Nothing like a bit of alliteration however you spell it.
My montrail highlanders need replacing but er....yes....montrail have disgraced themselves by discontinuing
Can anyone recommend a shop in or near Sheff where I can try a range of pumps and get good advice?
Thanks
Try Stuart from Team Accelerate.Originally Posted by The Piglit
tell him I sent you
I get most of my kit from him.
Just an update on the shoe shop front
Accelerate are opening a shop in a week or so at
The Vault
Attercliffe Road
Attercliffe
Sheffiels
S9
It's on the corner of Baker Street
When fully opened it will have over 2,000sqft.
I've been to see Debs and Stu this morning and the shop is looking really good, they said you can still order off the internet or they are happy to deal with any one at the shop before the opening if you phone first 0114 2422569
Check out the website for the type of product they sell but most of the locals will know them from events that they attend. Accelerate also run an adventure racing team.
You can also get them on there other number 0845 8620276
Both Stu and Debs are members of Dark Peak Fell runners
good luck guys
Oh that's a bold move in today's retail market for a niche trader.
Will give them a visit - I hope they are going to be plugged on other forums!
Meanwhile mail ordered the last pair of size 9 Highlanders from elsewhere though there's always something you can spend your money on!

It is but they have there internet business running along side so they are not totally reliant on sales through the shop.
Absolutely. Compares favourably with CCC or whatever they are now called planning to open large numbers of new shops on borrowed money and when you try to crank up their website it doesn't work.
The smaller retailer in this market and the service they offer has been muscled off the pitch to a large extent by the big dogs like CCC and Blacks (ho hum) but the internet can give the more astute small retailer the chance to fight back at minimal cost.
Well that's tonight's analysis time to go home
Good luck to the new shop. I shall certainly pop down as soon as they are open.

or a stupid move
Whether something is stupid or bold depends on the end result!
Judgement is by its nature best deployed in retrospect and is thus always too late.
Well that's enough bogus philosophy..............

Good luck to them, I hope it works.
I discovered them a year or two back at a local event in the peak district and have come to trust their advice implicitly. I have tried all the alternatives in the sheffield/Nottingham area + many in the Lakes and generally have few complaints about most of them but have found that accelerate just have that bit extra fell running specific knowledge that gives them an edge.
Do what you like, like what you do
I use Keep on Running, in Attercliffe, good advice, not that cheap, but that's not to important.
