I've never had to pay for it either though I've only ever used shops that know me well because of all the other stuff I buy from them.

Chain? I'd normally suggest going to the lbs too, but you might find you can't get anything heavier than the SRAAM PC1. The PC1 is an okay chain but you can get longer lasting chains such as the Miche Pista (from my personal experience, a very good chain) or the KMC K710 (often recommended, I have one but only with a few hundred kms on it) - much heavier duty chains. Your local track shop should be able to help with them though if you're ordering bits from a supplier and they sell chains as well, why not include a chain?

I'm not sure if there are any track specialist stores in Perth but thanks I'll give the local TBE a try, they should have some track parts, shouldn't they?
