Default Nope...employees of bike shops get a discount on their personal gear....

Some manufacturers try to prevent shop employees from buying a lot of the stuff at discount and selling it at full pop. Thus the limit on number of items allowed.

Default Right... and...

If you do put grease in there (not even thick grease!) it's tough to thin it out enough... I spent a lot of time flushing it with tri-flo.

They're doing okay now, tho'.

Default Nice, I'm getting a Ellsworth/Aeon ISIS SL come summer : )

Almost pulled the trigger at the end of the summer. I decided to go with wheels and springs for my car instead ; )
