Mar 25, 2003 10:43 AM | | i saw a really good deal on JensonUsa.com for some avid mech discs. They were 70 bucks for each brake. is this a good deal or not? Thanks |
| Yes, but | MTJ
Mar 25, 2003 10:52 AM | | It is a good deal, most places they're around $90. But read the fine print - they're "On Order" and who knows when you'll actually get them. They are great brakes though, so if you're not in a hurry, go for it. |

Mar 25, 2003 10:49 PM | | try pricepoint - I believe they're the same price. better yet - go buy the current BIKE magazine and get the Performance 20% off coupon. They will pricematch and then give you the 20% off - that's what I just did.
I think the coupon is in BIKE - maybe MBA? lots of threads on this recently in the best buys forum. |

Mar 27, 2003 5:57 AM | | I bought a set of avid mechs from Uni a while ago... they came in zip-lock bags and rotors were wrapped in newspaper! When I called the to ask WTF that was about, they assured me that Avid didn't give them boxes since they bought in such big bulk! I called Avid and they confirmed that they never ship their brakes without boxes, so the brakes I got were obviously OEM. There's nothing wrong with OEM, but lying to customers is very wrong. |
