Yes I know, LBS - tried that. ๐Ÿ™‚

Used to use CRC or Wiggle but my last couple of orders from them have taken a little while. Anywhere consistently quick for delivery at the mo?

what are you ordering - will depend on stock as much as anything.

dot bike are always good - but check they have it in stock first - they publish a landline phone number.

Merlin
Tweeks cycles
UKBikestore
Evans

Pretty much everyone else is really slow - CRC seem to take ages, I'm sure they set the delivery status to 'dispatched' a day before posting; a lot of the recent orders have taken 3 or 4 days to arrive, but have been 'dispatched' the day after ordering - even though I've received other first class items the next day.

Cheers rickon

Front Post to Post for 183mm rotor
Rear IS to IS for 160mm rotor (I think)

Hadn't thought of doing a wanted post on here actually.

Going down a rotor size as my Formula the Ones are unnecessarily powerful!

Superstar components have always sent my orders same day, and their mount adaptors are as cheap as they come.

(sorry if this thread now descends into sea animal based nonsense)

Placed my first order with Tweeks last week.It too 2 days before they even despatched.

CRC normally pretty reliable,but having some very quick deliveries from the likes of Koo bikes and Absolute cycles via ebay in the last month.

Superstar is a good shout actually - normally very fast. I need it for a 183mm rotor though and they only have 180mm, is it going to matter?

If it does, just add 3mm of washers between the mount adaptor and the caliper.

Always get great service from high on bikes and pbk. Don't use wiggle or crc if I can help it now as prices and delivery not great.

Of the big ones I've used in the last couple of months, the current order of preference is Merlin > Wiggle > Evans > CRC

Used bike tart this week, next day and they gave me an hour window when it would arrive. Not bad for free delivery
