Being in Canada, where are you getting your best deals? ProBikeKit? MEC? Your LBS? Other?

I get a discount from my local bike shop, which is awesome because my local bike shop doesn't pay me a very good wage.

i recently got some online from China. Lightinthebox. They don't have name brand stuff but for $25 for a jersey or shorts, its an awesome deal. They have some really colourful jerseys or matched sets. When it came I had to pay customs fees, but Lightinthebox paid me back for it. No issues and quick delivery. check it out.

I can get stuff at shop wholesale. It is a waste of time to even open the catalogues.

Personally, I buy a lot of stuff from ProBike, Chain reaction, etc. Bikes Direct has great deals on entire bikes, but this involves a cross-border trip to pick up. Which I guess can be combined with your regular trips to buy gas, cheese, and we'll, everything else.

I buy volume closeouts from local shops. The smaller shops love cash. Just love it.

I have become friends with a few of the bike shops here. They usually call me when they get good used parts that I need for my builds,

Chain Reaction usually has some good deals, but I am waiting on an order from April 6. Not happy with how the shipping has been. Which is nothing they can do, just compounds on problems before the pandemic. If your in Vancouver, you can also check out Dunbar Cycles, they have an online and lbs. TBS bike parts in out of Kelowna.
