I went to cycle gear in san diego last week looking for a new helmet and gloves. They have an entire wall of just helmets, so i think they'll have a good selection but they were all shoei. had maybe a total of 6 helmets that were other brands. I'm not the biggest fan of shoei my last helmet was one and it fell apart fairly quickly and it was way too expensive for what you got.
Asked if they had anything else in back, they didn't but said they could order in whatever i was looking for since i had the scorpion exo on my mind. I didn't really want to pull the trigger without trying it on first so i declined. Figured i'd look at gloves - they were all so expensive i didn't even try any on. The cheapest pair was something like $50 and they looked like cheap junk.
Went to fun bike center instead, they had the helmet i wanted in my size for the same price everyone had it for online, i was expecting a huge markup, and even some really nice gloves for $40. I only go to cycle gear for oil, i won't even bother looking at the other stuff again
The Kearny Mesa CG must have a better selection of stuff. I'll check it out.
