I don't know why the bicycle parts supply system in Canada is set up so that you either have to pay more for the item online or are forced to order through a LBS. I often just buy a item off my LBS just as kind of payback for the great and often free service and advice they give me. Still it bothers me that sometimes I am paying a lot more than I can find it online in the US.
