“Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine Chain Reaction stamping on a local bike shop–forever.”

Re: Charlie Best, if a shop goes out of biz and blames the big online discount shops they were doing it wrong and don’t have the business sense to reinvent themselves to be competitive in this market. There are plenty of small LBS’ that are thriving regardless of the Chain Reactions of the world. Quoting Orwell can’t make up for lack of understanding how to run a successful business.

Kernel, do you realise that Shimano product at 50% off MSRP is below most LBS cost?

Your statement is fair only on a level playing field. I am fortunate to work at a successful LBS, which has remained successful not by re-invention, but by continuing to provide an experience that endears us to our customers. Nonetheless, small businesses that are essential to the financial well-being of their communities are being squeezed, and hard.

Of course, if how much money they can save is the most important thing to a consumer, the health of local business will likely matter little to them, at least until their downtown becomes a ghost-town, property values fall, crime increases. You get the picture?

When I was doing the ‘bike design’ thing, I remember comparing OEM manufacturer costs for getting Shimano in Taiwan, from the Shimano people there, against when I could go online and buy it from CRC.

There was not a lot in it.

Is that a fair and level playing field? Not for me to say but I will say I did, and always have, smelled a rat in the system.

Charlie, even BRAIN disagrees with you;

http://www.bicycleretailer.com/retail-news/2015/06/10/fred-clements-e-commerce-grows-physical-stores-dominate-retailing#.Vld5e9-rRE4

“A new report from a company called Timetrade pushes back against some of the hype and e-commerce love. The report notes that physical stores dominate retailing so thoroughly that calling it a mismatch is understating the case to the point of absurdity. And while e-commerce is expected to more than double by 2020 to about $550 billion, the money spent at stores will still be nine times what is spent on-line that year.”

Maybe BR or another reputable site will explain why UK online sellers have been selling Shimano so much cheaper than anyplace else can. I heard it was a competitive distributor system in place in UK, but something is going on.

Chain reaction inflates the “original price” so the discount seems larger.

Half the time their “sale price” is higher than the prices at one of my LBS. Rare occassions CRC is cheaper

@Rides bikes:

Basically, the online mega discounters can and do buy grey market product, often through distributors in Eastern Europe.

@Kernel, the study examines ALL online retail outlets vs ALL physical retail outlets, not just bike shops. So Charlie could be (and in my view is) correct because the trends within that one sector disappear within the wider picture (which includes grocery stores, clothing stores, blah blah). Skis and bikes are a retail nightmare if you’re trying to compete w/ Backcountry or Chain Reaction. Our shop has moved to promoting SRAM partially because Shimano doesn’t act as a partner to IBD’s.

@Peter and others:

No, actually buying grey market through a distributor is already losing. In central Europe distributor prices are typically within a few percent of online public pricing. CRC and others can buy grey market direct from OEM’s. Its the only possible way to get these super low prices.

For example: OEM contracts with Shimano to sell X thousand SLX rear mechs in coming model year based on sales forecasts, then sales forecast gets revised downward ( always downward) and OEM still has contract for X thousand mechs at super-quantity discount. What to do? Don’t want to lose super quantity based price from Japan so instead have sales Mgr call CRC and offload some at cheaper than distributor price. Everyone is happy. Shimano sells X thousand mechs, OEM gets good guy price, CRC gets good guy price…only LBS is left out, but who cares about them right? It’s no where near fair, but the guys with the money / power have no incentive to change anything.

This is one of the reasons why Schwalbe has those neat bar codes inside their tires now…..traceability….gotta see who offloaded 4 pallets of Rocket Rons when all the shops are complaining about online prices.

Working for an online retailer that is also a LBS, I have dealt with this for a while and the reality is that there are crazy trade laws in Europe and MAP pricing does not exist there. The Wiggles and Chain Reactions buy at OEM prices and also through the grey market and then resell those products below wholesale over here. Shimano and SRAM claim that they are trying to sole this, but the reality is that these channels represent such a huge amount of their OEM business, that they don’t want to cut them off, which legally they can’t even do if they wanted to by European trade laws. It is a real difficult problem.

cheffdog its not a problem, consumers get goods at very good prices, that’s what the laws are for, they are there to keep prices low not to keep out of date companies in the black. Shimano know full well what happens to there stuff and they make a lot of money from it so i don’t see it stopping any time soon.

Oh jen, I hope no one ends up considering something you care about “out of date” just to save a buck.

Recently, I purchased a few things from my LBS because I wanted to give them some business. They were very helpful answering questions and steering me toward what I wanted to buy. Now, I don’t regret doing it, because again, they provided me a service and I wanted to repay them by giving them my business. However, they literally ordered the parts and components from the same consumer website I could have, except it was marked up. Again, no problem, they had provided me a service that I felt was worth paying a bit extra for the my order, but it’s not as if they were ordering through some secret LBS wholesaler who gave them a great deal that they could pass on to me. If I hadn’t received what I felt was good service, I never would have ordered though a LBS, if they use the same website that anyone can.

This debate will rage forever, but 99% of the time, I’m doing my own research and finding the best deal I can.

This is a huge problem. I have been in this industry for some time and what drives you crazy is that shops (not all shops) give excellent customer service and help out customers with every issue and question that they have but those same customers still buy their products online and then bring them back to the shop to have them installed on their bikes.

Yes the shops do make money in labor but it is just not enough. Shops still need retail sales to survive. And shops cannot charge $150.00 to install a set of brakes or shifters as customers would not pay for it.

I understand buying online but you also realize that if you do not buy locally not only will shops (of all kinds) close down (and all that will be left are nail salons and hair dressers) but without local tax revenue there is no money for fixing your roads, paying your fire and police and teachers, etc.

My lbs took 9 months and not deliver my ibis hd3 direct mount hanger which I requested to exchange it when I bought the frame on feb 2015. A simple thing like hanger my lbs couldn’t even fulfill, how to support them? Guess what, I bought the hanger direct from ibis online store and it took 2 weeks to arrive my doorstep. One word to lbs, don’t treat customers like a FOOL!
