    you could expect to pay anything over €300 for a set of discs so ur best bet would be to try city spares or another breaker for them second hand, and ull get the pads in any bike shop. ~€30

    front discs are always expensive. Not sure getting them from a breakers is the best of ideas but if the ones you have need replacing you might get some in better condition. Expect to pay around €25 euro per set of pads so if you have twin front discs it'll be around €75 for the pads. €30 is a little steep so shop around for something better. Please don't ride the bike if you need the parts. I know one person who thought that another week wouldn't hurt and ended up bending the bike frame.

    well.
    i rang around on saturday and got a quote of 150eu per disc from megabikes,
    who confirmed i could order today and collect them in the evening.
    i rang back to get the discs today, and the price has shot up to 210 per disc and a wait time of nealry 2 weeks.

    just for wasting my time i wont be ordering from them,
    anyone want to recommend a bike shop that will have them tomorrow?
