Bike Parts - Best Online store

conrd

Good evening folks,

I bought a sweet road bike from Cycleways a couple of months back. The guys provided excellent service. I am now upgrading it a little bit (new pedals, clips and brakes), I am keen to get the guys to fit the parts, but after a quick search online it seems the web is the best place to get the new parts.

I have found a few good websites (Wheel & Sprocket, wriggle.co.uk) but I was wondering if anyone has any advice or tips on the best place to buy online, delivery time is not really an issue, I just want to get the best deal on quality parts, I am looking for mid-range gear, don't want to spend thousands, but don't want £9.99 Shoes.

Any help would be sweet, as I don't want to buy overpriced junk advertised as "super-saver deal price".

Thanks in advance,

Laters

There isn't an all-in-one cheaper place, you have to look around to find the best deal. You can use google.co.uk/products as well.

I hoped their was a thread set-up already, and I am still figuring out how to search properly.
Will get trawling this evening ;-)

thanks a million for the speedy response!

How much is it online compared to instore? Are you including the 10% discount cycleways give for customers who bought a bike?

...thanks for that, I thought that was only a once off...will price it all in, the fitting costs will probably make the store more competitive!

Thanks for taking the time

Afaik it's for life, they'll put you on the system, doesn't cover bikes or wheels though. I just though cuz I badgered them about a student discount 2 or 3 times and they set me up on the system

You also will get the extra attention for want of a better word in the shop if you buy from them. Can't beat good customer service in an lbs.

I was in my LBS on christmas week for a few things for myself & herself, total bill came to €225, I handed over 4 crispy 50's and the owner said thank you for your custom & happy christmas. Discounts are as good locally, you just have to ask or beg for them. By the way LBS is 70min round trip so the web for me would be a lot easier but if I can i try to shop local.

feck sake lads

Cycleways are very good mechanically but I prefer to fit pedals myself.

I've seen professional mechanics fit pedals with no grease/anti-seize and huge amounts of torque, which makes subsequent removal very difficult.
