CC does it right. A shame on the kit, but they don't mess around. The same goes for Excel.

Not sure whether I should do the shock myself. LBS says $30 labor, and probably $25 parts.
Amazon says $33 parts, $21 bushing tool, and then $7 fluid. But then I'd have a new tool... |

So there was one casualty from my EPIC crash the other day. Tore broke the buckle on my SIDI's. It's a shame the buckles are so expensive on amazon ($25) that I had to get them from competitive cyclist ($12) and then add another $38 of stuff on been-meaning-to-get to my cart to get the free shipping.
Also, I think maybe my rear shock is leaking oil. That's not related to the crash, just time for a rebuild. Was major disappoint when CC didn't have the kit :( |

Well, my road shoes were fine, but the MTB version of the same shoe ain't fairing so well. First the cleat slipping thing, and now needs a buckle. This is from only ~100 hours usage. Granted I'm a megawatt maniac, but still...

They also had DA at extravagant prices but no Ultegra. Off to the internet and again, tons of X5 and the GX stuff but I wanted either X9 or X0, preferably X9. Not much luck if you want it quick. Most places cited two weeks which to me means they were drop shipping it from a supplier and didn't have it in stock. Same with the Shimano stuff. If a place had an Ultegra GS, they had a two week lead time or an extravagant price for some reason. I did finally find a decent priced one at a shop in Iowa and was going to order it when one of my local shops called and said they had a nib 105 GS, so I bought it. I admit it; I'm a snob. I don't usually stoop to 105 but I want it now. ;) Anyway, I checked Amazon, eBay and several mail-order places and most of them had some glitch like out of stock, long lead times, or even advertising X9s in 9 speed as 10 speed. I saw that several times. |

1. Their shipping sucks unless you pay extra. 2. My credit card was compromised on their site a few years ago and had to get a new card. Didn't even consider checking there. However, your point is well taken. You win. |

My 2004 vintage bike has an 8 speed cassette. I am not an early adopter of technology. I am hoping to get three more years out of it and then I will buy a new bike. Probably a 12 speed but maybe I will only have 1 chain ring to simplify things.

Wow, Photobucket has just essentially kicked out all the riffraff (like myself) that use their free site to post pictures. Bastids!
Now they are not allowing any image linking unless you sign up for paid membership, at least $100/yr. Pfffttt, that's not happening. |
