What are the names of those other sites to get the new xt brakes cheap?

I got some off rose however they sent none matching leavers, 2 front brakes and 1 had no pads so I sent them back and just seen their lead time is ages off.

Rose prices worked out about £110 for the pair. Don't hold your breath; I emailed rose and they said none till september.

CRC do this just as much. Rose have delivered me 4-5 orders and never a mistake; this experience is pretty much shared.

Yeah I'm not blaming Rose but in this case it'd have been nice to get the right bits - only £12 more a brake from velo bikes so just ordered a pair - fingers crossed!
