Title: Bicycle gear?
Post by: raydog on June 30, 2017, 03:26:18 PM: Curious where you guys buy your bike gear at. Trying to use my bike more this year for hunting and want to get it set up better. Im in need of tube, maybe a light and couple other things. Not looking for a place to buy spandex like those guys on the side of the highways! :chuckle:

You can always take them off when you get to your spot.
Buy at your local bike store or at Performancebike.com.

As far as bike shops...

These guys set me up right. They have a guy who can set up your bike for your size, getting your pedal stroke and posture correct for less fatigue and less chance of injury. I have a bad knee, they sized out my bike so the knee never fully extends or bends and I'm still in a good upright position, and it's helped me out a lot. I think it was about $100 to have them do everything, and was $$$ well spent to me.
