Retailers
ProBikeKit.com |
No longer offering free shipping with no minimum spend, but some good deals available once in a while |
Chain Reaction Cycles |
The most selection, but not usually the cheapest, unless they are on clearance.
Their shipping is impressively fast, and once in a while, there are no minimum spend free shipping promotions, for those low value parts. |
Wiggle |
Similar deal to Chain Reaction. Their house brand DHB offers good value for money. |
Mountain Equipment Co-op |
Best selection of outdoor sport equipment of any Canadian retailer, with good return/exchange policy |
Running Room |
Running Room stores for hanging out and weekly group runs; Running Room Outlet for discounted previous model year merchandise |
