Bit of a scam though. Looks like XTR chainsets for £160 until you go to the actual page

Whats this floodsale thing? if it's been soaked I don't want it.

If it's just the box then sure some bargains.

Hope BBS - what makes a road one a road one and a mtb one and mtb one? is it the central sleeve or do the cups vary?

They will after 10 minutes on my feet. I reckon it's worth a punt for £30 though...

racing_ralph I think it's the length of the threaded section. Road version has a fewer threads so bit risky for heavy mtb use as the BB threads may get shredded

Damn missed the SIDI MTB boots after having them in basket. Went for the road ones instead then, as at 30 pounds I couldn't go wrong. I'll just have to avoid touching down with them this winter when offroad!

Cool thanks.

Just ordered a pair of xtr calipers (£20 each) for less than the price of a pair of replacement pads for them!!!

Got a front one in last years sale for same price and it was mint.

A cheap upgrade from the xt calipers currently on the tinbred

£10 for a WTB DH saddle? I don't care if it's still covered in seaweed.

Just managed to resist buying a coil Totem for £500. Phew.

Bum. Just had a call to say the stock of xt rear mechs was overstated, so won't be getting mine. Still, mainly wanted the sidi hydros so hopefully they will still arrive.
