The spacers I have never had to deal with as all who ride em bought the right spaced hub to start with...but yeah...I guess $42 is a bit steep. As for cogs, up here in Canuckistan the regular price for a Dura-Ace cog is $32....$8 more doesn't seem ridiculous for a small batch, stainless cog. Also if we are gonna get into an over-priced discussion I would throw out there that here a single rear Dura-Ace hub sells for more than a rear Level does. This from a HUGE multi-national corporation that can pump these out in big numbers. I would prefer to give my hard earned $ to a small company..making stuff in small batches.. that is trying something new.
