My one question is though why aren't you buying locally?

I usually do buy locally, but I am after a Shimano XT 9 speed cassette, my local shop wanted £72

On line £44 for the same cassette

with free postage

Now if it was 10% more in my local shop, I would pay this no problem, but that is not far off double

Chris, if you're after the M770 cassette, try Chain Reaction cycles

Yes thanks Phil there the same, well almost £43.99

But do you see what I'm saying, who the fook is going to pay £72

I know exactly what you're saying, I've tried half a dozen LBS's and most of them are a PITA. There's 2 that I quite like, but they're not exactly local LBS's

I wouldn't buy anything from my local bike shop, the owner has no interest in bikes other than a financial one, theirs loads of good bmx shops around that do good for the uk bmx scene sponsoring riders and events etc, the pricings fair, the advice is good, often rider run/owned, its these shops I want to support.

I used WS once, well tried to, to order a seatpost noone else had listed. |They didn't have it, but were very helpful, fella went and looked and called me straight back, so didnt thnk they were bad. But i prob wouldnt risk it again as loads of people seem to have had bad ex.
