Those goggles are a pretty good deal. Was $24.95, now $32.95?

When was the DHF $109.95, have they not always been $55? $109.95 is more expensive than my sport tires for my car. Maybe these "Online Deals" are actually a system by the industry to make us get used to higher prices.

@abzillah: dhf 3cs are definitely not $55 retail. I believe the 3c retail is around 99 dollars for those. the dual compound maxxis are usually around $65 retail but you can find them in stores for less so that's what you have seen. the 3c carries a significant price increase even at the wholesale level.

Its illegal in California to mark up a price and then reduce as a "sale". I agree that i usually get DHF for ~ $60 at the LBS.

@abzillah: The DHF 3C EXO TR actually does retail for $109.95. Looks like TBS prices are in Canadian Dollars. On the Maxxis site the list price is $83USD which is 107.90CAD with todays exchange rate.

Are we that gullible that we're meant to believe $75 for a dvd is a deal. I know it probably has a lot of info on it but it's still $75.

Likewise with the brake pads. $70CAD/ £40 (!!!) RRP is ridiculous for ONE pair of BRAKE PADS for a BICYCLE. And let's not pretend $40 CAD / £23 is reasonable either....
I have Shimano brakes on everything, but damn....

It's an online program. You are buying a ton of material regarding diet, workouts, stretching, etc. It is essentially like hiring a personal trainer, but bike specific. They give you timetables and everything.

The training plan is legit...been using his previous program for the past year and it rocks...way more value than the $75 entry fee. I can't recommend it enough.

@tekk220: Sweet deal I know! All other pad makers are plainly ripping people off blindly. Plus so many different compounds to choose from.

The only "deal" here is the fox fork. Everything else is just overpriced.

Rubberelli (Jan 15, 2018 at 4:43)

The Camelback is a good deal. Of course, if you already have one they have a lifetime warranty and will send you a new one if it gets destroyed.

Take a few steps back and think hard about the prices being charged for these products! I know it's what the market will bear and more power to them justifying the cost but $800 forks and $65 tires on sale ?? wow

Lol. Try Shimano metal pads once, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say they are better than €5 pads.

@qreative-bicycle: no i have 2 Giant bikes .. with XT and elixir 9 brakes. Really happy with how it works ! And tbh, I don't use the brakes a lot haha so at the end of the day the cheapest solution may be the better option

$40 price stopped me from purchasing

@RedBurn: Try going faster. Good pads will be more important, especially when you are trying to use your brakes less.

People buy the same brake pads at my LBS for $72. $40CAD is actually not a bad price.

Smoking deal. I wish this were available when I bought a fork for my gf. I ended up getting one of the marzocchi 320 forks, which was also a great deal....but not quite as nice a fork.
