Brakes, chains, new,

[MrBreese]

Will need the above during this season for 3 of my bikes and my kids bike. Trying to find best deals. Local dealers are usually marked up beyond reason. I want to get some mail order prices then I'll check local.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Superbiketoystore.com, use my discount code: boos-0033 for an additional discount.

The only suggestion I'll offer is to simply ask your local dealer for a discount, you may be surprised I've developed a very good relationship with my local dealer and for the most part, I don't even shop around for prices. I use the internet to figure out exactly what I want and head to my dealer to order it. If you keep coming back, they may even raise your discount

Not my local stealership, MTR in Woonsocket. They won't discount anything, even for returning customers. Of course, I have never purchased a bike from them. That might make the difference.

As for online stores, indysuperbikes.com usually has decent deals on chains. I have een buying sprockets from sprocketspecialists.com, because I buy steel front and back. You can get a set fir under $70, shipped. They also sell aluminum sprockets.

Any good dealership knows that you must treat customers right in order to earn their business. I know that there are dealerships that don't, but I think that those are the dealerships that will not make it through the current economic climate. Give your local dealership a shot at earning your business.

Keep in mind that it's tough for dealerships to compete with online prices. Heck, I work at a dealership and sometimes there are online deals that I can't even touch with my discount. Even before working at a dealership, I have been of the mindset that if the local dealership pricing is close to internet prices, I go with the local dealership. To me it's worth it to give my hard earned cash to a local establishment rather than a faceless internet source.
