Online retailers

I'm about to rebuild a couple of bikes so will spend some time trawling the clearance sections of a few online retailers. Does anyone have any good recommendations? I have a few, some I knew, some found from Google. Wondering if there any lesser known sites that prove to be useful. Thanks.

So far I have:
Wiggle
CRC
Evans
Merlin
Tredz
Ribble
Decathlon
TheBikeFactory
JEJames
Global Bike
WinstanleyBikes
Some I've never heard of, but they came up I. Search results so made a note to check them out. There is obviously eBay as well.0 -
JEJames a friend of mine has had some bad experience of these so I've avoided them. I tend to use crc, merlin or ebay for bike parts.
Oh I've recently bought some new tyres from tweekscycles they were good and my order came quickly.
If your unsure of a site check them out on sites like trust pilot0 -
Can only speak as I find but bought 2 bikes of JE James and they have arrived quickly with no problems, never had a warranty claim so don't know about side of things.0

TweeksFelt F70 05 (Turbo)

Whatever you do avoid this lot

Look like a UK site, priced in Pounds, based in France, and totally rubbish.I don't do smileys.

Used all of those except TheBikeFactory and Global Bike. Never had any problems, but rarely do.
Use Paypal and even if they are a bit sh1t most things get sorted.I don't do smileys.

https://www.bike-discount.de worth a look too, just bought a new frame from them, £25 delivery, took just over a week to arrive but competitive prices.0

Not mainstream products but worth a look when you know what you want.
Ebay of course!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
Superstar kevlar brake pads are still the best IMHO, but now they are concentrating on making stuff, they don't have any in my (common) size.
Which is a bugger.I don't do smileys.
