Does anyone know of any part stores online that are in Canada? I'd prefer to deal in CAD and not have to worry about duties etc.

The only one I know of is bikeroom.com... has anyone had any experience with them? Good or bad?

Try these guys out. I have ordered from them a bunch. The opening screen gives you a choice of US or Canadian dollars. I think they have a shop in canada and one right across the border in Niagra Falls. Avoid customs that way.

Thanks to all that replied.

I ended up ordering from bikeroom.com. They had some website problems the day after I ordered (I think they were trying to upgrade or something) and my order got held up for about a week and a half. They say they normally process in 48 hours. An email and a phone call to customer service were never returned, which is a bit disconcerting, the the order did eventually ship as ordered.

bikeroom.com

I've ordered there 4 or 5 times.. with problems every time ( like them charging me $800 for a set of odi lock-on grips, and another time sending me two extra nokian dh tubes with free shipping, LOL )

it was originally a mountain bike site called airbomb.com, but they had a bit of a run-in with credit card fraud, and changed the name to bikeroom. only recently have they started to sell road bike equipment


despite all of the problems with dave, it has worked out every time; the great deals are well worth it IMO
