Hi all, is there an American or Canadian version of CRC or Wiggle, Merlin etc? I'm looking for an E13 chain guide and wonder if I could have my American family send me one as a 'present'... assuming it's still possible for this to be cheaper !

Googling hasn't really returned an obvious mail order giant over there

I also used[url= http://www.nashbar.com ]Nashbar[/url]when I was living there. Good prices and delivery times (for the US) at least then and to me in New York.

Oddly I found it was sometimes cheaper to order from a UK supplier and pay international postage than to use a 'local' retailer.

Yep, I've been looking at this as well, for similar reasons. Jenson seems to be the main one for the states, and there's very little for Canada - even the number of LBSs doing mail order seems pretty limited.

http://www.performancebike.com/bikes/TopCategories_10052_10551_-1 is closer to Evans or Bikehut in being a broad church with mail order and chain of stores. They bought out Supergo which used to be the US equivalent of CRC ie market leader in cheap/OE stock.

www.speedgoat.com is a great outfit, local LBS knowledge and values and some good deals/prices.
