>You cannot purchase any Shimano parts at Chain Reaction. this is a relatively recent development, you could last year. i'm not sure if they've clamped down globally or just stopped shipping to north america. >this is no different than any other bike manufacturer it's different in that CR is a retailer as well as a manufacturer.
