don't think it would be very respectful to go in and "try on a pair" then leave and order them. And I refuse to pay $20 more for something just to support a shop that doesn't make me feel very welcome.

Daaxix-The post stated that I am going to put on a brake. No offense taken though, I have had my chain come off when riding without a brake and it's not very fun. That is the reason I have a brake sitting next to the bike and am just waiting for my fenders now.
