    I didnt mean to say it was £1 cheaper. I was just saying you could buy it at merlins also for a similer price. just in case they run out of stock etc at crc

    That's fair enough

    SLX brakes for £100 or less is good value anyway
    I'll update as to whether the ones from CRC come with the finned brake pads

    Wow I thought I got a good deal from bike-discount.de, that's a cheap price! My bike came with juicy 5's :(
    nightmare to get them to work correctly so after alot of research I found Slx's had good reviews and they use
    mineral oil so no chance of wrecking your paint work. Good feel, good brakes, great price and you won't have to
    swap the levers round like import versions so buy buy buy.

    Seems Shimano pad supplies vary. I bought my XTs from CRC recently and the front came with sintered pads, while the rear came with Resin (both finned). They sent me a pair of finned OE sintered pads FOC, and let me keep the resin ones too. :D

    The SLX have just arrived, both with Sintered pads with fins which is great
    (The finned version is £120 on Bike Discount de)
