Pricepoint is good. Also Universal Cycles is another good one.
If your lbs doesn't have what your looking for I would suggest the 2 below.
JensonUSA will pricematch, next day shipping and all fees(including Canadian taxes) are up front @ the checkout.
Quick replies to email also.
If your looking for shimano CRC has the best prices.
All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.
buy from chainreactioncycles (UK), spend over $300 and get free shipping!!
with the current exchange rate (CDN/US) though it'd better be a good deal. and try and get somewhere that ships USPS so you dont get dinged with brokerage fees.
For most parts, it's really hard to beat the prices that you will get from Overtime Sports. There are some good deals online, but by the time you factor everything in, the margin gets a lot slimmer. Avoid anyone that ships UPS, they have hidden brokerage fees. USPS has been the best shipping for me.

Ya I second the online groups in th UK. also try http://www.wiggle.co.uk if you are buying enough stuff the deals can be great and with shipping included.
Shipping is like 1 weeks tops and right to your door. I have bought from both Chain reaction and Wiggle….very statisfied

UPS = UPS
USPS = United States Postal Service
just in case it's as confusing as it was for me the first time I tried to figure this out.
UPS has $90 over the border brokerage fees.
Most places that use UPS us UPS expedited for Canadian orders. This service doesn't carry any additional brokerage fees. Universal uses this.
Jenson uses Fedex International priority, this includes all brokerage and cnd taxes applicable. You will get charged nothing extra.
USPS has an $8 fee when Canada Post clears it at the border. You may also get dinged GST, although I've found that's hit and miss. Some things from CRC in the UK still ding you GST when you receive your order as it's delivered by Canada Post.
I order online alot, and other than my very first lesson, I've never been charged brokerage at delivery and I've had things delivered UPS, Fedex, DHL etc.
i've been really liking jenson since they started using fedex. it's hard to belive they can get stuff to you the next day or 2 days at the most. the shipping price includes all other fees(gst,brokerage,etc) and it's delivered to your door.they are awesome at price matching
Universal is great and if your doing a big order you get to take another 15[HTML_REMOVED]#37; off if your order is over 300
CRC(uk) has some of the best prices on Shimano, Hope and Maxxis tires then you can find almost anywhere else. they ship for free(it's now $275 or more)
and as posted above, check out overtime first on most any part. they have wicked prices that either can't be beat on-line or it's so close it wouldn't be worth it.
Not sure if they carry much for mtb, but ProBikeKit will ship everything free to Canada, regardless of price. Their prices are usually cheaper than US mailorder sites too … if they have what you need (sometimes out of stock on items).

Though it doesn't cover any extra fees courtesy of Customs.
