Rubber tip on the brake rod

Almost $14 to ship it?
Even their smallest flat rate box is $11.00 and you could fit 500 of those grommets in it.

yes, but... you still gotta pay somebody to pick it, box it up, print off the label and tape up the box.

brewer's absolutely murdered me on a speedo gear, but that's the price of admission. they have the website, they have the part, they have to pay to stock it, they have to pay for somebody to throw it in a box and send it my way.

it is what it is, and i'll gladly pay that extra few bucks knowing that i'm supporting a business that supports our hobby. i remember the dark ages of getting on the phone and tracking down parts and sending cash or checks via USPS and waiting weeks hoping the right stuff showed up. that extra $5 on the shipping is the tax i'll pay for having more parts than we've ever hoped right at our fingertips delivered quickly.
