Pushys have free shipping...and cheap brake pads.

Damn, XTR gets more expensive every year.

25 hobos for an Pushys brake pad order to last a lifetime?

They are due to change brake standards next year, probably have 4% stiffer brake pads and 3% more aero.

Kinda not surprising. I've found web scrapers pretty hard to configure. They work for a while, then stop when the site redesigns something.
Maybe I'll get bored enough searching for parts that I'll give it a crack.

I think the other hard part for mth parts is the variation in naming protocol makes it hard to return all relevant products

Speaking of bargains... How do people track prices/availability on various sites? Manually?

Anyone built a scraper to pull availability and pricing from crc/merlin/pushys/mtbdirect/etc.

For the most part there is only 3 or 4 sites to check for variations - then I just google the actual part and see if something happens to pop up.

I also tend to find shop "A" is dearer on part 1 but cheaper on part 2 so I tend to look at the whole package.
I also prefer to order from the big ones feels more like I will get my stuff.

Every time there's free shipping, I can't remember the small things I want to buy.

Chain checker? Chain? Brake pads? Nah it'll be fine..

Pushys would do well to simply hold onto your order for a week or two and consolitdate shipping knowing well that you will buy something else next week haha!

That's less than 5 hobos

Would still finish the 5th I am not that cruel

If anyone bought one of those manitou circus forks and doesn't want it, I'm happy to buy it off you!

pushys freeship working for you guys or no? I can't seem to get a bottle of goop across the line.

Well pushys was easy in a google sheet with the importxml function... Then i tried crc, but ran out of lunch-break time to play around with which part of the code to scrape. Wasn't playing as nice.

I just bought a litre of stans (thanks to your reminder) with freeship - all went through fine.

Cheers worked last checkout page but not the main page surprisingly.

What would be even better is a shared Google Doc where we can update prices when we see them. I'm pretty sure you can see a date for when a cell is updated?
