    Hey does anyone know the cheapest UK based retailer that sells the SLX M675 Brake? It doesn’t have to come with rotors.

    Thanks

    Get a groupset from merlin and sell the bits you don’t need on here

    Yeh i have looked at rose bikes however they sell the brakes with the levers swapped which would mean i’d have to switch them. Not sure on how to do that!

    Thanks for that rocketdog. I think ill just get them from rose bikes even though originally i said i wouldn’t. I might as well learn how to swap the hoses anyway eh.

    I like the idea of buying the groupset then selling the rest on but it might take a while to completely sell everything.

    Cheers guys

    Just get them from rosebikes, it is very easy to swap the levers over- takes a few minutes and doesn’t require bleeding them.

    Also don’t forget £10 voucher if you like them on Facebook.

    Why swap them over? I ride with the rear on the right…always thought it was normal. Probs a throwback from my bmx days. One brake ( Rear ) on the right.

    I’m looking at a set of these at the moment and i think Rose are slightly cheaper but out of stock for around 6 weeks.

    Merlin are £75 an end and 3% off with Quidco.

    Tymbian, I really wouldn’t like to have them reversed as im sure i would just go OTH.

    MrTall, yeh they are out of stock but I can’t buy them at the moment anyway as I need to get some funds together! 🙂

    Gaberin, Thanks for that money saving tip! Every little helps

    Not bought any brakes ,but I can definetly recommend Rose Bikes.
    Just had my first order with them,received within 2 days of them being despatched(Had UK orders from other companies take much longer)got a free gym bag thing and also 10%off with the facebook likey.

    Regards the 10% off,it did not show at checkout but does show on my receipt and via bank,just make sure you paste the code into the comments section as well.

    Captaintomo,

    I wouldn’t worry about buying brakes with the levers the wrong way round as you would have to shorten hoses on a UK set, so It’s just as easy to swap them at the same time.
    The worst thing that can happen is that you learn to bleed brakes – and that’s not a bad thing.
