What both have in common = being Assos dealers.
But what CRC has that Wiggle not have: Wiggle not sell/send Assos to USA.
But UK companies have items that USA companies don't have; which make me do international shopping. ADD the prices.
Colonel Sanders did not say if he had any LBS/retailers price match the int'l sellers; as that be a long-shot such would happen for them to do.
Add that I got charged a customs fee less often via buying from Wiggle or CRC, than the other names.
I find myself using Bike24 and Rose more and more, and Chain Reaction, less and less.
Chain Reaction's range is diminishing rapidly and even allowing for the German sites/stores charging a fee of 20 Euro for delivery, I find that as I order a number of items with all my orders, that the Germans are still cheaper or they are the only ones that had what I wanted.
Not sure about the American situation, but as an Australian, they don't charge me any custom fees.
