I have a LBS I try to support. He's a good guy and can get me anything I want. However, he has to cater to the market of our area and has to order any of the higher end stuff I want or need. If I'm not in a hurry I'll order from him. There are a few high end bike shops over in Fort Wayne but I kind of quit using them. I went there some time ago to buy a tubeless set up but their prices were $15 higher than retail. That I do not care for. I take it to mean the shop is willing to screw the non-informed or new to cycling customer with inflated prices. I have no problem paying retail.
