Just had a look for a new 10sp rear mech for the boy. Need a SRAM one and found there was none on CRC. Has it always been so?

Your in Australia I think?
SRAM have got tough on cross teriotory sales now in an attempt to help local dealers compete fairly. Pushy's were better priced on GX groupsets than CRC/Merlin recently anyway. LBS should have a better price these days because of this. I think Monza have been passing some of the change on so better for us really down here than relying on CRC
Edit - Though you now have to pay GST on stuff as it's not imported under the $1000 threshold VAT free from EU.

Cheers Mike. Will have a look on Pushys.

I did think something might be afoot when not one SRAM mech could be found.

If you select GBP and UK in the regional settings all pops up but it won't go through the order process, Mavid did the same where CRC etc couldn't sell this years rim cross teritory.
Personally it's a decent idea, the trade seem to be on board with it here and doing them more favours than Shimano who don't really care

Mountainbikes direct is pretty good for SRAM as well.
Between them & Pushies, I haven't bothered with CRC in ages.
