I just spoke with Joe at Sticks and Stones. He is offering a 10% discount on parts and accessories, including special orders, to all of the local club riders. Joe is willing to be pretty generous. If he knows your face from a few of the Tuesday night rides, you are eligible for this discount. That includes some really nice stuff like American Classic and Enve wheelsets. This summer, I have been working on repairing and upgrading several mountain bikes. Joe has come through with every part I have needed.
Today, I picked up a bottle of Schwalbe Easy Fit, a mounting fluid for tubeless tires which Joe tracked down for me. Early in the season, VeloNews published a rigorous study comparing the various chain lubes. The most effective option is to remove your chain and soak it in melted paraffin wax. Since that is not especially practical, you may want to consider the second rated product, Rock ‘n’ Roll Gold. http://www.rocklube.com/bicycle.htm Joe special ordered this for me and is stocking it in the shop. Several of us have used it with very good success.
