I find Wiggle overpriced. If you get the discount for
ordering > 100=20 UKP, they cost only slightly more
than Parkers.

I've spent so much there in the past year, I get a 5%
discount on everything.

I was going to say "You can have mine" but then
remembered that I've just chucked them out as I didn't
want them. Sorry...

You are probably better off without them. If they sent
you some you'd be tempted to eat them which is Not
Pleasant (tm). Even my tame sweet gobbler (son no. 1)
refused a second.

I find Wiggle with good price and service, but would of
course like to know of other good or even better
alternatives. I tried parkers.co.ukparkers.co.ukOpen ↗ but i seemed
to be most focused on cars, so I have probably guessed the
wrong URL?

If they give good enough discounts, then maybe a few people
could club together, place some humongous orders and _all_
get much bigger discounts .. I need a whole new bike for son
No1 and some new forks for me .. 😉

I get first dibs at the sweeties though .. 😉

Just don't ask how much I've spent there this year though...

Upwards of 500UKP I think that means. Quite a lot of
fun bits to be had for that🙂

An entire decent-quality groupset, for instance. Mmm. Shiny.

Trehalose is sugar by any other name. Anyway, they seemed to
give me a bit of zip when I took two packs while out on a
ride a few weeks ago. Can't say they match up to the old
sherbet lemons in the taste department though.

I spent a few quid with them when they were Butler Cycles in
Southsea. Bit annoying really, they closed the only good down-to-
earth shop in Portsmouth and moved it to the top end of town
(with an expesive refurb) while still shipping Wiggle orders
from the back room, and then they closed the shop
completely. I haven't been there a while but the other shops
in Portsmouth just didn't cut it.

They're quite revolting. DW liked them, though. DD also had
one (before we noticed they had caffeine in them), and
really, really wanted more.

I never get them either. I use Wiggle very little though, 2
orders (£100) per year.
