Hi, just wondered if someone could recommend me a good few bike shops (online) mainly for accessories, gloves, shorts that kind of thing. Only ever used wiggle and evans. Google has about a million results, but would be nice to be advised which are good, and which ones to avoid.
Thanks
Thanks

Merlin
Bike Outlet York
Wooly Hat Shop
For Other stuff:

There are more, but I can't be bothered listing them all.0 -
I use eBay quite a bit but before buying I always put the name of the eBay shop into this forum search facility. It's stopped me from a couple of unscrupulous sellers.0

The delivery service from Wiggle, is in my opinion absolutely superb!0

Wiggle have slipped a bit imho. They don't offer anything like the value they used to. CRC, Superstar and Merlin all offer much better value, and quicker delivery.0
-
If they have what you need Absolute Cycles on eBay give a great service. Ukbikeshop also a very good store. Reliable, usually competitve prices and only £1 delivery - usually next day.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.
So have CRCs security issues been sorted now, safe to order?0 -
The security issues were only with payments made directly on the site using cards, not PayPal.
And yes, they are now fixed.0 -
I use Paypal online as it's easier, don't need to dig out my credit card, never had any problems with CRC or anywhere else.I don't do smileys.

Bazaar think of Bike Outlet York as an online shop, they are my LBS..... I am going to have a look at their website!Why would I care about 150g of bike weight, I just ate 400g of cookies while reading this?0

Great mechanics too....Why would I care about 150g of bike weight, I just ate 400g of cookies while reading this?0
