It's really surprising how many workers at Performance and other bike shops do not know much about older bikes and their parts,.
I recently asked about 144 BCD chainrings at a respectable bike shop and I got very puzzled stares......Uhhhmmm BCD?? what's that???........144???..........Oh,...you mean 130 right???...144???!!
Latex tubes???? who uses those????......
Next thing you know they won't even know what a crank puller is for, but I guess time marches on and you can't really blame them.
