Cycling Gear

[Kolumbo]

Looking for the best online sites to purchase cycling gear. I got into cycling a long time ago and looking to get back into it more and more for low impact fitness. Way back in the day before Amazon and online shopping there was Bike Nashbar and Performance Bike. Today there are many more options. I have a 30 year old Giant road bike and I also have a 20 year old Specialized mountain bike which I rarely use. I am looking to upgrade to a gravel bike (Specialized Diverge perhaps) for road cycling which I will probably get sized for at a local bike shop. I need to get all new gear, shorts, shoes, shirts, helmet, etc. and there is so much selection online. A dedicating cycling site or Amazon, or a combo of both.

"In 2000, Bike Nashbar was sold to rival mail order company Performance, which was later acquired by ASE. ASE went bankrupt in 2019 and Bike Nashbar and Performance were acquired by AMain Sports and Hobbies, which continues to operate the businesses"

Yeah, I was a Nashbar guy forever and haven't used Performance in 10+ years.

JensonUSA has everything for any type of bike and is really good option for components. I also use REI a lot for little stuff and especially for clothing. Their co-op brand is very solid and very affordable but they also have big brands, Pearl Izumi, Cannondale, etc.

I ride mountain bikes only and do most of my own maintenance like break bleeds and tubeless tire setups, etc, so when it comes to that stuff (brake oil, tube tape, chain cleaning supplies) I'll use Amazon.
