wanna be clear, i was in there once picking up a tracknut and the guy noticed my headset was tight, took my bike in the back and fixed it, no charge. so i'm not trying to ***** out the store. just i was surprised this last time, and i also wanna stress the guy made a mistake and fixed it, and has always been cool. so don't let this turn into something that it isn't, at least on my part.

What a joke.

i can agree to some stuff being overpriced stuff but everything else is not true at all!
