Hey guys, is there anywhere I can just buy masses of 8 speed chain? Like 25 or 50 feet at a time? same with cables. of course the cables wouldn't be 25 feet at a time, lol. perhaps 25 to a box. I'll check with my lbs tomorrow too.
thanks,
Cbman

have you tried speaking to your LBS about a bulk order with a discount attached?

i would imagine that the bike shops do not buy direct from the manufacturer (unless its a smaller company) as they would probably go through a reseller?

because if you COULD go direct and get a discount then there would be little point in having a LBS
