Good Luck and have fun on your big bike trip.

I can understand them padding it a little for worst case scenario, these are SUPPOSED to be fully set up. correct bearings in, spacers all included, etc.

This is more in line with what I was thinking. I figured for under a hundred, it would be one less thing I had to do and would have piece of mind I didnt miss something and find out 1000 miles from home, lol.

I'm all for supporting the local guys, but just came in at over twice as much as I thought they'd say. Didnt know if it was a bigger job than I thought.

Thanks for the replies brothers.
