Ortlieb products no longer available from Wiggle
I happened to notice on Wiggle last week that their usual fine stock of Ortlieb products had suddenly disappeared. I received an email response to my question about this stating that Wiggle is no longer able to ship Ortlieb to Australia for "... legal reasons... " They are still selling Ortlieb within the UK, so it would be possible to re-direct them with a 3PL.
If anyone happens to come across the next best priced store for Ortlieb products please share this on the forum (that doesn't involve a 3PL).

Chain Reaction Cycles is the Northern Ireland Post Office's biggest customer.
I'm not surprised!
How the bike industry works
Reposting from my nobmob blog as I think this deserves to get a wider airing.
This is an interesting Wordpress article series I came across yesterday surfing from site bicycles.net.au. From what I read here it looks to me like the current phase of structural adjustment in the bicycle market with the rise and rise of on-line selling seems to me to be in large part due to the bicycle manufacturing industry's own poor inventory management practices. It also confirms what many of us suspected about the supply chain.
Read on to see what I mean:
