Happy new year all! I need a few bits for 1 or 2 bikes at the moment, I need a new shimano cassette, probably 12 to 27 ish, and a new 34 tooth inner chainring... I was just wondering what people view as the main cycle retailers out there.the ones everyone checks for bargains. the following come to mind:
Wiggle
Crc
Merlin
Pro bike kit
Rose bikes
sjs
Je James
Cycle store
Tredz
Ribble
Evans
Cycle surgery

Have I missed any?I need a definitive list of sites to trawl when I need something

    I think you can add some more Germans (especially if you're looking for parts)

    Discountbikes.de

    And a few others, I think.

  • For bike clothes you can pick up some great bargains at www.discountcyclewear.co.uk. Terrible website but some really good stuff, really cheap! Even got some bib tights delivered personally when they accidentally sent me the wrong trousers.

    Wow - that's the worst ecommerce site I think I've seen in years - truly terrible - I couldn't find anything
