Question
Where would I find actual parts for a bike online? I'm looking for main sprocket bearings for my Raleigh Spirit Bike given to me by a neighbor. Can't seem to locate actual parts like cables, bearings, chain, etc.. Thanks Ron

Answer
Hello Ron. I don't know anything about shopping for bike parts online. I Googled somethings and didn't find much.

I strongly encourage you to support your local bicycle shop and get the parts there. Usually you can give them a call and they will take your name and number and they will call you when your parts have arrived.

By the way, I am supposed to only answer question about repairing bicycles. Please find another expert on online shopping or go to a bicycling forum. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Expertise

I can answer questions on all issues you may have encountered with your bicycle. Some things are hard to explain without visually seeing or riding the bicycle such as vague 'clanking' noises.

Experience

I was my neighborhood mechanic as an early teenager. I have also worked in a bicycle repair shop for about a year and a half.
