It's owned by a British company but in response to @ozzybmx and @Calvin27, it was coined by a US company.

Sadly true. Nukeproof is ok and has decent brand value But it's true, the Americans seems to do better (or maybe it's the marketing?) Salsa, ironhorse, orange, moots, YT , santa cruz. I mean they don't get a free run like the italians, but they do well with brand value.

Earlier this month I returned a set of brakes to Wiggle under warranty. Looks like the parcel got lost and I got a refund as a result. I feel very lucky - i dont fancy trying to get warranty claims from Wiggle in the coming months. Hope my other set hold up!

according to Road.cc, this is the Wiggle Ebay clearance store?


" According to The Times’ report, the Frasers Group was attracted to Wiggle CRC’s digital footprint, with strong social media and online presence a key aspect. "
In which many people are now dissapointed? :)
are they planning a "Dick Smith Electronics" style resurrection?

I used to buy a bit from Evans about a decade ago. Had a look and they list Australia as a shipping destination again...

Didn’t know Riverside bought Bike24 back in 2019 answers my question why they are still going.

WiggleCRC sells Bike24 back to The Riverside Company

Having sold the business to WiggleCRC only in 2017, online retailer Bike24 has now been re-acquired by private equity firm Riverside.

Evans was great back in the day, bought lots from them, interested to see what happens if they have bought CRC/Wiggle.

Was only a quick ownership, so quick that there was no Wiggle-CRC traits even noticeable with the German Giant.
No free ship threshold, no transfer to the mother country, no sharing of brands, it seemed to retain its full German identity. Sold 2 yrs after buying.

Shipping is exorbitant though!

For the items I could actually go to checkout the shipping was only £13, but there were quite a few items that wouldn't actually allow me to go on to checkout, buuut I could put Shimano items in the basket and proceed to checkout!!
