I've seen that Merlin sell packages for Bar, stem & posts (3 different race face specs - Ryde, Evolve & Deus at £50, £95 & £130). Has anyone bought one of these sets - and is it worth opting for the pricier of the 3? I take it the main difference is weight?
Does anyone know if there are any other shops that do similar packages that might be worth looking at?
Cheers,
Rich.
bought the ride set at the beginning of the year - cant fault it
twin bolt inline seat post, four bolt stem, low rise bars
I got the Deus set at the end of last year. It's been OK apart from the seat angle slipping a couple of times
I don't know if there is other shops that do package deals but i priced up some stuff for my cousin the other day and found the race face evolve am bars and stem on wiggle a better deal. £54 ish for the pair
Ragley do a seatpost for £25 on chain reaction
Thanks for the responses guys, much appreciated.
Had a look on wiggle but they've sold out of the deus stems in the size I want. The Race Face ride package from Merlin looks the best Value at £50 - any weight benefits of getting the more pricey stuff is heavily offset by my beer gut anyway, and I've splashed out on other parts of the build where I don't want to have to replace things so I don't mind pinching pennies a little on the finishing kit as it can be upgraded over time if I feel the need or find some spare cash.
