Staples, seems to becoming more of a rarity... tried getting a left hand brake lever, just a normal V-brake one, nothing fancy. 4 stores = none.Furry muff, but how shit is your bike shop? Shirley those things are staples.
Have tried to order a front 180mm brake mount, even with the Shimano product number: 2 stores were confused as to what it even was, 4days later CRC had it in my hand. The one store that went out of the way to look up the code, $50 for the mount. pass.
Thus why my shed now has pretty much anything I need, park wheel truing machine etc. a bearing press tool would be nice, and a BB reaming + disc facing tool.
