  1. Just collected. Very very happy. Excellent quality!!! Really impressed. Will order again soon. Ek is oortuig dis die oorspronklike goed. Labels en als is baie proffesional. Grootes lyk ook 100%. Karl
  2. Just cleared all up. Collecting my parcel at Cape mail today. Ordered 3 items. @ long sleeve jerseys one cycling short. With shipping R850 went of my credit card. Total import duties and taxes are R475. Which makes the total R1325. So that is R440 per item. I still think that is not bad. Would of been much better without SARS!!!! Ill post about the quality and size later this afternoon. Will collect over lunch time.
  3. I just phoned Cape mail and gave them my overseas tracking number. The lady told me my package has been shelved by SARS and i now have to fax the invoice to them. I see one big imort duty being added here!!!! ****. Happened before importing rc goods. So Marius give them a ring. Maybe u lucky and it is on its way to your local post office.
  4. I have a crossmark rear and mono rail front - and as you said - die modder sit soos k@k aan n wol kombers on these tyres! Builds up so bad that one has to stop and sratch all the mud oput between fork and tyres the buildup is so badd. Mountain Kings the solution?
  5. Anyone keen to go ride part of Magic and the Hillcrest route this afternoon just after 4? Thinking of starting at the power station above Magic forest at 4:30 and then do Hillcrest, finishing in the Magic once again. Karl 0843507272
  6. Black is not a good choice of colour for MTB. Scratches shows very quickly. My next bike will be white.
  7. Pump the tyre to max pressure. This will alow the bead to pop out evenly. If u follow it now you will notice it does not run uniform. had the same problem. Fixed now by infalting them hard the deflate to desired pressure. Never be 100% true but they are about 98% true.
  8. The info I have from the net and from riders is that the American classic wheelset are the best for the money you pay (+-R4000). Weigh together just over 1.5kg and is strong enough for a 85kg rider. Going lighter on wheels compromises the strengt of the wheel. Get them in white, black and a combination of the white and black. just my 2c
  9. Hi there Anyone out there using Holdfast's toprunner roof rack bicycle carrier? Do the work well? Thanks Karl
  10. Just went ahead and placed an order as well - 2 long sleeve jerseys and a short pants. All came to R870 incl shipping. Even if all import duties and taxes cost me R500 it will still be a bargain! If the quality is as good as the pics shows! Will also let u guys know what I find in the post. Waiting to hear from the rest whom ordered.
  11. Hi there Finally my eyes opened with a bang to the world of MTB riding! I have done many road cycling. Lost interest the last 3 years. Dad talked me into buying a MTB and trying that. I live in Oude Westhof right next to Magic Forest, and cant believe I missed out so many years. Been riding it for last 2 weeks now but need to start riding with someone who has experience. Not 100% sure which routes to take etc (not fully using the single tracks and full route yet) Very keen to ride. Allso would want to start riding futher distances and flatter gravel roads. Magic seems very hard on the bike - good technical stuff which I need to master still. Thanks Karl 0843507272
