Only the 54t and 36t ratchet retails for 170~190 from canadian distributor. Not sure why there's huge markup for those latter two ratchet upgrades.

Jenson says $94US for ratchet, springs [HTML_REMOVED] grease (a little cheaper just for ratchet):

The 36t ratchets were around $40-50cdn msrp when they first came out, believe it or not. It was a shock when they doubled in price after the first year. I can't believe they're to up [HTML_REMOVED]$150 now!!

yeah.. I remember buying them couple years back for just 40 bucks for a set.

Ya, with the +30% exchange rate, ~$150Cdn seems in the ballpark.
