still looking for that transmission cassette for a second wheelset, only thing I was able to find was 15% discount + tax, not a great deal 
does anyone know of any better deal?
Jenson (and Planet Cyclery?) are blowing out Fox//Marzocchi forks & droppers for 50-60% off. Things that sell for $450 as new take-offs on Pink Bike classified are going for $300. A good time to buy if you think you might want something, you’ll be able to resell it later if you don’t need it.

Alright fellas - who knows where the cheapest SRAM components are?
Looking for Force or Rival
2x or 1x I don’t care but need brifters, derailleurs and a cassette. This will be for a Gravel race bike
I really should have pulled the trigger on the 105 or ultegra last month - complete idiot for not doing that but circumstances have changed.
Someone posted the link to Merlin Cycles above and I bookmarked it. Some great deals: Groupsets | Sram, Shimano & Campagnolo | Merlin Cycles

Thank you! I will review but man that di2 105 on TPC was an absolute smoke show (it was like $500 or something crazy).
I have them down and their $599.99 1 x build kit would have been perfect but it has been out of stock for as long as I can remember.
Maybe I can do their force shifters and a Rival RD

Probably not what you want, but could be an option though it’s a bit on the porkier side… C: SRAM Apex/GX AXS 52t Drivetrain Kit - Includes; Shifter/Brake Combo Set, Crankset, Rear Derailleur, Cassette, Chain, Battery, & Charger - Two Hoosiers Cyclery, LLC
I think more places will continue clearing out inventory so you may able to catch something on sale again. The industry is struggling right now and it will probably get worse before it gets better.

That’s a cool combo and I would be open to Apex Brifter/RD if the price was right. The bike will never need more gearing then a 40 x 10-44 with what I race or a 43/30 x 10-33 (a 46/33 x 10-36 actually would be a cool setup for me)
You can get Rival derailleurs for reasonable prices on eBay especially the used ones. I have not been able to find the shifters at a decent price anywhere.

Bikecloset has just the right side for $99 (which is an all time low price). TPC had both for a while for $150 but they are gone now.
How did that happen? Did you buy it?
I thought Merlin went belly up and was only shipping to the UK now?
i CLEANED up on a whole bunch of stuff right when the crazy sale prices started

Interesting, I wonder if it was a mistake since that price never returned later. Nice job. I still have a pile of boxes of groups and my SO is on my tail about clearing it out.
Ill give you $100 for that Left Rival shifter 
How about $150 for R&L lightly used Rival AXS Brifters & Calipers? I’ve got a set. They are very lightly used but I can’t guarantee the break hoses are long enough. Happy to measure for you though.
