Thanks for editing spanky’s comment. I appreciate that. It’s not my fault that I work at a really nice upscale shop that stocks 68mm bbs!!

Enough arguing. We should all be on the same team.

Put donw the keyboard and go ride big wheels!

Peace

Yeah let’s call it quicks on this argument… plenty of room over at MTBR to argue this stuff. You wanna argue 29ers do it here… otherwise there are much better forums for it.

Years of travelling and living in small towns has proven to me factually that walmart has severe negative effect on communities. Not to mention what it’s done to American manufacuring. Statistics can be twisted to make things seem otherwise but in real life this is the case. I don’t shop there and neither do most people in the bicycle world. Have you ever tried riding your bike to walmart?…not a very bike friendly environment. If you love it so much why don’t you go work there? This dead horse has been beaten enough. Go ride your bike and have fun, down with right wing car culture!

Wal-mart is the biggest employer in alot of cities.Plus not to mention all of the money they give away to charities.What facts are you pointing to?Your entitled to your opinions but not your own facts.If so many people hate Wal-Mart.don’t Shop there and they will go out of business.Please enough of the socialist belly aching.Please tell me next that George Bush just poisoned your grandma and killed your pet bunny.

Selling online for most shops (excluding ones who can finally make a premium on vintage now to the hip) doesn’t make a ton of money. It’s a last effort to move product that would otherwise rot, it’s a way not to lose money. You’re absolutely right about that: to stay with the times or get left behind…you do that to stay alive because everybody else is doing it.

I just got admonished for being too political on here and ritefully so but you’re only half right on this. You and I are from different sides of the fence, I need to see a bit of your side and you need to see a bit of mine.

People buy a bigger motor vehicle so that when they smash into others the other car will get more smashed than theirs for “safety”. We get a flu shot so we won’t get sick but the viruses get stronger due to this and mutate into deadly ones and hey at least it’s not you getting sick but someday somebody you know gets the brunt of it. You’ll be sick over it then.

People need to be better to each other, that’s the bottom of the line. There are consequences to everything we do. We know when we do wrong. Keeping the money in your community is a positive thing. You can direct it accordingly within that, choosing the right shop. Free market works well that way but WalMart destroys communities and that’s a fact.
