*Attacks* RAWR, shat yourself didn't you. Very good point, it's just you can actually get the parts cheaper on the internet, it's so much easier aswell, maybe have your prices as cheap as some internet shops (or as cheap as the shop can go). I know my LBS, not Halfords, but 'Deens Garage' tend to charge quite a bit more for things, this annoys me so i go else where or to t'internet. What planetxpimp said, most LBS's only sell normal bike parts, downhill parts at best which are a feckin' rip off as they feel it's the downhillers only option, but it's not, most people have the internet these days so it's so much easier cheaper and faster.
