just rang one of the local LBS for a compression olive and hose barb for a set of Avid elixir £25 WTF?

thay probbly heard the hose bit and quted you for a hose set with olive and barb

asked him to check as it was only the barb and the olive…it was still £25.

crc price olive £1.69
crc price barb £1.99

total £3.68 and free post

and they wonder why people shop online

wonder how much fitting would be if you wanted that too?

Your LBS isn’t looking at the right part, their is no way a barb and olive cost £25, either that or he doesn’t want your business which I find amazing

maybe he was assuming you would need them bleeding too which would probably come to £25 with parts and labour.

In which case he should have said: “Three quid, plus 22 for bleeding too”
