Familiar with those thanks. Clicking through would be good but as Ron said they're not generally the first go to for touring related gear. Some I have used include Bike 24 and StarBike as well as SJS and others. It seems a new retailer pops up occasionally so it would be good to put it out there for others. I recall a French seller being mentioned on BNA but can't recall the name.KGB wrote:There is a few on the side of the forum pages - clicking through from here generates referrals and helps support the forums.

In the US, a couple of sites that are very good (with reasonable shipping):
The Touring Store
Jenson USA
Harris Cyclery

https://www.bike24.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; is one that provides an entire encrypted shopping session, easy to obtain shipping quote, and removes VAT at checkout. Too bad they were slower to process the order and shipping is slower otherwise they might get more business.
Google have recently said https sites will be a factor in their search rankings. http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot. ... ignal.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Perhaps they could also follow their own advice with that blog.

I can't get the links to change to my wording so if anyone wants to tidy it up or add to it then please do.

Thanks richbee, Looks like the main retailers plus some I've not used so will be useful to have them here.richbee wrote:St Johns Street Cycles (SJ Cycles)in the UK. Don't know if they deliver to Aus, but worth a try for touring stuff.

SJS have an excellent range of gear. Postage can be a deal breaker sometimes but not always. Starbike used to be good but it seems like their range is getting smaller of late.

Here is a list of German online shops that I recently posted on uk.rec.cycling:
Bike Palast
Bike Discount
Radsport Bornmann (cheap, but slow)
Some more links which also have english websites...
Action Sports
Bike24
Bikeparts Online
Bike Components
And then there are some of the bigger ones, yet just in German:
Boc24
Bruegelmann
Preiswerte Fahrradteile
Fahrrad.de
One of the best online shops for outdoor products also sells some bicycle
accessories:
Globetrotter
And these ones are nice if you are into vintage bicycles:
Classic Cycle
Velo Classic
see more at de-rec-fahrrad Haendlerliste
To translate technical terms, have a look at
ADFC Bictionary
As for UK shops, I only know Wiggle, Edinburg Bicycle Cooperative and Evans Cycles.

A German site that looks to have a good range. They were mentioned in another thread by RonK so perhaps RonK will be able to tell us more

Recently had a VDO mount break and they just sent me another one. Just sent them a photo. No mailing the old one back.
Can highly recommend them
