Look at Spa for those bitsAnyone know why practically everything bike related is out of stock? I mean not just bikes themselves for obvious reasons but more mundane things as well like chainrings, rims, chaintools... it's madness. On wiggle they have nothing.
I was browsing tyres yesterday and noticed some places were almost out of nearly everything. I think Ribble only had 3 varieties of Continental tyres and that was it! Presume it’s Covid related and factories will eventually catch up.I am glad I ordered a new tyre for my bike. They only have a few of the ones for my bike left.
My local Poundland has lots of brake cables and other cycling stuff in stock. Wickes should have as well.On Monday I queued for 20 min to get into my local bike shop EBC with others. I wanted three cables 2 brake 1 gear and a length of outer ,the shelves were quite empty of components and he had to get the parts from the workshop. "Been busy ?" He said it's been bonkers he has never seen so many people over these weeks .so I think it's supply and demand .Who could have predicted these peaks?

Looks like it’s the new toilet paper.
Thanks for sharing your experience - but I wasn't in any danger of experimenting.You ever tried wiping with a gear cable. It's like applying cheese wire
