My 2011 Allez is in need of new brake shoes. I've had a look and most places sell R50T2s (this is what was printed on mine) for around £8 a pair. I stumbled across Koo Bikes however who are selling 5 Pairs for £8.99.

Anyone have any experience of them? Not sure whether it's too goo to be true or whether my bike is so out of date that spare parts can be picked up for such bargain prices!

    I've ordered several items with no issue from Koo bikes, including a £100 wooden stand - they wouldn't match a price for me, but aside from that they have been excellent.
    Felt F70 05 (Turbo)
    Marin Palisades Trail 91 and 06
    Scott CR1 SL 12
    Cannondale Synapse Adventure 15 & 16 Di2
