So on the bike shops topic...is there a code to be a total d*ck to relative newbies? Guy at the shop says I "wrote down all the wrong numbers" for my tube. No, actually I wrote down every number listed on my Continentatl tire. grrr
My local shop is staffed with awesome guys. They not only helped me get the right bike, but every time I go in there they know just what I need. I am outside of their regular MTB/"serious business" racer guys, and as a carfree/commuter guy obviously have different needs. Not once have I been given a cold shoulder or mocked.
