    I'm about to buy a few parts for my new bike so I thought it might be interesting to compare some of the online bike shops and see how they compare.

    I am looking for the following parts

    - Set of Avid BB7 disc brakes
    - Ritchey Comp Press Fit Headset
    - Schwalbe Big Apple tires (26 x 2.35)
    - Truvativ Racing Team ISIS Single Chainset

    Here's the totals for each shop that I tried
    - wiggle.co.uk : €264.49 (approximation of sterling price)
    - bike-components.de : €242.25
    - chainreactioncycles.com : Was going pretty well until I realised they don't have any BB7's in stock at all and I've heard bad stories about them getting stuff back into stock.

    So there you go, those crazy Germans are the cheapest. The other advantage of them is they ship with DHL who I have had better experiences than parcelforce/gls (assume that's who wiggle send parcels with).

    Wiggle use DPD (part of interlink) and An Post.
