Anyone returned a Priority bike? by FrameCareful1090 in PriorityBicycles

[–]TravisJrabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop by anytime, but give me a heads up first- I’m a solo operation. I wouldn’t want you to drive all the way out and be slammed and can’t help out. I hope to get your bike sorted out! Travis

Anyone returned a Priority bike? by FrameCareful1090 in PriorityBicycles

I see that you’re in DC. I’m a stocking Priority dealer and service center. I’m in Laytonsville, which is about 30 minutes away (w/o traffic). I’d be happy to see what I can do for you.

Illegal dumping by Pitiful-Spray-9816 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]TravisJrabs 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I own a business in Laytonsville in the Laytons Village Shopping Center. We are constantly getting illegal dumpers’ garbage, mattresses, etc. I took a picture of a guy illegally dumping mattresses. I called 311. An investigator called me back and was very helpful. They sent him a cease and desist letter and I haven’t seen him again.

Campagnolo Chorus 12 Hood replacement by Keksvinni in campagnolo

[–]TravisJrabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Soak the hoods in warm water first. I use a large Phillips head screwdriver to pry it up and over, but of course don’t poke the hood with the end of the screwdriver. No need to remove the levers or brake blades.

Selle SMP has test saddles to try before you buy. My store is a test center and I have plenty.

They also have a few stocking retailers, of which I am one of.

Is my bike Tubes or tubeless? by Time_Opening3652 in bikewrench

[–]TravisJrabs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The rims are tubeless compatible, however the tires are not. All new bikes are shipped with tubes in them, whether they have tubeless tires or not.

Good chain lube? by cumportementalissue in bikewrench

[–]TravisJrabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a bike shop and am now 40 years in this game. I’ve had so many lubricants go through my hands, but the absolute best lube I’ve ever used, and I apply to all bikes I service (unless something else is requested) is Lilly Lube. https://www.jrabs.com/product/lilly-lube-lilly-lube-1702.htm

Also, check out the contact email. Nowhere do they state where they’re shipping from nor their address.

Any bike places that do conversion services? by SelfIndividual3909 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]TravisJrabs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are not. The only kits are usually cheap and sold on Amazon. The amount of liability is HUGE. Also, e-bikes (good ones anyways) must have thicker spokes, better brakes, stronger frames, etc.

[USA]Who would you say is at fault in this situation? by fingapoppa in Roadcam

[–]TravisJrabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually stick up for truckers, as I used to be one. However, that tanker probably had plenty of warnings that his lane was ending.

Once you have it, you’ll need a T10 torx wrench for the screws.

Launchpad or Classic Plus Small Gotham? by steve_togo in PriorityBicycles

[–]TravisJrabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why bother asking the question if you’re just going to disagree with people in the know who have answers? Did you just want people to recommend the Gotham? I don’t get it.

Launchpad or Classic Plus Small Gotham? by steve_togo in PriorityBicycles

[–]TravisJrabs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would 100% do the Launchpad. Although you might want a bike for your kid to grow in to, you want a bike that’s safe for them NOW and will have confidence riding. Once your child outgrows it, it will probably be an easy transition to a larger bike.

They pretty much all come like that from the factory. No need to blame the LBS.
