Bastards.

Yep, that pretty much sums up my thoughts on the subject. I may have sworn more.

Bastardly bastardish bastardy bastards.

Better?

Antm81

My thoughts too. Don't have a problem with wiggle but the lack of competition is bad news

Never dealt with Wiggle before always CRC.

Bigger buying power so maybe savings passed on to us.......or wishful thinking?

Chunkers1980

Wishful thinking I'd say. Bike parts deal is the gray market area as they are fighting the effective duopoly that are SRAM and Shimano

Well I will still use CRC, can't see much changing other than having a parent company.

Chunkers1980

That's just silly. I buy where is cheapest from all the UK reputable places down to the pence

Clockworkmark31

For the things I have bought CRC was the cheapest and always had everything in stock.

So just became my go to.

Hope that it makes the special discount codes offered by CRC a bit less obscure. But I agree that it will reduce competition.

Yep its going to reduce competition however, i have found great discounts other than CRC & Wiggle, e.g. Evans & Merlin etc...

Its still a complete Barrrrrrrrrrstarrrd though!
