Fortunately I do my own wrenching, build my own bikes, and build my own wheels as well.
Looking for a hub at the local shop, $149 for the rear Ultegra hub alone (4 different shops same price).
Online, FRONT AND REAR, SAME HUBS $123 free shipping.
Big difference in price and the shop did not have the spokes I needed to build my wheel. They could order for me but I would have to buy 2 boxes in order to get what I need and have several leftovers for no reason.
I had to go online to buy the spokes I needed, individual spokes as well, I could buy a box and a few extras to equal the amount I needed. NOT TO MENTION, THE ONLINE SHOP TOSSED IN 3 EXTRA SPOKES AND NIPS NO EXTRA CHARGE!!!
