Fortunately, I have a pretty good lfs, but I have heard some bad advice from them at times. You really need to know a little about what you want and about the hobby yourself before dealing with one. Of course, there are some that will help you do it right while others are in it just for the money.
Imagine what would happen if you went to an automobile dealership and walked up the sales guy and said, "I want to drive and I don't know anything about cars. What would work best for me." You would probably leave in an Escalade that you paid about $5,000 over MSRP complete with 4 spare tires, a bicycle bell bolted to the top of the steering wheel, and the special just for you that only cost $999.99 to have an exorcism performed to keep all evil spirits out of the vehicle. The salesman ever performs this personally by walking around the vehicle backwards three times then placing his hands upon the hood and shouting, "Demons, Come OUT!".
You then go home and log into the automobiles buyers forum and post what a great deal you just received on your new Escalade. We all know what happens then:
Replies:
Shouldn't the biker bell be on the bottom of the steering wheel so it does not block your view?
I was never offered the exercism option. I'm going to complain.
You dumbass, I got 5 spare tires for that price.
And finally, don't worry about putting gas in it, tapwater will work just fine (Sorry, I could not help myself.)
