I'm moving from Washington DC to Adelaide, South Australia next year. Are there any parts I should stock-up on prior to moving? Will my extra tubes and chains be worth their weight in gold?
Nah stuff like that is easy to some across for a few dollars, but complete bikes and any kind of boutique frames are going to set you back some dough in most cases. Parts such as brakes/forks etc are pretty pricey too. Consider yourself lucky really, a lot of these companies (fox, hayes, transition etc) are based in the US and don't have to go trough importers etc...
