What are the bike parts websites you use?

[Globalti]

Okay so I've got the following in my favourites:

CRC
Wiggle
Parker International
Merlin Cycles
Ribble

I know there are others, can anybody give me some links? I'm after a cassette, a chain ring and maybe a Flite saddle if the price is right and I don't win any of three auctions going on Ebay right now.

Dave Harding Cyclesports are regular advertisers on eBay. I have used them three times now - always next day, always communicative ie: 'we have your order / we are posting it now' etc and of course, the price is right.
Depends what you need / want I suppose...
www.dhcyclesport.co.uk
I use your list too RR -Wiggle via the CTC.

Got my last cassette from Parker as I wanted to try the BBB range of compatibles and save a few squid, along with KMC chains - although 'saving money' is a euphemism for 'buying an extra bit because the first thing was cheaper than the most expensive you have seen it elsewhere...'

I use:
Chain Reaction Cycles
Wiggle
Winstanleys Bikes
AW Cycles
and on Ebay I use High on Bikes quite a lot, they also have an online store

Apart from buying things on ebay, I have also used http://oldbiketrader.co.uk/ but I'm usually after parts for old bikes.

Use Ribble/Parkers/CRC/Wiggle mainly but have used DHcyclesport and Highonbikes on Ebay. Wiggle seems to have gone downhill a bit.. certainly alot of stuff isnt in stock. Ribble seem to process my orders instantaneously as do CRC. Another quibble with Wiggle is S*ittylink couriers.. its cheaper and faster for me to use standard royal mail delivery than pay extra to have it delivered slower..(you can tell I'm waiting on something right now !!!) It got to Belfast at 11:30am yesterday morning...that last 80 miles is a killer.

I only ever use CRC or Wiggle. Lately however I've been checking out probikeit and ribble never ordered from them though.

I have used Dave Harding (eBay) and Ribble - both offer free postage over £50 odd quids worth of gear and are communicative and prompt.

Re the eBay auctions - Ok you will lose a few items but if you stick with it you should get what you are looking for at the right price.

Whatever one has the part cheapest.

Yes, the one and same Alf Webb!

I passed! Now got a C&G certificate as a bike mech!

But apart from fixing a puncture this morning, I've not done any repairs or fettling since I've been back in Norway!

All of the above and SJS Cycles are really good for finding those awkward little bits that no-one else seem to do.
