Where'd you buy your bike stuff in 2021?

[NHAero]

I'm going to start a spreadsheet because of the $600 1099 thing. I know it will be a lot easier doing it as I go along vs. trying to remember later. I looked at my Paypal transaction sales for 2021 and it will be challenging to find what I paid for some of the stuff I sold. I did a winnowing of stuff I was unlikely to use and so a lot was old.

BikeTiresDirect - their "points" program encourages repeat buying which I've availed of and saved a bunch.

I use bike tires direct fairly often. Most recently Excel Sports got my business for Zipp wheels and Pirelli tubeless tires. I've bought chains and cassettes from wherever I can, from a google search. I've purchased from Universal cycles, Jenson, Back Country, Competitive Cyclist and most recently Bikeinn. I found SRAM Force AXS shifters for cable operated brakes for only $360 per pair. They've become hard to find and retail is $470 per pair. I debated on that purchase, but shifters are one of the most easily damaged parts in a wreck. I've got a spare saddle and 4 new tires too.
