JCG1 Posted August 16, 2013 Share I have spend way to much money on buying bike parts from CWC (best service and prices by the way)online. Anyway I needed a set of disc breakes for a project and fond what looked like a good deal from Evobike. Being the first time I was going to deal with them I phoned to confirm that it was indeed a full brake set and placed the order after being told that it is a full brake set. Now was I wrong to expect the following in a full set?Front brakeBack brake2 x rotors2x adapters 8x boltsThis looks more like I got half a set of brakes that was striped of a bike.

MTBeer Posted August 16, 2013 Share don't think rotors are ever included in a brake set. Steven Knoetze (sk27), TopFuel, M L and 2 others 5 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/129826-have-i-been-ripped-off/#findComment-2029171 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed-Zulu Posted August 16, 2013 Share don't think rotors are ever included in a brake set.Have to agree...bought two sets of hydraulic brakes, brand new, the past 5 years, only diff's were mine were in boxes, no rotors, no bolts, no adaptors...thats aftermarket items Edited August 16, 2013 by Ed-Zulu Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/129826-have-i-been-ripped-off/#findComment-2029179 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roulier Posted August 16, 2013 Share Always had good service from Naas and the guys at Evobikes. Stripped off a bike? I don't think so. Drop him a PM if you want clarity on your order. I'm sure he'll shed some light on the matter. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/129826-have-i-been-ripped-off/#findComment-2029193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairyLegs Posted August 16, 2013 Share http://www.evobikes....-set-white.html Too me it looks like they are offering rotors with the complete set. Hairy 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/129826-have-i-been-ripped-off/#findComment-2029196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
whistler Posted August 16, 2013 Share Sorry dunno what happened there... Back to topic, when I bought a brake set, also Avid, about 2 years ago from a reputable online retailer, it was boxed and included everything mentioned in the first post. Yes, rotors as well... Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/129826-have-i-been-ripped-off/#findComment-2029197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChunkyMonkey Posted August 16, 2013 Share What would you do with 8 bolts anyway...Mount 1.5 rotors??? Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/129826-have-i-been-ripped-off/#findComment-2029199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilton. Posted August 16, 2013 Share I agree with the MTBeer and Ed-Zulu. Just got M615 Shimano brakeset in boxes. Comes with fixing bolts for post-mount frames and forks, but no more. Adaptors are only if you decide to upsize to 180+mm rotors, or have older IS mount points, in which case you'll have some serious searching to do for the right adaptors. Rotors are almost never included. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/129826-have-i-been-ripped-off/#findComment-2029200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLMTB Posted August 16, 2013 Share A mate of mine ordered a brake set from CRC last year, he got it in a box which included the brakes, rotors and bolts (no adapters). Â In SA it seems that its the norm that rotors are sold separately.

JWF Posted August 16, 2013 Share I have also had nothing but good service and value from Evobikes. I bought a set of Sram XO brakes from CRC and got the same as you did, no rotors no adaptors no bolts. I recall that when I bought rotors they came with bolts and the adaptors were specific to type of mount iso or post and the size of the rotor 140, 160, 180 etc. and also bought separately.

BrandonF_ Posted August 16, 2013 Share Shouldve contacted and clarify before posting here, its the right thing to do. They have a great reputation and won't need to do you in on a rotor or two to pop some profit..

Azonic Posted August 16, 2013 Share http://www.evobikes.co.za/components/brakes/complete-disc-brakesets/avid-elixir-1-disc-brake-set-white.html If its those brakes, the picture shows rotors. You get what's in the picture.
