MarioH Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I'm amazed at the time people take to "Rant & Rave" here when the product image & description http://www.buycycle.co.za/en/components/mtb-en/brake-sets/shimano-brake-sets/shimano-xt-m785b-brake-lever-and-caliper-black.htmlon BuyCycle, clearly shows a XT brake lever & calliper, while the option states "Left - Front" or "Right Rear". Then there's the price...eish !Everyday cellphone companies are blatantly "ripping" their client's off by selling them something & then saying if you haven't used it by a date, you "loose it" ! How can you "loose" something you paid for.......???So stop all this time waisting & go "Rant & Rave" on the cellphone companies FB pages & stand for a actual "cause" !Amen

nolipoli Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Glad you had the time to come and share your opinion with us Jimi. But shouldn't you be following your own advice? Just a little bit ironic, maybe? DIPSLICK and MarioH 2
canadonis Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 But I think that the point he is making ... you see an 'unbelievable' deal and you investigate ....only to be misled I hear you and understand your frustration, I think the following approach has been mentioned many times on the Hub, ' if it sounds too good to be true, it often is' As regular hubbers we have an idea of the cost of components so can we honestly Believe a retailer to sell anything at 50% below rsp? It's marketing buddy. You and many others opened their site based on this advert and ok granted May not have purchased the brakes but others may have bought something else of interest and the company achieved the desired outcome.

ChUkKy Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Anyone else feel a bit duped by Buycycle.co.za's e-mail pamphlet advertising XT brake sets for R1595.00, but when you click on the link it's clear that a "set" is for caliper and lever? I think this is classic click-bait and misleading advertising. Consumer Commissioner would have a field day with this. No disrespect but they are Afrikaans and it could be a really simple mistake. I once heard an Aunty complain at my old company that her "feetS" was sore. Little after did I realise she was talking about her foot. Just saying Patchelicious 1

Wyatt Earp Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 A brake set is a brake set.Front and rear brake, same as shoes, you don't advertise a "pair of shoes" if you only want to sell one shoe.The advert should read XT brakes R 1 59....whatever per wheel.

NoI was on their site a few days ago to purchase Dura Ace calipers and was pretty clear to meYou are huffing and puffing about nothing

That is exactly the OPs point, I guess. You opened their website as a result of a misleading ad. Bait marketing, whether intentional or not.
