Hey guys, can I get some advice? On the weekend, I went to Urbane and bought all the parts I thought I needed for a SS conversion of my OCR2. Long story short, I get the cog on my freehub and notice the chain doesn't match to the teeth. So, I tear apart my old Ultegra 9spd cassette and stick the 15T on there; the bike now runs 50/15, whereas I wanted it to run 50/18. I went back to Urbane today and after standing around for 15min, some sales lady basically says I should be running a different chain and then tries to sell me said chain. Long story short, I just ordered a 17T 105 cog and got the hell out of there. What kind of shop am I dealing with here? So far, the only shops I've been a repeat customer at in Toronto are Curbside and Sweet Pete's, and both of those shops just have a really great vibe. How does Urbane compare to those shops, and how does it fit into the great scheme of Toronto shops?
