 DC |  Subject: Performance Bike Shops...Eh, have experienced disconnects between Performance corporate policy and individual store "policies." (Northern Virginia.) Feel bad because I recently recommended their bikes to a friend. His bike came in less than perfect and store policy was, "too bad." Corporate on the other, made it right. Anyone else have this experience? I ask b/c otherwise, Performance has really great products/deals. |

Master  2429   Falls Church, Virginia | Subject: RE: Performance Bike Shops... I'm in NoVa, and I agree with you. I go to Performance if I want to buy some single servings of fuels to test, and I bought my pedals there b/c it was for a good price. But I've had poor experiences both with trying to get my bike serviced there, and also just trying to learn more about bikes in general. Nobody wants to help! |

Thanks for sharing. |

Veteran 427 | Subject: RE: Performance Bike Shops... The bike tech at my local Performance recognizes my bike when I bring it in for tune. I don't seem to have any issues, but if I wanted have any serious work done (cabling, installation of RTC levers, etc.) I may consider taking it somewhere else. I do pop in once in a awhile like a previous poster and will check out new nutrition and stuff. Sometimes something on sale may also catch my eye. |

Won't ever go back. So interesting. How can a big corporation be so badly managed store to store.ANY bike shop ought to be kissing our butts for the amount of money we pay. |
