Hi guys,
As per the title
Free shipping from ChainReaction, no minimum spend
In most cases prices are in line with wiggle, and excellent service as well as quick shipping from UK
Good idea to stick something cheap and bulky to speed up delivery.
Excellent. Time to get some gels.

Quick shipping? Waited nearly an entire month for some things :P But I must admin, it was faster another time.
It took longer than the "Estimated delivery: 7-10 working days."?
Yes. Waited nearly a month.
*Excludes bikes :)
Needed a basic set of brake pads and 2 tubes
CRC $7 + $11 = $18
Wiggle $3.67 + $4.36 + $9 postage = $17.03
Same brands?
I ask as there is a massive variety in pads and some are truly awful.
If you want a real bargin on brake pads, take a look on aliexpress ;) http://www.aliexpress.com/item/bicycle-disc-brake-pads-for-A…
Yeah but those ones have asbestos :)
are you serious?
You can get 2 tubes from wiggle for $4.36?
How about a link?
Also give us links to the crc equivalents while you're at it
Can anyone recommend a decent bike seat? Not neccessarily from Chain Reaction either. I have a $99 mountain bike from BigW and ride about 20km most days, but the seat is killing me!
Go to a bike store and get your sit bones measured. Otherwise don't bother with recommendations.
Look up Selle SMP.
I've tried around 5 seats before finding it to be the most comfortable.
Can anyone recommend a decent pump? Ideally I'd get something that can move enough air that I can pump the tire on my motorcycle as well…
Cheers!
For MTB I'm using the $25 Airwave cheapie.
For road, I use a Lezyne Digital Shock pump which also does normal tyres.
I was looking at that cheapie… is it any good? Some of the reviewers complain about the lock/release mechanism and if that's really as bad as they make it out to be it would be annoying on the motorcycle since there's not a lot of room between the discs and the valve on the front rim.
I've had the cheapie for 2 years and still working.
It doesn't look like the best quality but it hasn't failed yet.
I've had a few pumps, any of the Lezyne floor pumps are my preference.
Only issue is that they don't have a duel head unless you dine one with the "Duel Valve Head", you need to undo and reverse the head for a non-presta valve for your moto tyre.
Nice, going to buy me some spare tubes :)
