I can only find a few parts listed on the CW online service/parts store. Even an advanced search doesn't show the parts that I need or even a small fraction of the parts listed in the "CW_parts_list_manual.pdf."
I can find the screws for the z-truck rollers, but not the rollers themselves. If a person has to buy the screws, don't most users also have to buy the rollers too given the use of "permanent cement" with the screw?. I wanted to find out how much a z-truck replacement costs to evaluate my options, but saw no prices on the web site. My y-motor pack is also has a gurgling sound (if you can image that :rolleyes:) and would like to know how much to budget for that item.
Also, it would have been nice if I could have ordered a "12mm flat wrench" instead of going to three different bike shops before finding one (note, it's not a standard size anymore with today's bikes). Yea, I could have ordered one online somewhere else, but doesn't CW want all of our parts business?
It would also be nice to be able to order the chain lube w/ moly and other lubricants from the CW web site to help some of us less educated on these lubricants to correctly obtain the right stuff. I have been to a few hardware stores and still haven't found a chain lubricant that contains "moly."
So while I'm airing a little now, here's another question/angle on the parts access. Does Lowes or Ace Hardware sell CW parts? I noticed on the Lowes web site that they sell the carving bit, memory card, bit sets and a couple of other things, but are they going to sell other CW parts?
Any help is welcomed. Thanks.
