Dear Mr Bicycle Trader

9.99GBP for those. Per side. Plus shipping. Plus VAT and taxes. Sometime better to get local. From a decent LBS. Not Bicycle Trader.

 

Don't think those XX clamps will work with X7 shifters.

 

Actually, they look like they might, this is what I have and they don't work:

Nice. Didn't see they were the actual matchmakers. I'd still try local if possible.

 

I'll let you know about the seperate shifter clamps tomorrow.

 

At least you seemed to have solved your problem.

That shop is a complete waste of time. They haven't got a clue about bikes.

 

I was in there a little while back looking at some of the 2nd hand bikes and heard the old man trying to help a potential customer. He kept saying "This bike is also nice." (that was all he said).

 

He also seems to operate on about a 100 percent markup on his 2nd hand bikes. I found out from personal experience. It's not that I didn't want him to make money, but I had a huge problem with him lying to me when telling me what he was going to sell for.

 

I would take Cajees over this shop any day.
