IME Merlin aren't ones to list stuff as in stock when they're ordering from supplier, but I guess we'll see if mine turn up this week or not.
I think Madison had a big shipment recently, I was able to get hold of a pair myself through one of my LBS's anyway... 👍🏻
Oh, and great brakes still!
These go for £180!! I’ve got a set I took off my new bike and new rotors in my garage still 🧐
@ogden, first dibs please if you decide to cash in..
Good deal, though they are set up EU style so hoses need swapping over, not that it's a problem...must have been stock destined elsewhere?
They sent me a dispatch link and a tracking number already, so seems like they do have them
Wow! I got a front set for£70, admittedly with a discount code, last March for my 'early lockdown build' . What a difference a year makes.
Great brakes by the way.
Well they arrived, they're in OEM packaging, and only 1 olive and barb supplied and no yellow blocks for chopping down, but a 180-203mm post to post mount included which I didn't think was standard?
Now just waiting for the fork to reach supplier so the rest of the bike can be built up...
A lot of Merlin's stuff is like that - you pays your money etc. - I rather think they should state the stuff isn't exactly manufacturer's aftermarket, unboxed etc. so you know it'll be bagged and maybe not with the usual parts. Eg recently got a XT BB, bagged with spacers but of course no fitting tool, which is what you get when it's boxed 'genuine' Shimano aftermarket. But save £5?
Holy moly
I spent £170 on SLX m7120 front and rear last year....and SLX are dearer than XT
Gives me hope I’ll get some money back for the XT I have to sell
