Your "heading" say 25%, but the cut & paste of the email says 20%. I'm guessing the 20% is correct.

You're probably right. Last year it was 20%.

And depending on what you're looking for, it may still be cheaper elsewhere. Given all the talk about wheels lately, I was comparing the the Hed 3 on different sites. They are cheaper overall at tri-zone than on tri-sports, even with the 20% off at trisports, because tri-zone has a lower regular price, gives 8-12% credit on the wheel purchase(towards other gear), and throws in free shipping.

If this is for their loyal customers, what the hell am I getting a promo code for, as I have never bought anything from these guys? Do I still get the discount if I have not been a loyal customer????

I am frustrated. I am going to go "hit it hard."

No, only customer get this 20% off email. I am signed up with two different emails. But only the email that I 'registered' with my orders got the discount.

This is also the reason I would not forward this email to a forum. If this sale is for customer only I don't give away this code. If they want that this sale is for everyone then they would have sent it to everyone who is on their newsletter list.

jmorrissey, I saw also that the HED wheels are more expensive at www.trisports.com then at www.trizone.com. The other products don't have that much difference. I don't know why the HED wheels are so expensive.

I realy can recommend www.trisports.com. Their customer service is great.

I'm not bashing trisports, I like them just fine. They usually ship the same day, their customer service is very friendly and accomodating, and their prices are pretty good. I was just pointing out that there are still certain items, such as the Hed 3, that can be had elsewhere for less.

BTW, I bought my wetsuit from them last summer, and ordered about $100 worth of stuff 3 weeks ago and didn't get the sale email, even though I got it last year, before I had bought anything from them. So I have no idea what "system" they use to determine who gets invited to their sale and who doesn't.

One more note: I think that they don't advertise the sale publicly because some products are not allowed to be advertised/sold below certain prices, and during this sale, they are certainly selling below those prices.

They don't track who gets the email and only give the discount those people. Last year Taku sent me the code and I used it to get a Polar HRM, my first purchase at Trisports. They gave me the discount with no questions asked.

Beauty. I plan on doing exactly the same thing, though because I'm international I asked them about it first, so they'll have a chance to reject me. Will keep you posted.

Trisports will make money even with the discount... they want to have people directed towards them as much as possible. It is in their interest to have as much traffic directed towards them... So I have to disagree with you that this is meant only for their customers

I gree, it makes no sense to alienate a whole bunch of potential customers at the beginning of the season.

One final note: They absolutely will not honor the sale before or after the advertised dates. I missed it by two days last year because I was away until after the sale ended, and they wouldn't yield. So make your list, and place your order. If you need to get sized for a wetsuit or bike, so it soon.

HED wheel prices at tri-zone.com and trisports.com are exactly the same.

That's not true. Tri-zone is selling the Hed 3 for $448.95 front/$524.95 rear with free shipping(this is their regular price), and an 8% credit for a single wheel, or a 12% credit for a pair. That's net $395.07/$461.96. Trisports.com is selling the Hed 3 for $510 front/$580 rear. With the 20% discount that's $408 front/$464 rear, figure $15/wheel shipping, and you're looking at $427/$479.

Any way you do the math, the prices are not the same. Check their web sites.

Just to back you up. I emailed them asking if they were OK with international orders, and they're fine with it. I mentioned the birthday special and even though I've never shopped with them before they said it would apply. HRM here I come.

Ok, I was wrong. I assumed it was for customer only because I got this offer only on the email address I ordered from.

The HED3 are much more expensive at trisports.com ($580/510) than at tri-zone.com ($449/429).
All other HED wheels have the same price in both shops ($449/524).
Zipp and Reynolds wheels have also the same price. Polar HRM are for most models cheaper at trisporst.com.
It looks that only the HED3 is significant more expensive at trisports.com. I will ask them why.

Last year I ordered a week before this birthday special (but with 15% off from xtri.com add). This year I knew that they will have a birthday sale in April. I will place a big order today (Renn 575, DeSoto clothing, Polar accessories, ...).

No worries. I've been spending too much time obsessing about wheels lately. I keep thinking that if I look enough times, the price will be $448.95(or free if you're Jeff Morrissey!). ;p

Also, I was only really looking at the Hed3's in particular.

I asked Debbie Claggett (Vice President TriSports.com) about the HED3 price. Sheanswered:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, HED has just raised prices on their H3 wheels.
Unfortunately, all of our stock is fairly new, so we purchased it all at the
new pricing. We actually didn't know until we received our last bill and
saw that the prices had increased.:(
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$510/580 is also the price on HEDs website. tri-zone.com might raise the price too. If you are interested in HED3 buy them now at tri-zone.com.
The HED3 is a great wheel. I bought a front HED3 last year at TriSports.com and used it together with a Renn disk for all my races.
