IMHO and many others the biggest and best is:

www.chainreactioncycles.com

Free delivery and if you order before 3pm you get it the next day. Huuuuuuge range of parts!

Another vote for Chainreactioncylces.com here. I ordered a custom built wheel, and it arrived within 2 days, and was far far cheaper than any other place I could find. In fact, I'm beginning to think it was wrongly priced, as it still seems too cheap!

cheers

Ok, bikey types,
I'm getting back into mountain biking after a couple of years off. My, almost unused, Specialized FSR has rim brakes, what's the best value disc setup nowadays, bearing in mind my hubs will need replacing?
PS sorry for the hijack!

I'd definately recommend hydraulic rather than cable for a start. I've tried cable brakes on my mates old kona, and whilst they're OK for stopping power they feel horrible compared to hydraulics and very quickly became a pain in the arse constantly dragging and needing adjustment.

I'd recommend hopes any day. My minis are beautiful to use and well hope are just cool! The good thing is you can pick up sets well cheap from ebay from bike tarts who think they now need the latest 6-pots or whatever. For example this set...

Hope Minis

There's a few more to choose from too. There are a load of new shimano 525 hydraulic sets on the bay too. Dunno what they're like but will probably be cheaper than hopes. Probably fine but shimano are evil so i wouldn't buy them
