Mountain Biking - Good mtb part sites?

Hey guys, I'm new to mountain bikes and i was hoping you all could direct me to some good sites online to buy quality parts for what you should pay.
I'm looking for something along the same quality as benscycle.net is for fixed gear/track
thanks!

Junkyard was right. A ten second Google search would have come up with all of those results.

It helped me realize you're a tool.

Pricepoint.com has some decent prices

MTBR.com will help you find some sources!

Here is a list I have on had and bought from before:
http://www.cambriabike.com/
http://www.beyondbikes.com/
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com
http://www.nashbar.com/index.cfm
http://www.performancebike.com/index.cfm
http://www.pricepoint.com/
http://webcyclery.com/home.php

All of those shops seems fine except Performance Bike which is a huge US store, great product, great price, but not customer friendly if you ever talk to them on the phone or need support.

There are also store which sells specific items:
(i.e.) http://www.aspirevelotech.com - Chris King


DID I MENTION EBAY? I HAVE BOUGHT 170+ BIKE RELATED ITEMS THROUGH EBAY FOR THE PASS FOUR YEARS!

I enjoyed it almost as much as I enjoy the fact that you wasted time commenting back on it. You'll find that you'll have more success in life learning how to solve your own problems. Just think, one day scelia won't be there to give you the answer!

We should just sticky this so it's here. Just keep all the helpful posts.

I'll recommend pricepoint, just ordered a new fork, and bb7's, cheapest price I could find on both items. I'll continue to do business with them.

I've also ordered from performancebike, but I only do so when they have coupons/free shipping.

Sorry, it's just so hard not to in this lycra.

Price Point is a good place. I've bought a few items off them already.
Bough a bike rack from Performance, no problems.

Pffft. I don't need lycra. I have no problem "exposing" myself with baggie shorts. The rolled up socks have nothing to do with anything, though.

To the OP: A search in this forum would have brought up countless threads like yours.

Depends on the item but, you may find stuff on Amazon.com

god you're exhausting, go outside and ride your bike.

Just can't help yourself, can ya? Maybe you should take your own advice?

speedgoat.com!

I can't. I'm busy researching cheap online retailers that sell bike gear for every sh!tbag that is too lazy to do it for themselves.

What this thread needs is for someone to provide a photoshopped image that is somewhat related to the topic, but annoying enough to the OP. Doug?

I buy parts for a living and it still amazes me that a 10sec google search can often turn up the part I want faster than anything else I know.

lol we all need to give ourselves a one person group hug

qbike.com

It indexes/searches all the online shops, and ebay too. Pretty useful for finding lowest prices or obscure items.

lol we all need to give ourselves a one person group hugTime to burst out in song . . .

"can we all just, get along now
we found something that we all have in common now
we can hold hands, do keg stands
water skiing sounds great to me now

Sail around the world and tell them all to keep singing it
la la la la la la
all we needs a harmony and we’ll convince the world to sing
la la la la la la
throw your arms around someone (throw your arms around someone)
maybe spread a little love
I know it sounds a little dumb (or maybe we’re a little drunk)
But all we need is some ice cream and a hug"

Someone mentioned qbike.com, so I'll mention BikeDex which provides similar services for free, but only uses retailers we've had positive buying experiences with on a personal level. Less ads, too ;)

i really feel 90% of you are missing the point that i asked for 'good mtb sites' not 'mtb sites' this was in an effort to filter out the google **** links to boil it down to the possibly more obscure sites google doesn't readily turn up.

thanks to those for the links posted thus far. they've been really helpful

If you go to MinorThreat Racing (http://www.aimcomm.com/users/dminor)and click on that old fart's Mountain Biking Links and scroll down to the Super Stores category, you will find links to most of the high-volume, major onlines there.

I'd say this is a staged shot, if I hadn't twice seen actual people doing it.

^^ Too true; there's a guy that walks his dog that way in a local sports complex parking lot who I see on the way to work every now and then.

Had you made this post before the one including the last 2 lines, folks might have been more willing to help.

I would argue that "good" is subjective and way too unspecific. By "good" do you mean it has a lot of XC gear or downhill gear? Maybe you mean it has a wide selection of gear in general. Or, maybe you mean that it provides great discounts. Or, maybe you are looking for excellent customer service? Possibly you want free shipping. Without a clear definition of what you feel is "good", it is very hard for the 90% of us who are "missing the point" to steer you in the right direction. In my opinion, Google is a "good" place to start as it will give you a number of responses. Maybe had you taken my advice and come back with a list of sites, the 90% would have helped you sort through and given you some feedback on positive and negative experiences. Instead, you chose to be an assh0le. In return, you've gotten assh0le comments. Big surprise? I don't think so.

Big surprise? No
Big laughs? Oh yes.
