Bike bug, Velogear, cycling deal, 99 bikes, flea bay, cycle station, pushys, there's a shop in WA that stocks a few but the name eludes me at the moment.
The XT bottom bracket I got yesterday came with a plastic reducer for the bb wrench. (luckily I bought a socket type). There's absolutely no need for that.

Good ol TBE. Should see their back end system, a big F U to AUS suppliers. Love it!The Bicycle Entrepreneur....like I posted above
Witchcraft I say!
Care to elaborate with non-industry speak?
System was synced to everything: both national + international. Was a brilliant retail system for smaller shops, just pricey.
They purchase from overseas, grey importing or whatever your favourite term is. If you visit their Belmont store, the will have a really good rant about Shimano Australia and their complete and utter fail at stocking anything in Australia. My last visit kinda triggered one of them

pressfit i reckon comes from some dick who wrecks the threads on his carbon frame, takes back to shoo & demands manufacturer warranty frame, when he just needed to take it carefully & screw it in straight..manufacturer gets worried about heaps of wrecked bb thread warranties, press fit silver 2 problem to bring in another
Non boost is only QR now? Dang, I better somehow convert my old DH, enduro, trail and XC bikes to boost
easy to do, a sydney telescope shop grey imported for years, sold more telescopes than prob all other shops, as the genuine stuff had a 100% markup on US prices, the manufacturer can’t take them to court as then they could b counter sued for running a monopoly with over-inflated pricing/price fixing collusion...an examplei had a mate who bout a telescope in the US, flew to pick it up & brought it back in luggage, was about 3k better off doing it this way, than buying local- scope was under 10k in Aus (just), less than half in US, about 3500US close to 5kAusd
no i meant genuine in from the aus distributor, the grey market stuff was identical,
I used to live in WA and buy from the Osborne Park and Belmont store. They don't grey import all their tyres, but they did mention they have gone around the local suppliers when they've not had stock (guy in the Belmont store, he mentioned they had a wizard with purchasing). "Not had stock" was a constant theme from both stores when trying to get parts from the local distributors. They even said they no longer get shitty with fitting parts from CRC and the like.
