Chain reaction appear £25 cheaper but have not dealt with either company so could those that have give any insights?.

Just as an aside would the Mavic Krysium Elite wheels be better at approx. £100 more?.

    IIRC Merlin charge postage on their stuff, CRC do not. Many good reports from CRC apart from the latest about stupid size boxes for small orders recently.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Chain reaction are ace in my experience, quick, free postage and sorted a problem rear mech out straight away, brilliant company.

    Yeah, CRC do probs. Bought my RS80s last month from Ribble after a lot of research and pricing around. Thou the sales were on then. Seems they are all offering 10-20% this weekend.

    I ordered some RS20s from CRC Tuesday lunchtime(after current back wheel gave up the ghost), they arrived on Thursday.

    Nuff said - CRC are probably the top UK online bike retailer.

    On your wheel choice, I think RS80 is the better bet.

    Thanks all RS80s ordered via CRC.

    Now await the "wouldn't touch them with a bargepole" advices. :wink:

    I got mine from Merlin (great wheel BTW) - good service - but I've had stuff from CRC too and they were fine
