Tidy, just bought a pair of Zee/Saint/SLX (SLX levers, Zee and Saint calipers) 2nd hand for £90 as well!
Oh well, will keep an eye for some other bargains as I still need a front brake for my trrials bike.
Thanks. Just cost me some more money. New forks ordered
The brakes are a great price , what some people want for second hand ones in the Classifieds!!
Cheers for heads up, SLX brakes ordered, cheaper than zee Germans plus with finned pads. I'll be able to stop now 😀
Ooh! Are the Zees worth 50 quid more than the SLX? For a sturdy mincer...
Good PSA and great prices. Was after a set of Zee, but I think the hoses are going to be too short for me really.
The hoses on all the brakes are short, the rears are very short! Doubt they'll fit many bikes.
Arse, yeah that's well short. And by the time I've bought new hoses they're not that cheap. Ah well, saved me a few quid. Kinda.

Bollocks, didn't spot that, refund requested.
Tempted to get the credit card out and give shimano another chance at those prices 🙂
Surely you only need one new hose? You could use the current rear hose as a front and then fit a new one on the rear.
Are Birds particularly short then?

The rears are yes.
Ribble have slx with full length house at 85 less 8% this weekend... Beats those bird prices if you were tho go longer house.

Perhaps that's why they're cheap. Bought in error and rather than bother with re-hosing them, just sell them on instead.
Great PSA! HAs proved costly though 🙂
If anyone wanted their cheap Pikes but missed out then actionsports are doing rc dual positions for £370.

Can't you just return them for a refund?
Did anyone buy the Zee brakes? Gutted I missed them!
If you want to go foreign, slx are 99 euroids for a pair on bd.de last time I checked.
They're still showing for me:

Thanks AlexSimon - I can't get them when I go on to their site in the normal way but can get them on your link! Makes no sense!
Yeah there is loads more stuff available you link alex , carbon rims, Wheels , a frame and some more rear shocks. Good spot!
Brakes are just about perfect for my small HT. The formulas from CRC can go back, I've just ordered some XTs!
My Deores will be in the classifieds soon.
Tried to resist but gave in for the 650b carbon rims
