I find Wiggle overpriced. If you get the discount for ordering > 100=20
UKP, they cost only slightly more than Parkers.

Got some extra free sweets though ...

What did you get? Last order I got from Wiggle came with these Xstals energy
sweet things that look like Viagra and seem to be an extra-concentrated dose
of caffeine and sugar. Quite weird.

I was going to say "You can have mine" but then remembered that I've just
chucked them out as I didn't want them. Sorry...

You are probably better off without them. If they sent you some you'd be
tempted to eat them which is Not Pleasant (tm). Even my tame sweet gobbler
(son no. 1) refused a second.

I find Wiggle with good price and service, but would of course like to know of
other good or even better alternatives. I tried http://www.parkers.co.uk/ but i
seemed to be most focused on cars, so I have probably guessed the wrong URL?

Best regards,

If they give good enough discounts, then maybe a few people could club
together, place some humongous orders and _all_ get much bigger discounts ..
I need a whole new bike for son No1 and some new forks for me .. 😉

I get first dibs at the sweeties though .. 😉

Upwards of 500UKP I think that means. Quite a lot of fun bits to
be had for that🙂

Nor me, either. I got some free socks on Tuesday, though - I'd been
ordering some stuff which came to £97, and if I pushed it over £100 I
got an extra 5% off. So I had a quick surf around and found some £5
socks, and the bill _still_ came to £97!

An entire decent-quality groupset, for instance. Mmm. Shiny.

Trehalose is sugar by any other name. Anyway, they seemed to give me a bit
of zip when I took two packs while out on a ride a few weeks ago. Can't say
they match up to the old sherbet lemons in the taste department though.

I spent a few quid with them when they were Butler Cycles in Southsea.
Bit annoying really, they closed the only good down-to-earth shop in
Portsmouth and moved it to the top end of town (with an expesive
refurb) while still shipping Wiggle orders from the back room, and
then they closed the shop completely. I haven't been there a while but
the other shops in Portsmouth just didn't cut it.

They're quite revolting. DW liked them, though. DD also had one
(before we noticed they had caffeine in them), and really, really wanted
more.
