Where do you shop?

So fellow cyclomaniacs, where do you do your cycling-related shopping?
I was going to get ready for these cold Irish days and buy a set of arms and leg warmers so I started googling for decent cycling shops around Ireland.

I found 2;
chainreactionscycles.com - decent prices, free delivery to Ireland, located in Belfast
cyclesuperstore.ie - located in Tallaght, but prices are hitting the roof! arm warmers start at 30 euro ...


So... are there any other good shops with decent prices that allow you to purchase online?

Here is a few suggestions ...used wiggle and wheelworx...

Although you local bike shop will normally do a deal if they are way of the price mark...

www.wheelworx.ie/ ... Shop is in Fonthill Retail Park, Lucan
http://www.slanecycles.com/ in Belfast not Meath !!
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/

Very nice collection of websites, thanks a lot!
Wiggle seems to be just what I was looking for, wide selection of warmers, very good prices.

wheelworx in fonthill ,lucan for me too
brilliant after sales service and not much dearer than some of the online stores when you use the discount card

I use my lbs, Carrick cycles. In the past I've used wiggle, crc (shop and net), CSS and Richies in Swords when I was local. I've had enough free little jobs done and advice from my local shop that I only use them now.
Might be using the net for my next bike ( Rose or Canyon topping the list at the moment) but I'll still give them a chance to get near what the web can offer on price

Anyone know of any good American sites (Im assuming its cheaper there??) - have a relative in NY and my Dad is heading over in a few weeks so can get the delivery straight to the NY address

I use CRC, Wiggle and Ebay, in fact i think i've bought the biggest majority of stuff on ebay. I got a Lusso Roubaix full bib winter tights from a seller in the UK for £18 posted from the UK. They were used a few time but in near perfect condition. Couldnt fault them and they're over £60 on wiggle so definite bargain!

For basic simple gear maybe for a starter like myself check out www.sportsdirect.com/cycling/
Seen the same stuff twice the price in local shops.

I buy on Wiggle and more recently CRC. Find Wiggles pricing changes wildly from day-to-day which annoys me, also CRC are based in Northern Ireland, so the postage is quicker I think. Bike24 are ok but have to pay for postage.

Try to buy in my LBS where I can. Last two tools I got were cheaper in my local shop than on CRC or wiggle.

Find a good one and support it.

Shop in your local bike shop or you'll soon find you don't have a local bike shop

I always find Wiggle more expensive.
