Does anyone know a website that sells bicycle parts. My wife and I picked up a simple road bike for her to ride to and from work and the front caliper is in need a replacing. | ||

http://www.jensonusa.com/?sc=ggl&x=y&kw=bike+shop+ and+store&gclid=CLDCv_mP-6YCFUS8KgodpS3RCQ Has been one of my favorites. http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/TopCategories_10053_1 0052_-1 Next best. Between the two, you should be able to find anything you need and some bargains too. | ||

Universalcycles.com has virtually everything on the planet. If it's an older, nicer bike, then velo-orange.com is good for more vintage things that can be hard to find otherwise, but not necessarily cheapest. With brake calipers you have to be careful of reach. An older bike might have 27" wheels while new stuff would likely be 700c which is 4mm smaller IIRC. Easy to check, just have to be aware. Google Sheldon Brown for a link to a good site on bike repair and information on all of the continuously changing (thanks Shimano  ) standards. | ||

What kind of bike do you/her have ? Some of us are addicted to anything two wheels. Do tell... | ||

Try the LBS (local bike shop), they need your business. | ||

Skin, she has just a standard plain used road bike. Aiming to see if she gets into riding it regularly to work and if she does we will upgrade it from there to a new one later this year. | ||

Standard, as in old-style, Sturmey-Archer 3-speed hub, center or side pull brakes? | ||
| Cataract2 |
Old style and my knowledge of bikes is limited. | ||

Maybe you can post a picture from the part you need!? | ||

If you have a college nearby, there's usually a bicycle co-op, where they have tons of used parts cheap. I've bought from Universalcycles.com, Jensonusa.com, and Pricepoint.com. You can't loose with any of them. | ||

Thump, I thought for sure that you were going to say go to the college and clip a nice new one ! I gotta get out of Jersey soon... Let's see a pic ur two of what you have and what you need. I might have something for you... |
