    Just a quick heads up and some props to Fairwheel Bikes , mainly high end roadie stuff(site is down for maintenence right now).:beer:
    Ordered me some seatpost shims a couple days ago and they arrived here today.

    Anyone that needs a 34.9/31.6 shim (ScottUSA bikes) and can not find them local try Fairwheel. They tend to sell out fast as well since USE and Scott are the only companies I have found to make an aluminim shim for a 34.9 post.

    Fairwheel are okay, i bought some weenie bobbins from them last year, but mostly the few items i'm interested in are seemingly always out of stock (Extralight MTB chainring bolts, CarbonTi headset cap & bolt) and now the website is down...

    better with the always chipper Giovanni Masi @

    I've used Fairwheel and they are a good shop. Jason the owner is a great guy and very knowledgeable. Their forum is loaded with good content albeit fairing to the roadie side.

    Website is back up.

    Agreed. FWB is easy to work with and puts a ton of effort into customer service. Jason is a stand-up guy and I would not hesitate to purchase anything from them.

    Of course their online store is focused to weight weenies ... not much "regular" stuff there. :)
