My stomach is telling me to wait until after supper for #2 however.
Operator: Duty = $17.73, Taxes =$17.43, Handling = $5.00.
Also. I'm want to buy some more tools. Beyond the little allen's and such, what would y'all suggest (Keith?). I'm thinking a lockring tool is probably a good investment, as well as better allen wrenches as opposed to the key-set I have now. What about a torque wrench? Oh, and a work stand too.. any recommendations/sources?
I'd just buy the tools when you need them. Also I went to the roadie shop up in Richmond Hill and surprise they actually had 7/32 bearings for a decent 20cents each! Wow.
You got gayed with the duties. Next time maybe do two seperate orders. The tax + handling I would've been prepared to pay but duties, man i'm going to firebomb the customs office (JOKE).
I've never needed a repair stand but you could go the DIY route and fashion one out of like pvc piping. There was a thread on some DIY stands here.
My folding rubino was surprisingly much easier to mount than the wire bead one I got from urbane. I do not like the excessive decalling for the label though. Makes me look a sponsored roadie (yuck).
