I used to buy some things from Performance but the issue I had there is the advice you get all depends on who is working that day.

I don't know that I will buy from Performance any more since Higher Gear in Highland Park has helped me out so much. I currently have a set of speedplay pedals and cleats that belong to John Olin the owner. He is trying to help me resolve some knee problems and gave me some pedals to try out. He said if speedplay's don't help, well try another platform next, all at no cost until I decide which pedals I like. John Olin has earned himself a life long customer. I will never buy another bike from any other shop and with three kids and wife who is just getting into cycling, that could be a number of bikes over the next 10 years.
