New elastomers for my old Rock Shox fork
Two CK fork crown race rings. The one I transferred from my suspension fork to my rigid fork got kinda trashed, so I figure I'd put new ones on both forks so I can swap forks easily.
Nashbar fork crown race setter tool and pedal wrench

;-) I know. I live about 15 miles from the US headquarters. I had so many questions and wanted to try them out on a bike first hand. I told her I didn't want the red cam and to my luck she hooked me up by taking a black cam off of a gold set they had dismantled. I also got the green swiss stop pads included in the deal.. She even installed them for me because I told her I was concerned about installing them incorrectly (since the have a reputation of being difficult to center) and then be disappointed in their product. She said bring my bike down and she would install. So I did! She was very detailed in installing and adjusting them for me. Got the bike home and took it around the block. They feel just like my algebra brake set. Only my uktegra set weighs in at 323g and these planet x weighed in at 193g! That's a huge weight savings!

Think if I gave 'em a call they could hook it up?

Possibly. I'd appreciate it if you didn't use me as an example though since its probably not something they want to do often.

I emailed them to find their location this morning and got a reply within 20 min. Reach out to them tomorrow and I'm sure they will get back to you quickly.

A new spoke and spoke nipple for my wife - she finally broke something on her bike. Aside from that a couple of cold-weather jerseys, some long cycling trousers for her, and a crank puller which it turned out I needn't have bought at all. Oh well...
