why are spikes so expensive???

[Mark James]

You are also completely goosed without them, so they charge a premium.

 

Hama, if you are reading this don't even go there, you freak!

 

[Mike Hill]

I imagine its because of volume of sales.

 

Its not like they wear out very quickly or get damaged easily.

 

Exactly.

 

My Spikes or "THE SPUR'S OF WRATH" as I like to call them,are a decade old.I only bought them because my former pari were nicked.

[WorcsWuss]

Doesn't look like I'll ever get an excuse to trade up to a set of ali spurs then....

 

I'll see your SPURS OF WRATH and raise you 'DESTROYERS OF TROUSERS'....

[MattyF]

Yes, bonkers.

The more you pay the less you get in some cases.

For example, I have a Carbon fibre bicycle that cost me £3k and weighs 8kg.

For £3k I could also have a running landrover that weighs rather more.

Ty

 

I almost read that as you had carbon spikes for 3k !!!! And nearly replied with you can get them for under £300 ..... oh, I just did !!!

Spurs of wrath, Fantastic !!

My spikes are steel bashlins with velcro top pad they do exactly what they say on the tin

[Johny Walker]

[swinny]

when you buy new you get them in a tin, wink wink, when you buy them second hand you get them in a box......

i got my spikes for £60 off ebay they're steel with velcro top pads and leather lowers, and also came with spares gaffs and brand new upper leather strap pads also! Bargain. I don;t see how they justify £2-300 for them either, its rediculous!
