[Closed] STW killing off LBS's

To be honest, I think the Amazon link is there because Andi bought a mudguard from Amazon, rather than having it sent in by a distributor, which seems fair enough for that occasion. We don't normally feature products we've bought, in case folks think we're being unduly swayed by investing cash in the purchase, but these are crazy times and sometimes we have to break the rules.

TBF crud also sell their products direct ( https://www.crudproducts.com/crudcatcher_/ ) would we be complaining about a link to their page diddling poor old LBSs?

Most people can work Google, generally I'll compare a Google search to Amazon's results and buy the cheapest, my nearest bike shops are a Halfords or an Evans, whatever happens I'm more likely to be "hurting the little guy" with at least some of my buying decisions.

Edit: it's also worth noting Amazon currently want £22 for it, Crud are currently charging £35, just how keen are People to "support the underdog" ~60% more? for the same bit of plastic?

I'm not sure what you're implying.
Crud should make their cut whoever you buy it from, right? It's got their trademarked logo/brand on it...

As an upside, I now have mud guard that works nicey with a Manitou fork for £21.50.

Delivered today in the snow less than 24 hours after my beer based money squandering last night. I feel a little guilty but not that much.

Just that if it's Crud supplying them then they're presumably guilty of the same crime as STW  🙂

They’ll need to retain a top barista if it goes to court.

Halfway down page 2 and i'm still enjoying this one
