Some of you need to show your LBS a little more love. I got my rack mount free from my LBS guy. I bought the rack there and was going to take it home and install it and he said lets just put it on in the store. He and I put it on together in 1/4 the time it would have taken me alone and as I said, he threw in the blinky mount for nothing. The same LBS but a different employee that is higher up the management chain and I have an agreement. On bigger ticket items like tires, or cassettes, etc. I'll usually shop the mailorder sites. then I'll see what his LBS retails it for. I add the shipping charge to the mail order price and if it is lower than the LBS price we split the difference. I am way ahead with the LBS than if I used mailorder for everything.
