Online Deals - April 2018

 Will they deliver overseas??

 Please go on, you have my full attention and interest.

 Got a promo code?

 Pairing just the right wine with each flavor of pie is a vastly underrated skill.

 mmmmmm...... pie.

 But the cake is a lie...

 BETter than anything on here

 that sounds delightful!

 It's not a sale. The "MSRP" is last year's price, from before Intense went direct.

They are simply showing Intense's regular prices and calling it a sale.

 @manuni88:

The sale price that is being advertised is the regular everyday price available on Intensecycles.com and through Intense dealers nationwide.

 Dispointed for not seeing the M29C here

 Scrolling down and waiting was quite Intense.

 Shimano should definitely run a 28.99% off sale.

Preferably on things that would have been 30% off.

 pretty please, make this happen, it should be but a checking box in your CMS..

 but then they can't get the additional site visit when you inevitably return

 Just as Intense as the past deals IMO

 I've got the Guide RS and can vouch for this issue, but their warranty department has been awesome and ships new brakes right away!

 I had the locking lever problem and it took sram 7 months to fix them and get them back to me. I bought a set of Shimanos and never going back.

 Unfortunately I never managed to lock up the guides I used for two days last year...

 i've not managed to lock up either pair of mine, one sets from 2014

 Well, nobody's here for these sales...

 @emarquar: DVO seams like a deal

 @properp: And what about the half off Pike RCT3? Not to mention pleasing all the 26 for lifers... Where are they?

 @H4m-human: right....

 They are not. Look at the pricing they are showing and the pricing on Intense's website. It is the same.

 They're good bikes. They recently changed their distribution model to customer direct and so dealers have been trying to clear inventory over the last year. And now their brand new bikes are cheaper from intense directly, so other online retailers have to match.

 They aren't (constantly being sold with massive discounts).

They used to be, back when they were overpriced just like the majority of top-name bikes are. But now that Intense has gone direct and dropped their prices from "OMG WTF" to just "wow that's expensive" retailers are resorting to trickery to make it look like bikes are on sale.

The prices that Cambria is advertising as "sale" prices are just the regular everyday prices. The prices they are calling "MSRP" actually don't even exist. They are fabricating discounts.

 Probably a reflection of the popularity of the WT tire 'propaganda'.

 Yup...saw the same thing and now it's changed here. Probably a typo?? Although $99 would have been awesome!!

 Not a question

 @bishopsmike: not an answer. I am experience with a pike and own several in think they are great. I have never owned a DVO. If you have I would love to hear about it. Is the DVOs extra 200 plus gram worth carrying around.

 @bishopsmike:
Right, MRP all the way

 DVO hands down. Smoothest fork out there.

 Pike beats dvo, mrp rules all

 Do not get dvo i am on MTV third pair through warrenty they always have issues they work great when they work but the never seem to work save weight and buy something else

 My*

 @properp: I own a Pike, Stage, and Diamond. The Diamond is my favorite. Takes longer to really dial in but you can get very picky about your ride - there’s an adjustment for whatever you want to change about it. It’s more plush off the top (which is something you can change w/o messing with air) and is, IMO, more stiff than the RS or MRP. Midstroke support is great, ramp up feels great. The only limiting factor for me is that it does not extend to 170 if you have the 27.5 non-boost model.

 @scvkurt03: thanks for your useful reply. I am considering purchasing one. I already have several pikes. It is a toss-up between this dvo, the Cane Creek helm, or an MRP. The dvo definitely seems like the best priced with the sale out of the bunch. Have you had a warranty claim or had to deal directly with dvo yet. The only reason I ask is people keep telling me Horror Stories of the forks are great but they have no longevity. I only expect any suspension product to go 1 season before it needs Servicing.

 @properp: I live about 15 minutes from DVO. I bought my fork used, brought it into them and they went through it for no charge. I had an older model and they had some updates with regards to some seals, oils, and greases they switched up. Full rebuild of the Diamond and an initial tune of my brand new Topaz (that I didn't buy through them), again no charge. The Diamond developed a clunky noise on rebound a few weeks later and he again went through it... somehow oil was low. Maybe he got distracted while we were shooting the shit while servicing on the spot after I brought it in at 4:00p on a Friday. I'm willing to give them a pass for this.

It has been perfect for a year, when I decided to use the rainy weather to take it in again, just for regular maintenance. Full service on Topaz and Diamond for $100 out the door.
