Lbs support
I try to manage my purchases and support the LBS that’s been around for decades, where I can, I buy on line, but i also over pay for some big ticket items from them because the community needs them... if none of us support the LBS then it will be gone. Yes I can figure out most things myself, but for example, for my first set of tubulars I needed their expertise, so I bought the tires from them and I am having them install them, if I do it and screw one up I’m out 75-100$... I think having a solid LBS is worth something, that being said if they couldn’t do the hard things for me I would feel differently.
