So I saw these for sale on CRC the other night with 51% discount (total price £197). No description and no picture but I thought they seemed a good deal and ordered them. Not quite sure what's going to turn up though!

Suppose I can always return them if they aren't what I'm expecting.

Does anyone have these fitted currently? Comments welcome !

2 things, firstly there are so much bad stories about CRC at the moment that I would look elsewhere regardless of the price, see the singletrackworld thread about the Turner frame packaging as an example, secondly I had Formula K18s and they werent that great performance wise and bleeding them was an absolute pain in the arse.

I had a set on my last Ellsworth, great brakes but bolts fell out of the levers, and parts are a nightmare to get hold of, there are quite a few horror stories about them, currently running XTR trails which are epic.
