Re:

have to own up to being embarrased every time I bought from CRC rather than LBS. But the prices,service was just too good!

Prices have drifted up this year.

Good side of this sad news is my 100% return to LBS!!!!

It's the exchange rate.

You think bike parts are bad, wait until it happens to bread!

Re:

you are right, but prices moved before the brexit crash of sterling. its simp!y step two of the Wiggle plan to increase profit now they have taken out a major competitor.

Is this why SRAM seems to have completely disappeared off of both companies' websites?

Not that it's going to be much comfort to anybody but there are some cracking deals to be had here in the Land Downunder ordering stuff off of UK mail order websites at the moment.

For the first time ever, I'm tempted to emigrate.

Never had any issues with CRC and generally ordered from them above Wiggle for the reasons already outlined. That said, Wiggle did stick in Haribo so I hope they chuck in a few more bags with this merger ;-)

Re: Re:

The whole Wiggle/CRC saga just gets better and better if this is to be believed - https://cyclingindustry.news/wigglecrc- ... suppliers/

I guess between them and Evans they have the market sewn up and can do as they please. Even worse than the supermarkets and their suppliers, at least there are a few more supermarkets to supply.
