Hi all, Just got a call from DHL to tell me they are working out the vat/duties I need to pay, what should I be expecting to pay for wheelset & cassette. How does this work with DHL exactly? I can't believe that the wheels were in Ireland yesterday and already being shipped to Cape Town shortly Regards

Sorted myself out with a set of Fulcrum 5's from CRC, a steal at only R2350. Thanks for the info though

... it's been said that Chuck Norris prefers Shimano

That's what I've just got myself, and am very happy

Do it, I just made the jump onto a road bike and am loving it

Something is on its way from CRC, woohoo My last cycle purchase for a loooooooooong time. Goodies have already been dispatched, how long again is the wait for a CRC parcel? Parcel is already at Heathrow about to board a plane to Cape Town, If I'm lucky I'll have my goodies by Monday

Where from? That's cool, I like it a lot.

No, but free speech is Either way they are taking the piss, and should know about it.

Since its written in the constitution? I think it's right that they should know. I buy cycling related T-shirts all the time and none of them have been more then R200, oh wait the one imported T-shirt was R250.

Phew, lucky that won't apply to me

On a side note, who has tried Marley Coffee? My mate is the sole agent for South Africa if anyone is interested, and its awesome coffee as well, not dope included in the sale.

I will do, I will need too change over bikes though, don't want to be on the road bike while you're all on MTB's I'll be on my black Giant hardtail with white shoes & black helmut. I'll be that cool looking dude hanging out looking suspicious.

They had mine, so I bought two pairs

....well what time?

Looking for a carbon road wheelset, who and where and what to look at? I'm a complete novice and noobie when it comes to all this road bike. Thanks

Its called the Western Cape, come join us, it's flipping awesome down here

First outing on the road bike, happy days

I hear you , but then he can always move the parts over to a newer bike if need be. At R3k, he gets a better wheelset & brakes, he will spend a lot more for a complete better bike & components, even in the 26" range.

You could buy these, https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/66631-26-mtb-mavic-tubeless-wheels/ and then these http://www.evobikes.co.za/components/brakes/complete-disc-brakesets/shimano-deore-br-m615-disc-brakeset.html And then you in for just under R3K

I must say that these Sidi's are the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. They feel like sneakers, light & comfy, that's all one needs.

Decided to really splash out and got these babies, the are even more comfy then the Spez which will now go into the cupboard till they are needed. I'm on baked beans till Xmas now for sure.

Today's purchases Happy Days First road bike and will be christened after lunch today. The shoes were extra, couldn't resist.
