Jenson buys alot of manufacture close out items. They must have a very good buying team out there looking for every deal, but they have to buy the volume to get the deal. It's amazing how cheap it is to manufacture a product after the design, tool set up, production is done. How many years have they Shimano been selling the same product? Thats called Bank!GCM said:What the catch here? These prices seem too good to be true...
Shimano XT M752 Crankset - $89.
SHIMANO XT® M750 REAR DERAILLEUR - $39
Are these 'standard' XT level components? Derailleur is not the "RapidRise" variety is it?
Nothing wrong with that...GCM said:What the catch here? These prices seem too good to be true...

... but still a good solid deal on both. I have those cranks, and they are noting but good... apart from the rings wearing out pretty fast, but that is true of all alloy shimano rings. Good thing there are cheap 104mm 4 arm replacements from other brands. The other downside is that there is only one bottom bracket in the world that works with them, the shimano Octalink V2 BB which is a tad heavy, but pretty durable. I'm 200# battle weight, ride a thousand or two miles a year and seem to kill mine every two years. THey can be had for $30 if you look around, so no biggie when they go. Much better than annual or less replacements on ISIS bottom brackets to the tune of $50 or more.GCM said:What the catch here? These prices seem too good to be true...

I have ordered lots of stuff from them in the past, nothing but good experiences. They tend to "blow out" stuff from time to time, and I typically jump on it.GCM said:What the catch here? These prices seem too good to be true...
I actually picked both of those a couple weeks ago from jenson. Not too good to be true just not the 'newest and greatest' so they're selling for less. The derailleur isn't rapid rise, which in my opinion is a good thing. The new M760 rear is rapid rise.GCM said:What the catch here? These prices seem too good to be true...

That is a issue i have had with Jenson in the past, their shipping & handeling is out of this world, UPS is way expensive.DMR For Life said:i think alot of jensons pricing comes from blueskycycling their prices we're less than jenson is at least a couple of the things that i looked at and blue sky ships USPS and thats a deal maker for me
