Cane Creek have reduced the price of their forks (for whatever reason) from $1100 to $899.

https://www.canecreek.com/helm-forks-price-adjustment/

There has been no movement on the UK RRP. Why not? The price is the same as it was in January, as reported in this very publication.

I like these forks, and I'd sooner not have to buy from the continent when they should be hitting a price reduction with UK retailers.

There are no contact details as far as I can see on the Extra UK web page, and I can't seem to find a twitter account either. Anyone got the gen? Will it happen or is it just a bit of extra (!) profit for the boys?

I don't think the exchange rate has changed a huge amount since 4 November. I'm not wearing it.

They don't change the pricing every day to reflect exchange rates. Most prices will be set for 12 months.

What wheel size do you need? We still have a couple of 27.5 sets currently at 150 and 170mm but they can be set anywhere.

They probably bought their stock at the higher price and need to sell it at that price to reach their objectives.

Are you able to order direct from Cane Creek?

I imagine it's because they bought their stock at a set old price, and that needs to sell through the distributor and the retail outlets before new stock arrives at the new price.
