Hello

Ive seen Wiggle.co.uk a few times, they seem reasonable- im looking for a Gold Sold Secure bike lock- the chain type, not a DLock.

Can anyone vouch for these guys? or recommend a decent site I can buy decent locs on the cheap from?

Thanks!

Daz

Have bought from them before with no trouble but they always seem to be quite expensive there compared to the likes of Merlin / Ribble / Slane Cycles / CRC etc

In terms of online bicycle equipment it's a bit like asking if anyone can vouch for Tesco's as a supermarket...

Why go for a chain it's a lot of cumbersome weight to cart around a high grade D-lock eg Abus would be just as good and be easier to mount on the bike for daily use...

Just a thought..

chain reaction cycles.

free delivery, stock almost everything under the sun.

ah thanks guys i'll check out your suggestions.

I have an ABUS DLock for the frame/back wheel, its fantastic- but im looking for another chain type lock to leave at work, so I can lock up my front tyres to the bike frame/bike rack!

Bought some shorts advertised as in stock. They billed my card straight away and then I never got my shorts. Rang them a week later and they told me they needed to get a store to post to the warehouse, where they could forward them to me, this would take around 2 weeks (3 weeks after making the order).

Never again.

Why can't you leave a d-lock at work? I'm sure plenty do.

[DarrenL]

I do, well I did...the Dlock at work was pretty old and the lock has now gone!- so i'm looking for a replacement for that!

I've ordered from them countless times - everything from bikes to accessories to clothing to supplements.

Never had a problem with them, and recently found them willing to go the extra mile so I got a new CX bike delivered in the tiny window I had between not being in the country and needing it for an event.

Also never had problems with wiggle nor for that matter CRC.

Definitely Wiggle? I'm pretty sure they're just an online retailer with all stock in their warehouse in Portsmouth and no stores.

I've used them loads of times and they've always been brilliant. Wiggle & CRC are the two I always go to first whenever I need anything for the bike.

Used Wiggle and CRC many times and never had any issues with either. Tend to favour Wiggle at the moment if the price is roughly the same as they tend to courier most parcels through City Link, even with the free delivery and process orders a bit faster than CRC.

Oh crap, was thinking Wiggle because I ordered from there the other day I had the problem at Evans

Wiggle are brilliant. Not the cheapest, but they seem to despatch so quickly as to be ridiculous. I also had a problem once with a delivery and they simply told me to keep the item they'd despatched in error, and that they'd send a replacement. They even sent an extra couple free to say sorry.

Sadly the item concerned was some inner tubes, rather than a Specialized Tarmac Pro SL...

I like Wiggle. The more you buy, the bigger the discount. Dangerous...

As for a lock, I got my streetcuffs from them, although I'm not sure they sell them anymore.

Agreed. Been very impressed with Wiggle. Normally price check against CRC though as they have had some bargains recently (XT chainsets for 130...)

1st choice: wiggle
2nd choice: bromley bike company

Incidentally. B&Q sell bike locks (albeit not with a large selection). Kryptonite and the like.

I've just reached platinum level discount so automatically get 15% off everything. The only problem is, I've bought so much in the past year to get up to platinum level, there's nothing I need.

I could become platinum in the next month. If not, I assume I go back to prole level. Or is it a rolling 365 days?
