I'm looking for a front hub for my hybrid commuter bike. What's a good shop to buy parts online? I'd rather order from an independently owned shop if I can.

You can look on amazon if it is a particular part, and find all the retailers that offer said part and a lot of times you can order direct through them if you want to. Other than that, all the good brick and mortar shops I know of don't really do online stuff, or if they do it is VERY limited.

Every bike shop has 1 or many wholesale accounts for parts, just call your local shop closest to you and they will order it. It usually is delivered in 1-3 days from wholesalers.

It's a bit different where I am. Bike shops here are extremely profit motivated. If I ask for a part, they're charging me retail+shipping.
