Find a good LHS that will spend some time with you, try on a bunch of stuff, and fine out what works. No one can make any good recommendations based on that little bit of information.

rachael7 1 Report post Posted June 1, 2010 My nearest LHS is 90 minutes away too. And yet still, every time I order something online I end up wasting more money than if I had just made the drive and bought the right thing the first time. Learned that lesson enough times. Now I just wait until I have a free Saturday, make the drive, and enjoy the day at the shop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
