Chain Reaction Cycles?
Can't Post
Has anyone had any dealings with Charin Reaction Cycles out of the UK? They have a shoe I am looking for in stock, but I am always learing of buying internationally.
Thanks for any input.

they are the only online shop i rate better than Probikekit.com.
I have bought loads of stuff from them. My friends have bought pricy stuff from them shipped to Singapore as well, so their international postage is reliable.

I've done business with them and I'm here in the US. No problems at all.

I've purchased from them at least twice. Couldn't tell that I was dealing with a foreign company. Shipment came about as fast as nashbar. Price on the items I bought was tremendous!
They're reputable. But I don't know what you'd be in for if you had to return something. The odds of needing an exchange on shoes is much higher than on a crank set for instance...so check in to their return policy as well as what your return shipping costs might be.

Well, I already know and have the shoe, I simply want more pairs. So, I think I'll order from the shop.

I have bought a lot of things from the guys at chain reaction and they are great. Fast, free delivery to the UK but, naturally I haven't had them deliver to the US. Based on my experiences I wouldn't expect any problems from them if they say they can do it.
FWIW, they are very well regarded on the UK mtb forums here.

You know what? On the somewhat big-ticket items I bought I had free shipping too! From Ireland to the US. Very nice.

They are the best on-line shop I know about. Not only is their pricing extremely competitive, they also carry an unusually wide selection (including some increasingly hard to find items, like Octalink BBs). I ordered from them 4 times, twice when living in the UK and twice to my US address. Both their shipping and customer service departments are first-rate. Go for it, by all means.

Cool, it makes me wonder why it has always been so expensive to get shipping here from the US.

I ordered some Sidis from them a few years ago... great deal on a color combo I liked better than the US version, and the VAT credit for being outside the UK/EU mostly offset the shipping cost, so it came out cheaper than buying them here in the States. Surprisingly fast, too.
