Since when?

I heard there were price rises but this takes biscuit!!

XT Chainset RRP £209

Yes I know they offer an immediate discount.

Madison say £205.52.
Less than half the price of XTR.
And quite a bit cheaper than the FSA BB30 on my SS

They were £140 RRP when they were first introduced. So a 50% price rise

I’ve not seen it any cheaper than merlin recently

Just get an SLX triple instead. Still has a steel/compostite middle ring, and theres about 35g weight difference between them. (SLX = 889g) Its £35 (on merlin) cheaper too. So £1 per gram difference

It’s because the pound has fallen massively against the yen. Prices went up 3 or 4 weeks ago.
