View Full Version : Vancouver shop for specific parts?

I'm in Vancouver for a few weeks and am looking to stock up on bits for my bikes I can't find at home. I'm specifically looking for a Surly Tuggnut, Powergrips, and pedals for use with Powergrips, and a 1W Planet Bike Blaze headlight. Does anyone know of one shop that might carry all of these?

My guess is I can find the Blaze at MEC (I'm picking up a bunch of other stuff there, too), but I have no idea where to look for a Tuggnut or Powergrips. Any ideas?

Also, does anyone know if there's a place in Vancouver that specializes in folding bikes? I'm particularly interested in Bromptons and Downtubes.

Thanks in advance!

Got the Blaze at MEC -- everyone seemed to be getting one. Bike Doctor across from MEC on Broadway said they carried Powergrips in the past, but don't have any in stock right now. No luck so far on the Tuggnut... I'd still appreciate any tips!

Thanks to some tips over at SS/FG, I picked up the Tuggnut and Power Grips at Dream Cycle on Commercial. Awesome shop!
