    Thanks in advance

    Used them twice so far, both orders in around €100-€200. Stuff arrived promptly, in good nick, so no complaint. Also found the prices very competitive on the items I bought. Given the recent CRC credit card fraud, one big concern is that they don't handle PayPal.

    thhink you'll find plenty of people have used bike24 i have bought tyres off them as they were cheaper than anywhere else - you have to watch the shipping costs (here http://www.bike24.com/shipping.html)

    i got charged the standard 10 quid not had any big items off them so dont know about that
    stuff arrived pretty quickly as well

    Bought wheels tryes tubes cassette and some other stuff off them, and pretty prompt delivery and no problems. They do have a delivery charge which you only find out late in the order, but it only becomes an issue if your order is small.

    Bike24 are very good. Ordered a few things off them and prices were great and delivery was top notch - DHL. CRC have gone to the bottem of my list after the credit card fiasco, long delivery times and their new increased prices.

    I've used them for wheels and forks and other bigger stuff (I find the shipping charge eats up the savings on smaller items)

    Fairly prompt delivery, no issues.
