Wow so many responses but I'm still confused lol! So its either North or Central. Either way should be good right?

Whoah! Lots of responses. Thanks guys. And wow! Didnt know there is something going on between North and Central Jersey. So I guess I should enjoy both as I'm in the border? Thanks again guys. I'll make sure to try 6M Run for now. At least I got 2 options now. More than enough for a...

Thanks. I have to check it then. Is there a specific spot where I have to start? Like in LM where riders usually start near the lake. And also, am I part of central jersey? Lol I still really want to know that too:)

Hey guys. Its been a long time since I last visited and posted here. Riding season is on so I want to resume. I just moved to NJ when I first started riding and I always only rode Lewis Morris and just only the easiest path (green and blue?) repeatedly last yr. I always wonder what part...

Wow! You guys got strong legs! I am still dying even if I use 22 front and 34 rear:(

Even Wiki is confused. When you look at Central Jersey and North Jersey from wiki separately, they both show the Union County as part of each. But yes, I also thought it is part of Central. Maybe I am just looking for something to support my assumption. Thanks guys. Edit: I wrote North. I...

Lol. Thanks but I think you guys misunderstood my question. Sorry if I wasn't able to make it clear. I tried the wiki actually to check but it doesnt say or maybe I didnt see it whether it say that Elizabeth is part of North or South, etc. Reading within the threads in the forums, normally...

Hey guys. I dont know much yet about my place. I tried looking it up but cant really find a good answer. What part of NJ is Elizabeth? N, S, E, W, etc?:confused:

Yes that can be a problem if you see something online and you dont get a chance to see it personally and try it. But there are some instances that you already know what to buy and have tried it personally. So in my case, I am comparing 2 same items but only differs in price. Back to my...

Well, $200 is still $67 less than the 1st LBS' price. About 33.5%. May not be bad, maybe. Good point also sir! I didn't quote your whole post to save space:) But I appreciate you taking your time to write something worth reading. You're right, I think subjective is the right word. It...

Not sure if you're serious but is this supposed to answer my question?

Hey guys! I just want to repeat what I said earlier. I didn't create the thread to convince myself to buy from a LBS because my intention is really to buy from LBS. My question is about what is reasonable if there is even a way to quantify it. Honestly its a little unfair since we don't...

I'm going to see another LBS later today. I guess this is the best way to compare prices, LBS vs LBS.

Ok guys, I know you love your LBS. We should all do:) But let me give an example, say you have to buy a new crankset that is priced at $320 online for $450 in your LBS. Are you going to buy it from them? If not, what do you think is the reasonable price for that? That's an X.0 crankset btw.

Hey guys. Thanks again for all the responses. Like what I said in my last post on the 1st page, I understand majority of the reasons why LBS prices are higher. And I also understand the intangible benefits we riders can get from supporting our LBS. Someone asked about the name of the LBS...

Thank you guys for the replies. Everything you said is correct and I understand that online will always be cheaper for many reasons. And also I know what benefits (supports) I can get from getting things from LBS than buying online. I really want to establish a good relationship with an LBS...

Hi guys. I know LBS prices are higher than online stores due to really justifiable reasons. I am just wondering if there is an average or rule of thumb on how much in percentage will the LBS prices must fall into. I really want to find an LBS that gives reasonable pricing. Honestly, I...

Wow, didn't know that this thread goes on:) Are SI drivers really that bad? Lol! I normally go to SI by car and luckily didn't get to see "bad" drivers yet. Although, drivers there loves to blow their horns a lot. I am new to NJ, is there a ferry ride from somewhere near Elizabeth going to...

Hey guys. I thought this is a silly question but I just want to be sure. I am really new to MTB and all I had in highschool was a bmx. I am adjusting my front derailleur high and low last night and I mistakenly over-tighten the cable tension lock and broke the screw. For me it looks just...

Hey guys. Thanks for the reply. There are really no special reasons why I want to go to SI. I just have some friends there and I just thought if its ok to ride a bike going there. So I guess its not advisable anyway. Thanks again:)
