E-commerce · Cycling
The rider knows the part is worn, and does not know which one fits.
This buyer is not browsing. Something has worn out or snapped, and they want the right replacement without a second trip. Most of them type the part and a number: a 700c tube, a 9-speed chain, a 26-inch tyre.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
In one paragraph
Bicycle parts e-commerce is the online sale of chains, tyres, tubes, brake pads, saddles, pedals, gear sets, wheels and bearings to riders and mechanics who need the exact fit. GullySales works on compatibility tables, search by part and model, and the quick answer a mechanic wants before ordering.
Last updated 7 Oct 2026. Product, labelling and advertising rules for cycling differ by product and change. We describe them in general terms, so check the current position with your own adviser or the regulator before you publish a claim.
Who it is for
This is written for you if you sell bicycle parts online.
- Parts sellers on Amazon, Flipkart and their own store
- Workshops and dealers who sell spares to riders and other mechanics
- Importers of components such as derailleurs, cassettes and hydraulic brake sets
- Brands that make tyres, tubes or saddles for retail and bulk orders
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- A seller who cannot state the fitment of the parts they list
- A shop with no returns process for wrong-fit orders
How buyers choose
What decides the sale of bicycle parts.
Wheel and tyre size
The buyer reads the size printed on the sidewall of the old tyre and searches for it. A listing that says 'universal' is passed over.
Gears, chain and cassette matching
Chain, cassette and derailleur must agree on the number of speeds. A rider mixing them up damages the drivetrain, and a mechanic knows it.
Brake type and mounting
Rim brake pads, disc brake pads and the caliper brand are not interchangeable, and the buyer needs to find the right set from the model on the box.
Brand against price
A mechanic orders a known brand for a customer's bike and the cheapest part for their own. The two buyers need different pages.
Where sales are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell bicycle parts online.
In the words sellers use on the first call.
“Orders come back as wrong fit”
The buyer chose 26 inches and the rim needed 27.5, or picked a nine-speed chain for a ten-speed. The listing never asked.
“Our parts get lost in marketplace search”
Dozens of listings share similar titles. Without size and speed count in the title, buyers cannot tell yours from the rest.
“Workshops buy once and never reorder”
A mechanic who found a good supplier for a chain order has no reason to come back unless you remind them or give them a reason.
The scope
The work we would propose for bicycle parts.
Measured on purchases, conversion rate, cost to win a customer, average order value and repeat purchases. Anything here that needs a platform or tool we have not used with you is confirmed in the audit before it goes in the scope.
- Fitment tables on every listingA compact table of wheel size, speed count, axle standard and brake type, placed under the title.
- Titles and attributes for part searchMarketplace titles rewritten with size and speed count first, and attributes filled in where the platform asks for them.
- Shopping feeds with the right attributesGoogle Merchant Centre product data built with size, brand and compatibility fields, so searches for a named part reach you. Feed setup is confirmed in the audit.
- Repeat orders from workshopsA WhatsApp list for mechanics with a price sheet and reorder reminders for the parts they use most.
- How-to pages by repairShort pages on replacing a chain, fitting a tube and adjusting brake pads, each linking to the parts needed.
What we do
What you get for bicycle parts.
Each deliverable and what it is there to change.
A compatibility table by part type
Tyres, chains and brake pads each get a table of which sizes and standards they fit, so the buyer checks before ordering.
A measure-your-old-part guide
Photos showing where to read the tyre size, count the cassette sprockets and find the brake type.
A workshop price sheet
A page or PDF for mechanics with their prices and a quick reorder form.
Marketplace title and attribute templates
One pattern per part type so every listing carries the same fitment words in the same order.
How the result is measured
- Purchases
- Conversion rate
- Customer acquisition cost
- Repeat purchase rate
- Return rate
- Wrong-fit returns
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
What we need from you
What to have ready before the audit call.
None of it has to be tidy. We read what you have.
- Your full parts list with brand, size and compatibility data
- Return reasons, especially wrong-fit orders
- Marketplace and own-store links
- Your workshop customers and what they buy most
- Recent ad spend and which parts it sold
Selling in India and abroad
Selling bicycle parts beyond your own market.
Where you sell decides sizes, units, seasons and returns. We work from Bengaluru and have no overseas office, so for a new country we start from your own sales and the platforms you already use.
Standards named differently
Tyre sizes appear as inches, as ISO figures and as French sizes such as 700c. Component standards differ by market, so list each with its alternatives.
Small parcels, simple shipping
Parts ship light and cheaply, so marketplaces like eBay and Etsy can work. Check customs rules for the parts you export, starting from your own sales data.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.
#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.
