Does anybody know of an LBS that deals with Cane Creek components? I need to replace a brake lever and I guess from there it's going to be bar taping and cable replacement too. Thanks.

I think that it's only a cafe.

Wow...you and VD have really good memories.

I know the shop and their service is pretty good.

I am looking at a full workover I think. Levers, bar tape, cabling/housing, and pads. Sheesh!

we must done alot of LBS hopping

Is looking "pro" a factor for u guys? I think i am moving to that direction.

Given limited resource, which should i do first? Service my 9mths old mtb, buy a MET helmet to replace aleoca one, or change to cleat system? (Looks ugly with running shoes)

Where can i possibly test cleats before buying? Will significantly add more weights to my already heavy mtb?

Going ape on you in a sec...

WT bleep do you care about what other people think? Are you some sort of woman in a misogynistic country such as Saudi Arabia?

Take no notice of them and ride off.
