Riding Apparel

Just in need of some riding pants, shirt, socks etc... Where abouts is the best place to buy stuff like this, not looking to spend a fortune too.

Thanks everyone.

Looking for a Giant Reign 1 for under $1k?

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

I'm pretty sure about once a month a forum thread goes along the lines of "... I'm think about buying a bike, should I ..." followed by followed by the original poster then saying "I can't afford a $2k/$3k/$4k etc bike"

Looks like someone has you in mind, with an apparently 'brand new' Giant Reign 1 going for under $1k on Gumtree: http://nsw.gumtree.com.au/c-Stuff-for-Sale-sport...

Fox Fluxx MTB helmet visor

So I managed to lose the visor from my Fox Fluxx MTB helmet over the weekend. Does anyone know if there is anywhere in Sydney I can buy a replacement? I've only found one site online who has it but they are a US company:

Any advise would be appreciated!

New Cannondale distributor?

I noticed today that there is now an Oz distributor back on the Cannondale US website. A couple of months ago, they seem to have disappeared. Additionally, the address has changed to Stanmore from Warriewood, and the name of the organisation is Cycling Sports Group, the same as the UK. The cannondale.com.au URL gets diverted off to some guy's blog.

Does this mean there's been a change in distributor?

Bike Shops vs Internet

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

It's a fact bike shops are losing business to the internet. Many of us on this site use the internet to buy cheap parts. If you read the local bike magazines the topic rears its head occasionally. If you talk to bike shop owners, the topic rears its head often. Can the 2 (internet and shops) coexist?

Buying gear online - great experience!

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Just wanted to call out the incredible customer service from cellbikes.com.au. I have no links to them other than being a customer. I searched everywhere for new "bite valve" for my Camelbak. Found it online at cellbikes.com.au - ordered 2 last night (Sunday) and have just had the package delivered to my door by courier less than 18 hours later.

I have bought quite a lot of odds and end from them over the years - never a stuff up or problems. Well done to them - keen to see if others have a similar experience with them.

Spare Part for Pedros Floor Pump help

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hi all, was wondering if some fantastic human being could help me... I have lost a small plastic screw cap thingy from the base of my Pedros floor pump (http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?M...) (it got knocked off whenm packed into the car or something). Now it is effectively useless as air just escapes through the open hole. Can anyone tell me where I could source spare Pedros parts? Or a bike shop in Sydney that stocks Pedros product to start with?
