I am not taking sides but conversions are a tough case. You can help someone with a fixed conversion but if something happens then the first person they are going to blame is the bike shop they went to. I am sure that it is a liability that many bike shops don't want to deal with. You are essentially converting a bike to something which is not its intended purpose.

Trackstar deals with track bikes. I think that is well established. If you are dealing with conversions, you should seek out bike shops who are willing to help you with such a task. Honestly, if I owned a bike shop, I would not deal with conversions unless I had a mechanic who has done conversions for several years prior on many different makes and models.

I am sorry to hear about your experience at Trackstar but if you know the part that you need and know how to work on your bike, then ordering the part online is a minor inconvenience.
