The store which is my only local option for parts for my Specialized Allez carries a lot of Bontrager replacement parts for the common stuff... such as tubes, brake pads, etc.
I would assume that these are the parts that they're using in their own service department, since they carry a lot of Bontrager parts.
Are the parts that Bontrager produces and sell... are they OE quality?
Granted, I don't need a $40 tube or $30 brake pads... but I don't want to waste my time with inferior quality stuff, or have some sort of an otherwise avoidable failure miles from home.
I know I could source this stuff in other places, but it is nice to be able to get new brake pads, like I did this morning, on a moments' notice.
