Best place in Boulder to buy parts and tools. They have (almost) everything. I try to "support local bike shops" but many other local shops don't stock unusual items, or sometimes even common items, but Excel usually has what you need in stock. Prices are great too.

5-star review to balance out all the insane 1-star reviews bike shops get because customers think their insane pandora's-box-of-a-passion-project is somehow a shops responsbility.
