The Good Deals Thread

I’m interested in their 9 speed but the negative is if there are issues your kinda stuck. The price is hard to beat

supposed lifetime warranty, but if they go belly up, thats that

My thoughts are if you are still running 9spd, buy some of the lower line Shimano stuff. I just replaced shifter, derailleur, cassette (sunrace) and chain for like $100. Big deal, not LX, obviously not LBS, but throw a chain on it every so often, and it will work flawlessly for a long time. At that price, I'm considering upgrading the kids' 24"ers as well.

I ended getting the 780 carbon bars. $57 shipped.

Mathers is referring to the new 9 spd line from Box (#3) which has a wide gear range up to 50T like Eagle but only has 9 clicks. 9 speed from SRAM and Shimano IMO is some of the most bullet proof parts out there. But the gaps in gearing between 11-50 would feel strange to me.

My son identifies new stuff in the garage, and specifically on my bike, in an incredibly short amount of time. Like anything; new bolts, new chain, i wouldn't be surprised if he asked me if I re-cabled my bike when he never saw me do such.

Did you get the group yet? I just checked and they still have a couple available at that price.... curious how your experience was.

One up 170mm 30.9 dropper for $110. And apparently they come with a shim that can easily adjust the travel to any custom amount down to 120mm. That's pretty rad.

Hey, I’m running a Box 2 Prime 9 and I love it. I also have a Box 2 1x11 on my other bike. I try not to be brand specific but at this point I’ll only run Box drivetrains.

Crazy deal on used pressure treated boards. I'm thinking bridges and features. I don't know all the trail maintainers yet. Here's the deal.
Used wood

 

[Jmann]

At $130 for the whole lot, I’d chip in if someone builds some cool trail features with it. If I didn’t have 10 projects going I’d have a good excuse to build a deck.
