>>1080929Tips at an LBS aren't expected, but always appreciated. The time you really should tip is if the shop actually goes out of their way to do something extra for you, like working on your bike ahead of schedule, or doing extra, unplanned labor as part of a project without charging you.
>>1081040I've never heard anything about a reaction between lycra and deet.
>>1081142I've encountered those before, they're awful. If you want good period correct cantilevers, get some Shimano MC-60/62/70/M732s (Shimano made lots of little changes to the basic design over the years, but all of them work essentially the same, which is quite well), as pictured here.
