Something you need to watch with chain reaction is that their prices can exceed even Canadian prices, depending on what you buy. For example, the carbon wheel set I'm looking at is $1000 more than in the US. That's the MSRP of course.
$3382.49 at Chainreaction
$2450.00 at competitive cyclist

Some wheel sets are better deals, like a custom build with hope hubs, or if you can get a good sale, which cr does have. A 2011 version of the carbon wheels is on for $1409.36, but the hubs that year where crap and had a lot of issues.

Another example is the garmin edge 500.
$462 at CR
$400 at bow cycle
$360 in the US
It's on sale now at CR for $288.

CR has good sales, but I have seen where CR's sale price is more than MSRP in the US. Just need to price check.
