JT! Posted September 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Believe it or not, the walk in shop doesn't have an online site http://www.hbtrials.com/menu_en.htmlhttp://www.thetrialsinshop.com/http://www.cycleswest.ca/^ I think there are a few others, but those are the main Canadian shops.Canada must have higher taxes because that stuff is pricey!

haydon_peter Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 If your buying brakes you might have trouble getting "moto style" ie front with right hand lever, without special ordering.....How come?Well in the US (And most countries other than UK) the brakes are the other way round, I'm sure you already knew this anyway. So if your running a shop in the US and you stock brakes that are bled the UK way, so left lever being rear brake and right lever being front brake, you aren't really going to sell many without the hastle of re-bleeds etc...It also surprises me that 'UrbanLegend' managed to get Hope stuff cheaper in the US compared to the UK!

Not as much as some stuff but defiantly cheaper.Yep, rear brakes come with right hand lever........Webcyclery is the only place that may have them in stock moto style..Belive me, i grew up in Wales and live in the US now, and its a right pain in the arse getting brakes. I had to special order my mono trial directly from hope!!!You could try http://stores.ebay.com/Monk-a-Moo-Mountain...genameZL2QQtZkm if you have plenty of time. You wont find cheaper and he will get you "moto style" Edited September 18, 2007 by muddyfox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
