Hi, all:
I am new for bike NGs. I just got a new TREK 4300 Mtn. bike. I need to
order some parts (tools, cleaner,lube, cable luber, brushes etc.) for
maintenance. Would you please recommend some good mail order stores
offering good services and the lowest price. I much appreciate your input.

Get these from your local bike shop (LBS) too, or REI. You end up
even after s/h...

REI's always seemed expensive to me, but for little things it seems ok...

I tend to lean on Performance (www.performancebike.com for the newbie)
for about half the bike stuff I buy since they're both online and brick
and mortar. I tend to shop on the web and then go buy the stuff in the
store to get it faster and/or save on shipping.

I used to support the true "LBS" a little bit more, and also liked that
they were a Trek dealer. but due to the fact that they couldn't even
true a wheel without an 8-day turnaround the last time I went in, I
started to get a little annoyed. they're actually a small chain of bike
shops that shall remain nameless but hey they do plenty of business
without me buying tubes, lube, and other small stuff off them.
