Do they really not come with discs??

Seems a bit odd for a set of disc brakes not to come with the discs??

Alternatively: order a set, complete with discs, for half the price direct from Hong Kong

I've just got a set. Free postage and they arrived 4 days later. Which, if present moaning is to be believed, about the same as CRC's current delivery times

Dunno about the ones linked - may be OE in a plastic bag, in which case maybe not. I've bought two sets in the past that came in the full retail packaging/box and included rotors and all bolts..... in fact I probably have a brand new pair of 160 mm rotors still in that packaging and I went with centelock rotors on one bikes.....

EDIT: Binners - don't think the ones you've linked are road calipers.....

The CRC ones won't be the full retail package, which DO come with disks.

Remember, any disk will do, it doesn't have to be the Avid ones.

I ordered BB7s from CRC recently. They didn't come with rotors, though the description made it sound like they should. I got in touch and got some rotors sent out for free.

OP, there's a clue in the listing: 😉

*Please Note that these brakes DO NOT come with a rotor*

I wish you hadn't posted that binners, it's one of those that seems to good to miss even if you don't need them. You can get levers as well for another £11. I'm almost tempted just to avoid the prospect of having to bleed my Elixirs when the time comes.

They often come with Roundagon rotors - but some ebay sellers have then with the G3 rotors - so get them as the roundagons are nasty.
