    Mrs j and I have just bougght a few drivetrain bits from them, inspired by tales of cheaper slx cranks in germany (it’s true, £80 or thereabouts). Despite the .co.uk bit they are German, just very well translated into Englisch.

    It would seem they are also waaaaay cheaper than crc/anywhere in uk for a lot (but not nearly the full range) of shimano stuff. Also bought new alivio (ie proper rings and bolt patterns…) square taper chainset and 8sp cassette for the ‘team’ (spare parts for wooing new riding buddies) bike for £18. Yes, for both. Postage is either 6 euros or free if you spend enough (which evidently we did).

    That is all.

    They are the 1st place I look at nowadays.

    Got a Alfine hub and some other stuff really cheap. Think Ive ordered an XTR BB for 17 quid (although the description is a bit vague.

    http://www.bike-components.de are worth a look too, got Rockshox Sektor forks from there about 100 euros cheaper than anywhere else I’ve seen.

    Just found them while I was browsing for dynamo hubs. Seem massively cheaper for Shimano, though not, ironically, for German SON dynamo hubs…

    Most of the German shops are good these days, I got some Revolution spokes for 50p each from Bike24 and an XT cassette for less than trade.

    Postage looks like it’s free for orders over £50, it’s £5 otherwise I think. They certainly look a lot cheaper for Shimano though but not a huge range of stock. Certainly well worth a try though. I’d be interested in hearing about delivery times too.

    I assume that there’s no risk of customs charging duty as it’s an EU country?

    I ordered yesterday afternoon, e-mail to say dispatched this morning. Happy so far!

    Due to EU agreements, you pay sales tax in the country selling the goods and that is all. There are no additional charges beyond what your invoice will say.

    Wish i hadn’t seen this – am considering buying a Jabba Wood, horrible name but kit looks rather decent.

    Has anyone had any trouble ordering?

    I tried to yesterday … everything I wanted was avaliable but when I went to press the pay button all the prices vanished and I was left with a carraige charge and nothing else (even though it said free carraige for orders over £50)

    Seemed to indicate that what I wanted was out of stock, just seems odd that everything was out of stock.

    I cant look past http://www.actionsports.de, placed a few orders and the longest took 3 working days.

    You cant argue with an XT 10 speed grouppo for £250 either, they blow the cheapest British companies out the water.

    Bearing in mind the apparently massive buying power of merlin and crc in the UK, you have got to wonder what is different about the supply chain of shimano in germany for it to be so cheap from so many places. Not that I am complaining….

    Is it as simple as VAT? I though we did OK for VAT over here.

    Top tip for Rose Bikes is to become a fan on Facebook (you have to allow their app permission) and get a 10 Euro voucher. Free shipping (to UK) is running till 15th March.
    So with discount have managed to get Short Cage Saint rear mech for £53 with postage.

    Thanks for the tip, just placed an order, saved myself about £60 on uk prices !

    Jezkidd – how does the rear shock feel on the Jabba Wood? The Bikeradar review slated the bike for the compression damping setup but it looked a little unfair to me.

    Just got the same problem still s8tannorm…

    Tried to order an XTR BB and get a (), no price and a £6 p&p charge!

    You certainly can’t. Wish I’d seen that before I bought SLX 10sp a while ago.

    I know about the free shipping – I was just wondering why my BB had dropped out of the basket and they were going to charge me £6 for sending nothing!

    XT cassette’s arrived in three days and there’s a free wallet in the package. They are OE if that worries anyone as they’re not in the shimano box’s. Personally I couldn’t care less so all good for me. 😉

    Dagnabbit! I’m all ready to press the button on my order but it won’t recognise the Facebook discount code wot I got. Does it take a while to filter through their systems or do Rose secretly hate me?

    translated into Englisch

    There are different types of sprockets for city bikes, race and mountain bikes. These come with different transmissions. To ride faster with the highest gear, select a sprocket that has fewer teeth at the smallest pinion. In order to have more possibilities when riding uphill, the biggest pinion of the sprocket should have two teeth more.

    Gotcha!

    Good deals though, cheers for letting us know.

    Not so much in the way of epic deals on Sram unfortunately.
