Bikebuster experinece

Hi gang.
I was searching for a Chorus 10 cassette and came across an etailer in Holland (I think)
Lowest price on the cassette by far. Anybody have experience with Bikebuster?
Thanks
Dan

Denmark.

Their shipping is high. Like $50+ for small items, $200+ for larger.

Dan - is there a reason you are needing chorus? i'm having very good luck with centaur 10-sp cassettes, i think the weight difference is marginal right?

edit: looks like weight difference is 220 vs 248g, so a savings of 28g.

Thanks AS.
She has Record on there now but it is a second bike. Actually the new one is going on a new cross bike so wieght shouldn't be as big a deal for my weight weenie wife.

+1 on the high shipping. The invoice amount did not match what was on the site at the time of ordering due to their use of a significantly different exchange rate than the one posted on their site. The price difference amounted to about $60 for a pair of $600 wheels. I eventually got a refund for the difference but not without a lot of time and hassle. There was another miscellaneous "packaging" charge that was $10-15. In the end the price was among the lowest anywhere once it was corrected to match what was on the site.

if weight is not a huge issue to you, than centaur is definitely the way to go, you can easily find any ration cassette from ribble for well under 100, centaur is the sweet spot for cassettes IMO, especially 10-sp now.

Looks like they don't offer a 12/26 in Centaur which is what she needs right now. Nothing is easy when it comes to new cassettes it seems. Not easy to find a a 12/27 Ultegra (6600) either. And Shimano doesn't offer 12/27 Ultegra in the 6700, only 11/28 which won't work with a 7800 RD.

Just FYI, I run a SRAM 11-28 with a 7800 RD and it works just fine.
