I got mine for $424usd for the set delivered. Had to shop around online, but both were US shops.

price is with 19% VAT, without it would be 266 for the set (if one from canada would order it)

^^^ yeah with those links i got 160 euros which converts to $210 canadian per brake.

i just bought a set of front and rear of new zee's of ebay for $300.

FYI there is a post on ride monkey that shows how to add the the contact adjustment to the zee lever body by adding the right size allen head bolt. seems simple and cheap if one was so inclined.

Once you minus the Vat it is 266 Euros for the set plus 40 Euros for shipping so around $398 Canadian for the set delivered.

hm thats a lot for shipping, crc is much better in that. this is something the german shops need to work on, as most are way cheaper than crc but they mostly ship to eu customers

CRC pricing is the same as what you'll pay as retail in a Japanese bike shop. Anywho…

Back on topic.

Any reason to save a few bucks on the Zees or are they nothing but regret for not buying the Saints?

Zees are a great brake… I don't think you would regret the purchase.

Caps Langley is hooking me up with Zee's, front and back, with the Saint rotors (steel outters aluminum inners?) for $500 all said and done. Thats a good deal in my books considering I checked out CRC and the price they have is without rotors. Might be spending a bit more still, but no waiting period and warranty will be covered through the shop and not having to be shipped anywhere. Support the Local Bike store!

I'm happy to get outside and enjoy nature while I can, but I fear for the future of humanity
