 Poster: A snowHead
|
Can anyone give me the web address for any good online shops for buying servicing equipment for skis?
I know I found a really good one a few months ago with loads of stuff on and now I can't find it again.
Preferably not: s&r, EB, ski racing supplies, ski bartlett. I know there is something with a far better range than these but cannot find it again. please help

Bartlett has a much bigger range than their website shows. I visited their shop recently and was impressed by how much tuning kit they had (and the advice they gave), but for some reason this range doesn't appear on thier website.

waitingforwinter, I've imported most of my gear from the US as cheaper/better selection/better quality etc. Had very good service from all of the following:
http://www.therace-place.com for their excellent 'Beast' products.
http://www.race-werks.com for their excellent 'SVST' products & 'Moonflex' stones/Secret sauce cutting fluid which I used when gunsmithing.
http://www.artech.com for general gear. You can't actually pay online so you fax your order to George on 001 603 632 9360.
Aslo for Kunzmann products (who make gear for many of the sold called brand names) via Ronnie http://www.kandie-imports.com
I've had good service from Barlett's but their web site is crap which puts me off.
Finally, although I never used them (yet) I heard good reports about Ed Pirie at http://datawax.com

I agree, which is a shame because in my limited experience they are pretty good for this stuff. Certainly much better than any other UK retailer I've used. They have SVST, Kunzman and Beast edge guides in stock (although not sure about Secret Sauce!), and I think they will make a special order for anything you want but they don't have available. If you are in West London they are worth a visit, or at very least a phone call.

rob@rar.org.uk, There you go, I didn't know that Bartlett's stocked SVST & Beast products etc. They really are missing a trick with their web site.

spyderjon, I was surprised when I visited the shop. Bought a couple of SVST Icecut files and a diamond stone which I think is a Swix product but rebadged and therefore cheaper.

thanks for the advice. I agree about bartlett's website. I will get in touch though to see what they have.
Main reason for asking for web - based ones is that i was bored at work and fancied spending a bit of time having a look at what is around. Will try to get to or speak to Bartletts though.
Thanks

I have brought several items from Bartlett's as they appear at at quite a few of the ERSA ski races.
Would there be any objection if I pass the above comments on to Terry Bartlett as it might help persuade him to do something about his web site.

kevinrhead, no objection from me. It would be terrific to see their website getting as good as the service I recieved when I visited the shop recently.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Agree! I built/run an ecommerce site (www.evanscycles.com) and mail order division, and although its still a work in progress, the two years I/my employers invested in it definately paid off! I ordered from Bartletts today and was thinking exactly the same. If only I was a freelancer
