My LBS which is always the highest for anything sells Garmin products at MSRP because they told me they had to. Believe me, if they could mark Garmin products up, they would. So, not only do Garmin prices seem to be protected on the low side but evidently on the high side, too.

Dremel tool delivered. Bearings for my gearbox. Replacement Spur gear. I'm all ready to do some RC tech tonight, lord help me.
Gotta pick up some discs for disc golf.
I think I was supposed to get an oil change and a hair cut somewhere in there, but gotta keep the priorities right.

I've never seen a deal on SRAM, ever. I figure it was because they were a US company.
I tried to order a gamin watch internationally a while back, but no dice then either.
Bad news about SIDI. Ribble is where I got my MTB shoes cheap after paying full price locally for the road versions.

Up until last fall, you could get good deals on SRAM from all the UK shops but no more.

First off, I'm a huge Sagan fan and I want to make that perfectly clear. But...
He missed the crucial split and then had to take chances to get to the lead group and one of those chances was to try to ride the leeward gutter.
He had a whole road to ride in and he took a chance and lost. Cycling fans have been causing wrecks for decades and he is well aware of it, I'm sure.

I was rummaging around in a box this afternoon for a triple front derailleur. I mention this because I polished it with my Dremel tool before installing.

Yeah, I knew where you were going with it. I was just piling on for the sake of that "Z" guy.

Trade barriers. Soon you will be completely isolated. No more avocados even.

It was claimed that there's no difference, but I've still not seen the science.
Would be a good question for Mythbusters (if that's still a thing).
