    I’ve never ordered from R2-Bike, I take it they are okay to deal with?

    Very much so – before the B word they were one of my preferred shops. After sales has been spot on too

    Got mine the other day. DHL then parcelforce to the house. Bargain at £117 through PayPal including delivery.

    This is even cheaper

    Ordered thanks, along with a Sram chainring I’ve been struggling to get.

    r2 are spot on, support emails can take a day or two sometimes but they are very helpful and great to deal with

    Now then I wonder, do they have Sram GX 11SPD 42T versions cheap?

    Nice one, bargain, thanks. Price seemed to have dropped even further for me?

    Cheers George! Just trying to figure out if similar price in UK for GX 11Spd :/ yet

    Yuuuurp price has dropped more on site.

    Avoid UPS the brown and goldy yellow side doored courier as hidden charges are extracted once deliveredor before delivery by crooked cs team members over phone.

    Thanks for the PSA – I scoured the euro sites for a deal last year at the height of the post covid boom and the best “deal” I could find was £180!!! So happy that prices are starting to settle and deals can be once again had.

    Tempted to have one on the shelf….

    As much as I rate slick gear shifts, no way I would pay more than £80’ish for a new cassette.

    BONKERS even knowing that they must be tooled very meticulously compared with say a stem.

    Thanks, one plus an XX chain ordered for the spares box.
    After my memory of how much I paid for an eagle 12spn chain in lockdown (still worth it to avoid damaging the rather more expensive cassette) I’m keen to go back to my old habits of buying spares whilst cheap(er) rather than paying through the nose for spares “on demand”.

    I’ve ordered 2 at different times. No extra to pay for me, YMMV.

    Just don’t use the ups option. They’re thieving ****.

    Bought a GX cassette and chain and together came to less than the import tax threshold of £135.

    My current cassette on my Scalpel has had 3 chains already so might get another chain’s worth of use before it needs replacing.

    Thanks op for the heads up.

    I’ve read the guidance and it’s not explicit, does anyone know if you pay duty only on the value above £135 or, if you breach the £135 value you pay duty on the whole amount?

    GX cassette, chain & chainring comes to £141ish. 😬

    (Great PSA, thank you, been eeking out a cassette for ages…)

    My understanding is on the whole amount. Never pushed my luck and always made sure I’m bellow the amount

    Many thanks OP. I have been looking for a deal on one of these for a while.

    Hmmm, my order was £158, I didn’t think about tax as assumed it was all included these days.
    What taxes am I likely to get hit with – VAT plus £12 customs charge? It’s clear as mud

    Is the 52 too big to work with some set ups? Planning a Shimano build but need a Sram style cassette.

    Whatgoesup – In theory your order cost plus postage fee, plus VAT, plus courier admin fee, plus import duty (4%??)

    My cassette and chainring turned up this morning with Haribo and a free water bottle in the box.

    Great PSA @honourablegeorge, thank you.

    Ordered a XG1150 cassette yesterday and after thinking about it ordered another today. €82 delivered and hopefully no additional charges – I used r2-bike in June for a <€125 order and didn’t have anything extra to pay then, so fingers crossed.

    GX Cassette is being prepared to be delivered by Parcelforce this morning so interested if any vat to pay given it was 0% on the invoice. Order was €112 including delivery.
