Depends on the items I'm looking for. For tires I often go to PBK, but don't be in a hurry. Tubes, cassettes, sunglasses, lights and other consumables I'll go to Nashbar/Performance Bike, Competitive Cyclist, Niagara, Colorado Cyclist, Westernbikeworks, Amazon, etc. I also support the local bike shop for certain items and maintenance. For bibs, jerseys, gloves, I'm a Voler fan and lean towards their high end wear.

eBay mostly, Performance Bike and Jenson USA are great.. excellent customer service. I do not like Chain Reaction Cycles, only my second time ordering and their customer service sucks.

It used to be one of three, now it's three of four. I'm not averse to paying my fair share. bike parts are only subject to hst and a nominal $5 processing charge. Clothing is subject to additional duty.
It's still cheaper than local.

Amazon, eBay. Performance and Nashbar is owned by the same company. So as Backcountry,Chainlove, CompetitiveCyclist. TheClymb has good deals but I like ChainLove the best!

I've bought quite a bit of stuff from CRC in the UK. The first order came in two weeks. Subsequent orders have come in as little as four days. Gotta love the prices there. Their components are cheaper than some sellers are asking on Kijiji.
Probikekit was quite slow. They took almost three weeks for my first order.

Didn't realize those were the same. I did find theclymb the other day. Saw some good deals. Appreciate all the responses, I'm surprised by how many of the websites listed I haven't come across yet. Though I love to support the local bike shop, I love getting decent gear in the correct size even more. Looks like I'll be checking out some new sites soon!

#1 rule for me is now, don't support my LBS for accessories and parts or service. Better products for less online, F them if they don't want to adapt to the changes in how people shop.
Thanks for that, will keep those in mind.

The music, watching some dude sweat and ends with a closeup of his ass crouched over. Looks like he's prepared for something else, not cycling.
S5 - ASSOS of Switzerland
Game changer? ROFLMAO Only game changer I saw was the next level in close filming of asses. Close ups of chamoise making the riders look like they just took 5 pound dumps.

Hello forum, long time reader, first time poster. I have made 3 purchases with Chain Reaction over the past year and could not be happier. A full 105 groupset arrived at my door 9 days after I ordered with everything packaged very well. Second order for SiDi CX shoes came in 11 days and an excellently packaged Ultegra wheelset arrived in 6! I only got hit for taxes by customs once with the shoes so I saved the taxable amount from the other 2 orders of around $900. It's hit & miss. Just gotta be lucky I guess.

I found this cashback website ACTIVEJUNKY where you get additional discount cashback from some online bike retailers (Nashbar(6%),PerformanceBIke(2%),CompetitiveCyclist(11%),REI(6%),Backcountry(13%),TheClymb(11%), etc).
Just started using it last DEC 1 at SportsAuthority and UnderArmour. I wish I found about it earlier since I bought some stuff at Nashbar and TriVillage.
If you decide to sign up, please use my referral link ACTIVEJUNKY. I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Chain Reaction for Shimano stuff. Their pricing is at or near US wholesale prices. Ebay for a lot of stuff too...again you can find new parts st near US wholesale prices.

Mostly chainlove.com and theclymb.com. More of an opportunistic buying experience, but has worked well enough for me.....
