  • Did you actually read the whole conversation leading up to my reply? Shops can charge whatever they want, but people go support their LBSs because they are usually small businesses etc, so for a long term loyal custome like myself who has spend £1000s over the years and all of a sudden, they want 4 times the amount for a cable, does that sit right with you? It's not about the money, it's a matter of principle. Shops can charge for whatever they want inded, equally, customers can shop wherevere they want. The biggest issue I have with said LBS is that they charge whatever they want with workshop items without a normal price tag, depends on their mood. So don't get on your high horse next time one of us say go buy stuff off ebay or Wiggle or what have you.

  • Yes I read your post in it's entirety, that's what prompted my reply.

    A basic single Shimano brake inner cable from workshop box from the main UK distributor costs us £1.82 inc. Vat - So charging £4 for one doesn't seem extortionate, especially considering the overheads of a bricks and mortar shop.
