You can say that again, especially when asking about things relating to fg/ss. The first and last time I asked for a half link, the lbs guy told me they only make them for 1/8" chains. Then he went to look and came back with a 1/8" half link and told me he was wrong, they are only made for 3/32" chains...wtf.
This is the same guy, who when I asked for a 1/8" BMX chain for my track bike, came back at me with, "those don't work with 3-speeds", and then refused to sell me the chain.
