  • I stopped in there for some advice about directions and to have my chain checked - it had slipped off a few times the previous week - and while I was there I asked them to rotate my tires; with the weight of my saddlebags on the back end of the bike, the tread on the rear one was wearing down, but the store didn't carry the Schwalbes I'm riding on.
