I remember when I first started riding in NZ, the only parts I could get from the local bike shop was Primo Tenderizer pedals and Odyssey Hazard 14mm freewheel hubs.. their was one shop that had profile SS hubs but they where over a $1000 for the set!... crazy.. Times have changed allot since then, most of the major BMX brands are available in any shop in NZ which is so rad. I'ts awesome to go from not even been able to get a decent brake cable to been able to get all sort of trick parts! Just have a look at what shops like T-Whites-Bikes, Revolution, Hedgehog, 02project and Madison Bike and sports are stocking these days....
All of these parts for example have just landed in the country and are available at all the shops I listed above. I'm strong believer in supporting the local scene and local shops.. so there is no reason to buy from the likes of places like DansComp these days.. Anyway enough from me..support NZ.. and go ride!
