dezmtber Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Its a pretty good price really. cnc, made in uk ect... when most company's charge £65 for bent alloy tube. or £500 for lots of bent tubes welded together. or £15 for a Shimano spoke key, its just a double ended open spanner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewis.jackson Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 So we are saying that for uk manufacturing you can put 60% on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Similar price, not made in the UK: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/nc-17-sudpin-iii-s-pro-cnc-x-line-flat-pedals-2014/rp-prod112485 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/race-face-atlas-flat-pedals/rp-prod113354 So what I'm getting at is no.

HippY Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 simple it is a high quality DH pedal. DH parts are expensive and strong. So trials use them as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis.jackson Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Ok I'm starting to see what your getting at now but i still can't understand why so much money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Ok I'm starting to see what your getting at now but i still can't understand why so much money We can argue why an Audi is more expensive than Volkswagen, while they are built on the same platform, using many same parts and doing the same job Quality must be paid all the time. And this is a quality, high end DH pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
