Interesting point about the advice. I asked Chain Reaction a somewhat leading question and they gave me sort of the answer I was looking for.

Chain Reaction were absolutely correct. They told me the cleats were compatible with one pedal but not another whereas Shimano tech docs seemed to imply the cleats were compatible with both.

Madison told me that the cleats weren't compatible at all (so wrong ..)

So I was quite impressed as I had just assumed they were a cheap warehouse.

CRC are usually very good and there have been many recent threads on cyclechat to confirm that fact.

However, they do stuff-up, give bad advice and not respond to emails so don't get too excited!

However, one of the better on-line store.

I've had lots of problems with them recently and after the latest episode I am no longer a customer of theirs. There's far too much keen competition out there from companies who actually pick up the phone.

Hi Steve,

It's really an accumulation of issues, this one was the straw that broke the camel's back. I made 2 orders for stuff on the same evening, but one of the orders arrived in about 2 days and the other took over a week to arrive with no explanation. When I called up to find out what was going on, I couldn't get through (then again, I have never been successful in getting through to CRC on the phone). The order finally arrived today, 2 of the items I ordered were part of the flood sale so was prepared for some tatty packaging or perhaps a bit of surface rust but honestly, the multitool is so badly rusted it won't even open. Another multitool bought in the same order and also part of the flood sale is immaculate. To make matters worse, 3 items I ordered as part of the order that arrived today were cancelled with zero explanation.

As I said, this is on top of other problems I've had in every order I've made over recent months. I buy quite a lot of kit from various online retailers and have never had to pick up the phone or write an email.

So that's it with CRC for me, delighted to hear others are having a better experience though.

Dave.
