Where do you buy your bicycle parts.
Up until now, I've always brought my general basic parts at the local
bike shop, and specialised gear at a shop that specialised in them(when it existed) or made accessories myself. I've recently been trying to buy some 27x1.25" tubes and tyres. Apparently these are dodo material as none of the local shops had any. Well I did get to 27x1.75" tubes, or so the label said, but they look like 26" to me, I also had nil luck web searching for a number of things and came away totally unimpressed on the range not carried. The situation seems to be the same for PC parts, those great list are just many shops flogging the same narrow range from a few suppliers. So, I'm wondering if it is time to just bite the bullet and go direct to the manufacturer through alibaba/alliexpress. |

They are mostly into fancy old stuff not average old stuff but things like odd sized tyres they know all about. Zebee |
