This is not my regular bike shop. I stopped in after my seat post failed and my bike became almost unridable. They did not have my exact replacement part in stock but they improvised and combined a quick release with a simple bolt to manufacture the bold on clamp I asked for. They did not even charge me for labor. I was in and out in 15 minutes. I am thankful to have such an accommodating shop so conveniently located. Incidentally, it is ridiculous to compare prices on the internet to prices in a local bike shop as other reviews have done. Of course the internet will be cheaper. They have virtually no overhead. But try sending your bike to Amazon, Performance or wherever when you need a repair. Sure I buy bike stuff online, but I make a point to patronize the local shops too. We would not be able to enjoy our sport / recreation / transportation mode without them.
