  I order quite a lot of bike parts, and SJS is absolutely, positively, the last place I'll order from unless I'm (very much) not in a hurry, as it often takes them days to dispatch stuff.

  I would expect the seller in China to get me my order before SJS puts it in a bag.

  I probably can't compete with your order volumes, but I have to say that over the last couple of years I've had the complete opposite experience with SJS. Always received whatever I ordered within 3 days.

  If you just want to check, I have a 26" wheel (with a huge tyre fitted) but it's the only one I have so can't sell. Soz

  I ran maybe the first (not sure I'm new here) pop up Bike Check Point here last week, made it onto local BBC Radio and had a queue all day of mum's, dad's, kids wanting tyres blown up and clicky gears tuned. Life is good.....

  That's a nice thing to do. Must have been exhausting!

  I wouldn't necessarily assume that more expensive shoes will last longer.

  Turns out I bought my current Shimano xc31 shoes in 2016. I don't wear them everyday, but probably most weekends at least once on average, if not more. They've done a couple of seasons of cross too as well as the regular road riding and a bit of touring.

  Anyway, I'm surprised how old they are! The toe box doesn't show much sign of wear and I'm pretty careless.

  Short version: big fan of mid to low end Shimano shoes here
