I just received another Path flyer on my car today. Is there any way to get on a mailing list or e-mail list to get these deals on a regular basis?

Ok off subject, but good shops like the path deserve credit where credit is do.I took my bike to Bannings to have a spoke replaced. Charged me 5.99$ plus tax. 99 cent for the spoke and 5 $ to true it. They said it was not out of true so they charged just the standard fee. Plus the adjusted my drive train free of charge after a test ride.Now that is great service.

I'm no where near the path (i'm near Pasadena) so my visits are pretty spread out, however since I do most of my shopping online, The Path is sort of considered my LBS
due to not liking the local stuff up here. After the demo/ride/raffle on Saturday, I was obviously in the neighborhood to visit a couple shops down there and The Path was first on the list. Reason being that I had bought a couple tires a couple months ago but never used them after reading the reviews, I wanted more of a XC tire. However, I had no receipt, but the tires were still packaged. I asked around Saturday and no one knew for sure if I could exchange them. So off to The Path I went. Short story even shorter, I was told they could probably pull my receipt if needed, but it never went that far, and I was able to exchange them no problem.  reasons why I like em: The handful of times i've been there I've never been pressured into buying anything, though I do anyway  . Later that day I realized I don't like that feeling when at a LBS, but that's another story. It's nice to be able to walk in and really be able to hold something and look at it before it hits the register. I haven't really had that experience anywhere else. To me it's not what they do, it's what they don't do that has me favoring them. The things lacking at the few other LBS i have gone to are what annoy me. I have yet to get that vibe at the path |

We technically open at 11am on saturdays......but I generally get there at 8am, coffee in hand. If you need to come in early I'd be more than happy to help you.
Also.....don't forget....our shop road ride leaves at 8am if that's your type of thing. B

Do you think you guys would have time to pull the crown race from my old fork, and put it on the new one while I'm there today? It's a King, and I don't want to do it my way and possibly jack it up. If it was for the value of it no biggie. Funny, with the Aheadsets, and Cane Creeks, I just wasn't as discerning with the way I installed/removed. But I give my King a little more respect.
Anywho, do ya have time?

So, I went to The Path today, picked up what I originaly planned on purchasing, and want to thank Tani and his crew. One of the guys took time to help with my wife in some test riding. It was great, he didn't just give her the bike and say have at it, he actually went outside while she rode around, made some suggestions, seat adjustments. Pulled another bike down, did the same thing. Took time with me to answer questions I had about front tire selection, and helped find the one I was looking for. He explained some of the shops policies. In all he prolly spent 45 minutes to an hour between the two us. All the while not trying to "high pressure sales" us. This was my second visit to The Path, and my experience(s) were great. Our next frame purchase(s) will most likely be here, I just wish they were closer. Saw the famous Dino Brown, he was his usual pleasant self, and introduced himself to my son, yeah he was pimpin' the IH while doing so, track stands and all..nice to have met you Dino.
