walk in the shop and say "how about a discount for our club..?" That usually breaks the ice...
10% is usually the norm......or it is for us...0 -
^this usually works, but it helps if you already have a rapport and only aim for one shop, basically you're offering more trade in exchange for lower prices, not trying to price gouge your LBS!0

My problem is that all the LBS shops, 3 of them think that I’m one of their best customer and give me at least 10% without even asking, the other day in wheelbase for example £65 worth, charged £52. I’m obviously buying too much kit, if that’s possible.0

or you're just a lovely person so they give you good deals because you're nice!0

I managed to negotiate 10% off parts, clothes and accessories and 15% off bikes at my local LBS for our club. I'd been a regular customer for some time before asking though.“Training is like fighting with a gorilla. You don’t stop when you’re tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.”0

we get 10% of everything and 20% of Trek bikes at our LBS - no idea how they managed that but makes £20pa well worth it
