If you are lucky enough that these parts will work for you there are some killer deals on Santa Cruz website. You need to go through each individual subheading to find them all, don't just look at the top heading.

$25 for 5th Element shocks
$35 Thomson stems
$150-200 RS Forks

Happy hunting

evdog....thanks for the heads up. I have been wanting to upgrade my old crankset and a LX Hollowtech w/BB for $55 is a smoking deal.

Glad I could help...


Apparently there were some RP23s for $90 earlier, but were all gone by the time I came across the sale.

This site is worth checking out frequently as they sometimes come up with deals like this unannounced.

I'm getting those too. It's one of those "too good to pass up" deals.

I noticed that those were only 170mm cranks. Is there much of a difference in feel between the 175mm and 170mm cranks?

I doubt the length difference would matter that much. I run 165 mm cranks on my track bike. I haven't exploded.

On the other hand, I'm getting a little worried about that site. I tried to check out and ended up with someone else's address:

Maybe just get these? Maybe not as great of a deal but...

Includes free ground shipping and no sales tax

I got a shock from Santa Cruz a couple of years ago. It's a great deal when it actually goes through.
They had DHX 5.0 coils on sale a couple of months ago and I ordered one but then got an e-mail two days later saying they had been swamped with orders and were sold out. Not good. That's the main thing that bugged me. Would've been nice to just not have been able to go through with the checkout process rather than think that I had purchased something only to be told later it's sold out.

I got me some of 'dem Oakley MX goggles.
