Just get a decent quality gauge, never trust the servo gauges ;)

ah that kind of adapter, when you get new tyre fitted ask for them to be put in and pro's/cons etc, they will replace them easy at that stage for a few extra buks ;)

I would park the bike where you can easily see it and wack these priks with a big stick :lol:
Maybe in front of your work window, at least that might stop that being broken as long as ya dont swing and miss :lol:

Bike shops buy everything 95 times cheaper than what you can get it for and all conspire to have same prices, but if you catch them when their servers are down they cant contact the other bike shop you were going to to fix the price ;)

Not really, margins are Farkal.

Usual markup is 10% after their discount and is usually inline with suppliers list price either by agreement or by how much they buy no matter what or where you go unless its old stock, plus or minus local market and competitors factor of about 600% to -%5...haha I dont farkin know :lol:
