I'll play devil's advocate.. disclosure I order "wear parts" chains, cassettes and tires from these guys.
Nature abhors a vacuum, so if Chain Reaction, Ribble, et al aren't selling this stuff, then someone like Amazon or Ebay steps in. Amazon won't take any responsibility for the stuff sold in market place (counterfeit UL labeled electronics for example) and consumers end up at risk. I'd rather have "bike guys" like Chain Reaction sell the products. YES, I know some won't warranty (Campy I think?) this way, but at least it's not counterfeit.
I do also wonder if Brexit has something to do with it as Chain Reaction are in Northern Ireland as mentioned above. That's another topic though..
