Why would I go to a local bike shop instead of buying parts online? Ideally, because they can give you good advice, help you get the right parts, and offer help and service. And hopefully because they stock the parts you want, but they never ever do.
All I want is a 15t sprocket for my Husky. Local bike shop ordered me one two weeks ago. Went to pick it up a week later and it's the wrong part - it's for a BMW and has a totally different spline count. Brought it back to them, and they ordered another. I gave them the exact JT part number I need (or equivalent). A week later I go to pick up the new one, and they've re-ordered the same damn part.
I went to the local KTM and just asked them for a 15t sprocket for a KTM 690 SMC because it's the same part. Dumb and Dumber at the counter spent the next 10 minutes pacing between the parts cupboard and the computer trying to figure out if the sprocket in stock was right for the 690 (a bike they sell and have sitting on the floor in the shop). They eventually came to the conclusion that it's not the right part, but they can order it. The shopkeep was bewildered when I declined and told him I don't trust shops to order the right parts.
How is this so hard?
