With respect to CWC but who in their right mind will pay R2400 for a brake disc? my 140mm is 20gr more and did not cost 5% of this.

And this is CWC's fault, yes. They should just sell it for R500, and carry the cost on behalf of those silly enough to spend that on a brake.

The same guys that will buy carbon seat posts, bars and stems.

The same guys that will spend R50,000 more on a frame because it has an italian name.

The same guys that will buy carbon railed seats.

 

Each to their own I say - if saving 20g and having bling gold rotors is your thing then great.

 

Nothing wrong with hyper expensive bling - it makes bicycle components cheaper for the rest of us!

You do not get R10 000 bars or stems

On the frame I agree

Carbon railed seats are not 500% more expansive then non carbon railed ones

if you can afford it then buy it...i dont complain about people with their Look bikes, cosmic carbon wheelset and then they get dropped in the first 5km...in the end its their money and if they wana spend it that way then why not...

One man's R10,000 is another man's R5000: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=50433

 

Some people own Lambo's which are a bit more than 500% more than your average Tazz.

 

The more money in the cycle industry the better - it means more choice, cheaper parts and more technology.

 

I agree it is insanely expenseive but insanely expensive is a relative term...

I wish the Raleigh and Silverback riders would stick to their heavy metal, and allow the not-so-cash-strapped riders to enjoy their toys! Those titanium rotors will look great on my carbon Merida 96 Team, just wished they had 180's in stock. Will give Jnr a call later today to see if he can make a plan for me!

Not that I am one of those who spend that kind of money. But still, enjoy!

Really, you bring up a Merida in a style contest? They are more common then Raleighs and Silverbacks combined. Imagine you disks cost 20% of you bike's value. How do you explain that to the insurance.

but that is why he needs that OVERVALUED disk... to give the Merida some value.

It's like me when I put Merc wheelcaps on my Citi golf when I traded it in. I got an extra R200.

Can't recall mentioning the price of my bike, so I don't exactly know how you calculated the percentage of my bike's value to my new rotors? But nevertheless, rather waste your time drooling about other peoples bikes, while I will use my time (and bucks) to go better and smarter. Thanx to my favourite on-line bike store for bring us great stuff at great prices!

I bet you don't ride with a saddle bag either ? But really comparing a Merida to a Releigh ?

Easy.... demand and supply. There is clearly a demand for it and CWC is supplying a product that fit that market. Basic business actually.

If you are put off by the price, the the product is not aimed at you. If someone with too much money wants to spend that on discs, good on them. Sounds like something Mr Kunene might be interested in, it should go great with the sushi. :-)
