Morning, anybody looking to buy Shimano disc brakes or transmission parts may want to check out these prices.

damn, that is cheap
Cheers, Full XT [i]"accidentally"[/i] bought 😳
Cheers from me too. Been waiting for some bargain brakes, ta drew.
Ta very much, some much needed new SLX cranks ordered 🙂
That slx crankset is a bargain. Pity I need 170mm.
Just be aware that the cranks don't come with the bb, as they are usually sold with it included.
Nice one...new xt cassette ordered.
Those cranks are a kin bargain alright.
Does anyone know if the indicator windows on the SLX shifters are removable?
And would anyone be interested in buying the left hand shifter for £12 if I bought the pair?
It seems to be quite common for 10 speed cranks to not come with a BB.
SLX brakes ordered. Was tempted by XT but want 2 sets so both bikes have the same brakes and I can add the free stroke with an M4 screw.
Cheers OP - new SLX cranks/XT BB ordered.
Snap those slx brakes up! Bargain of the year, they are fantastic brakes.
Shifter windows are removable but you will have to buy the base plates seperately if theyre uk spec...mainland eu ones come with them for some reason?!
Good price for the XT cassette.
patiotpro - I have some unused SLX 10 speed with blanking plates if you want some. email in profile
Just went back and got the SLX chainset!
The SLX brakes show 950mm for both front and rear hoses, is that right or just a typo?
Surely that's not long enough for a rear hose?
Andy
Only need, rear-shifter. Can you confirm it is 10 speed, how old and your asking price posted please?
Tried emailing you but can't make out your addy. Drop me an email pls.
Cheers
Edit: ignore the 10speed question... 😳
Great shout OP, Xt brakes ordered 8)
Many thanks for lightening my wallet!
Just bought a load if XT bits from HiBike and this is way cheaper 🙁
Nice new set of XT disc brakes on their way now though! 🙂
Went back and bought some SLX brakes . Hope the hose length description is wrong on the rear.
Thanks OP, mix of SLX & XT groupset bought. 8)
Was just about to hit the button on bike-discount.de too!
Slx chainset, xt block and a kmc chain, just over £100. Back of the net 🙂 Thanks OP
Ace PSA, thanks you saved me a fortune 😀
SLX shadow plus rear mech bought. Was tempted to get the cranks but can't really justify them.
XT cassette and knc chain bought, thanks OP.
Chaps fwiw if Ribble run out of stock, Merlin are discounting the same level this weekend.
Great PSA 🙂
Great PSA op, been waiting for an offer on some brakes, thank you 🙂
A few spares seemed to fall into the basket too 😉
Yesterday I was thinking 'I'd really like 2x10 on my Solaris same as my FS' and now I have 🙂 Price difference between XT and SLX is way bigger than the difference in performance.
Full new drivetrain (mix of SLX and XT) plus chainrings for £80.
Brilliant PSA and my new build is going to run much smoother now.
Quick question, will the SLX brakes work with Hayes Nine discs? Our should I get the Shimano discs too?
Should work fine lazgoat.
Bingo, thanks! New brakes ordered!
Couldn't of timed it better, in the market for new brakes and this comes along. Cheers!, hopefully the SLX brakes are as good as the reviews say
Brakes all not available any more.
If I was to buy a pair of those XT brakes, would I need any extra fittings to trim the hoses? Do they come with extra inserts?
That's cheaper prices than we (as a small rural bike shop) can buy the stuff from our suppliers.
Hoses included? Says levers and calipers.
Robowns I think youll need new inserts and olives which are a couple of quid each.
just got my SLX brakes and they are not fitted with the finned pads that I am sure the photo showed. No way to check though as they have removed the item from their website now. hmm
The SLX did not specify, but the XT did say so ordered XT. Just received the XT without the finned pads, feel like a bit of a mug right now. Still they were a bargain, so not like I will complain, just not impressed by Ribble.
Cheap shoes too!
New clipless stuff on its way!
Still they were a bargain, so not like I will complain
You should complain.
so the XT didn't come with them either? Did you get the spare olive and inert? By the time you add up the cost of a new olive/insert etc it makes the XT about the same price.
tbh I seriously doubt I need the finned pads but it's just annoying to not get what you paid for. The picture on the ribble email shows the finned on both SLX and XT.
At least the rear hoses look longer than the front ones.
oh and I called them up to ask about it and didn't exactly get an amazing response. I didn't go demanding they put it right and giving the a chance to see if was just an error. I would have bought XT had I known but they are out of stock.
My SLX clutch mech and XT 11-36 arrived today, not surprisingly it's oem gear and the cassette sprockets were rattling and loose so not packaged well.
Still, as long as it functions as it should, i'm a happy customer.
I didn't expect anything other than oem really and that's fine by me.
In terms of the brakes, my Merlin ones didn't come with finned last time either.
Olives and inserts cost me about £6 so all in still far cheaper than XT.
Fitted, ridden, and very very happy with them 🙂
