Just been to look to see about getting a new rear deralier on CRC and I couldn't see any shimano offerings available on their website. A quick look in a few other categories and I can't see any shimano parts there either. Looking on their brands list I can't see shimano (though I admit I may have just missed the listing).

Am I going mad or have Shimano actually disappeared from the CRC website?

Er, it's not April 1st. And yeah, you made me look, so kudos if that was your game.

There's an ad for Ultegra on the front page and plenty of Shimano on there?

Its there for me, maybe you need a trip to specsavers pal.

Edit: i think this must be someone from CRC posting this to get a surge of clicks to their site, can't think what else it would be!

Are you outside the UK or using a VPN? Shimano (and SRAM, Fox etc..) won't allow retailers to sell to customers outside their region, so those parts won't show on the website for overseas customers.

I think you're wrong there.

I'm in Norway and I can see and buy Shimano from CRC.

This is an honest question, I genuinely can't see any shimano parts from my PC.

Also, if I click on the link from @ads678 above I just get taken to their home page.

Where are you, or your VPN, based?

Your country is set to Taiwan.

Are you in Taiwan?

Judging by the screenshot you're logged into the Taiwan version of the site. I've just tried that, and you are right, it has no Shimano stuff.

In suffolk, VPN doesn't seem to be making any difference but I have just noticed that for some reason the CRC website had set my location preference as Taiwan which seems to be the thing causing me problems.

So, crisis averted, everyone can carry on with their day now.
