Andrew, only now 2 sort of bike shops here, so don't bother, but what you're saying about shops, what the employees ride/use and then sell different shit because it's what's being pushed, is why I don't bother with most brick and mortar shops, as it's either that or the employees know less than I did when I had only been into MTBing less than a year and are of no help - you pay the "premium" to get the knowledge etc from the staff, if not there's no value there, could as well just go online and buy cheaper and do your own research.
