Customs is roughly 15%, no import duties.
The ZAR/GBP exchange rate on the day of clearance applies.
No vat on overseas DHL.
I think DHL charges around R150.00 clearance fee.
Contact DHL express as soon as you have a waybill number so that they can send you an invoice to pay the vat, clearance etc.

In the past I always used Express Mail International, SAPO used to deliver at my front door, 3 to 4 days max. I haven't seen this option for some time now, so it's DHL for now.
I'd rather pay a bit more and get my goodies in a few days.
If they weren't offered the opportunity to check the torque on the seat post clamp before disassemble it's pure speculation. I would go over their head to spez global.
I think you have good reason to be upset, after all you bought a well known brand that is supposed to back their product.

Agreeable so, but you would at least expect it to be fit for purpose coming from a bicycle shop.
You bought a second hand bike, you cannot expect it to come without faults! The bad attitude from the youngster is totally unacceptable though...............

I'm glad you survived the ordeal to tell the story.
Blatant disregard for the law is fast becoming the norm.
I hope you feel better soon.

I'd say air forks...
Giant, Silverback and Merida are all good makes.
Titan entry level bikes aren't that bad, however I'd rather go for one of the above.

I am using the helmet and it's by far the nicest helmet I've owned.
Bought from CRC around R2K for helmet, shipping and import duties/ vat.
T
Tony are you using this?
Price and where did you buy?
I've got an 1000 Edge and find the unit is a little too big when riding technical sections.
I think one of the smaller Garmin units would be more suited for the Duzi2c.
I ordered a couple of these from Probolt.
Titanium available in a few colours.
6.5mm should be fine for Presta. I've never measured the inside hole.
inside hole :8mm
Outside hole: 6.5mm
Is this different from usual?
I'm not too sure of the diameter of the valve hole; you may need a reducer from a Schrader valve (8 mm) to Presta (6mm).
Slicks are a good idea, just have fun and enjoy the ride.
I'd go for a Pike or Yari, possibly a Revelation.
I went from a Revelation to a Pike on my Pyga and they are worlds apart.

That's one of the things I love about my Pyga.
Whenever I need a part, I pop in to Pyga and Patrick pulls a new part out from under the counter.
Waited over a month for a linkage for my Trance...
UPDATE:
I have pulled the trigger on a new complete sub frame from PYGA.
Thanks Louis from Knipe Racing for all the help you are a legend bud!
Thanks for all the advice and PM's I have received...much appreciated!
See you on the trails!
I'm in Howick next week Thursday, I can pop into the Pyga shop and see if they have one lying around.
I've seen a few parted out frames there so maybe there is a used one that I can broker a deal on.

Hi Guys
See my sad tale here...............
https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/166351-pyga-oneten-help/?p=3067476
Holding thumbs somebody know somebody who knows somebody who perhaps has met somebody knowing somebody else who maybe know a Mr Morewood
Pretty peeved right now!
Are you looking for the top or bottom section, and what frame size?
T
190 x 51 may work, hopefully someone has tried?
T
Bummer! Thanks man.
The rear shock is 184x44. A 200x57 doesn't work. (I've tried it)
The chainstay pushes up against the frame.
T
Does anyone know (of course someone does) the details of the rear shock on the 110? Length etc. would like to know if a Monarch Plus RCT3 200x57 would work or not.
Paid around R22k for my Lapierre Edge 327+ in December.

The quality is remarkable.
Just waiting for my 140mm Pike to arrive.
Input on which one

I was in the same predicament sometime ago and I wise man told to rather spend a little more now on a mtb with mid level components than a lot of money later once you've realized that an entry level mtb is useless.
I'd go for silverback sola 3.
