Just thought I'd give you a heads up on a good deal direct form Formula in Italy, I've just taken delivery of a set of 2010 RX brakes for 170 Euros (£139). These are £103 per set over at CRC right now (a limited offer lol), I got fed up of getting outbid on ebay for new sets so I thought I'd try direct.

The also have Oro, Mega & The One for sale too, I like a bargain so I'm well pleased.

    I got some K18s fairly cheap from them when I built the 456.

    Are they supplied the "correct" way for UK riding?

    Yup make a pount re my thread on component prices. Just got this years retail box of slx 3 ring crankset for 94 quid from discountbike.de. To go with my £300 revelation rtl maxle forks and been waiting for slx brake but may go for these have oros on my vertex 50. Nice brakes.

    Why cheaper elsewhere. Crc say they are the largest so how about using their size to get good deals from manufacturers like the europeans do.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Would it not have been better to buy the whole SLX crankset and then sell the Arm's & BB ?
    £109 on CRC - not sure if they are this years though

    Edit, ahh ar first I read this as just the 3 x rings, £94 is a good buy - does that inc postage ?
