I buy off them fairly regularly. Stock is a bit limited at times, but most common items are ok.

let you google that for me
Are we talking about Wiggle or MTB Direct (or insert Mexican girl here)?

Could be why they canned the Dollars for Dirt program. Our club regularly go a few dollars off them with that.

It's being restructured apparently (probably over the next 5 years haha)

Same, was few and far between but the great 2022 fall out, sealed my future purchases with them.
Conti tyres for $159 each is tempting though
Online retailers trusted/scammers
I feel like I’ve been extorted with overseas mail orders, shipping prices have gone down.

When Auspost sends you a survey. Humoured my morning :p You obviously don’t like your family or friends if there’s some chance you’d recommend them!

It went down hill from the moment Wiggle bought CRC. They were in competition for years, CRC had good prices, great product range, you could call CRC on the phone and speak to a good honest Northern Irish bloke/girl and they could sort an order out over the phone.
Wiggle-CRC, online only and good luck reasoning with a pomme robot.
Wonder is Hope going to have a realignment, they used to be my go to for hubs, brakes, BB's, spacers... anything CNC'd. Recently got a bit up themselves with pricing, thinking they are Chris King or I9.

Used to spend 99% of my bike funds there when it was owned by the original owners but I don't think the dollar conversion rate or the geo-blocking has helped either. They took over bike24 when I had all the trouble with them as well.

+1, CRC was my go to for some time but it just got harder for the same reasons plus shipping costs increased and the thresholds for free shippimg where raised. I am still trying to figure out how AliExpress has bubbled up on my places to buy bike bits list

Simple stuff isnt it really. The expensive money will really get the unemployment that the Central Banks have been hoping happen to bring inflation down.

A private equity fund group ( Odyssey ) bought into MTB direct in 2021 so they might be shielded a bit from large credit debt.

We may well see the return of businesses that buy excess or bankrupt stock and then retail at great prices. This might have been how torpedo7 got their start.

The second hand market should also be tanking particularity if those that got into riding during covid are now realising that they don't really ride.
