Seems to have a good range of stock, good prices and fast and reliable shipping. I've used them a good few times now. I think they are based at Biggin Hill Airport.
They used to be known as Woolly Hat Shop. I've used them for years and never had a problem.

Arghh……..I’ve used the Wooly Hat shop half a dozen times in their previous guise in that case. Riddle solved 😁

More disc brake pads. This set, semi metallic
Semi Metallic are my go to's. Usually from Disco Brakes.
They just don't squeal or wail in any conditions.

A pair of club shorts as my current ones that I use for track racing are gone. Apologies to anyone behind me on Tuesday's track races 
And a used set of Swissstop Gottherd wheels that I'll stick on a budget bike later this year.

That's brilliant info, I too have used wooly hat shop many times with zero issues.
I will add that to my relatively short list of sites I try now.
Good to see precious little mention of wiggle/crc/evans on this thread.

Cyclami electric pump and a spare hose/head for track pump. Neither arived yet so don't know if track pump hose will fit(I took a gamble for £5) and similarly the electic pump is an Ali Express bargain so again won't know but the anticipation is great!
Oh and one item which has arrived which is a Tyre Glider as I got fed up struggling with poxy plastic tyre levers. The Tyre Glider is brilliant by the way.

A 118mm bottom bracket in preparation for upgrading my old Brompton later this year, a Topeak Smarthead 'cos my track pump now seems only able to pump up Schrader, a bottle of Finish Line Wet and a spare Spokey.

A pair of Boardman overshoes for wet days, because my old wet weather overshoes are all torn & tattered. From Halfords for £20 delivered!
I looked at Ekoi as they had some interesting high-rise overshoes, but the postage from France was prohibitively expensive. Free post begins at £119 apparently. Also Planet X had some good-looking options but £25 plus £5 postage was not as good value.

I really like the look of a lot of the Ekoi stuff - so far I have a couple of jerseys, a helmet, and a pair of shoes, some 'Spain' Socks and in the sales they are to my mind excellent value. Also nice not to see a lot of it over here.
So far I have only had the items delivered to my parents in Spain, but am pretty sure a poster on here had had stuff delivered with no extra fees/admin costs etc.
