  1. looking forward to this one - 1X10 lets do it
  2. there cuculation indicate the duty is only applied to the product not the insurace - which is correct no duty paid on insurace so that through the calcs off I am trying to understand how they worked it out but they tell me one thing and when I apply it it does not work out frustrating but ill get to the bottom of it
  3. its falls under tents and all investigation I did prior did not idicate any special duties - i used the customs 650 odd page document
  4. must be wit postage
  5. I posted here a while back on importing and duties and some one from SARS customs mailed me - if you read this please PM me I have a issue and need help. I imported a Event Tent from Germany - a demo The value on the invoice 1199.25 Euros and 270 Euros for Insurance . SO Dawn King Charge me and I asked them to explain the charges. I attached the document and the last page has the charges on . I phoned and asked they must explain to me the charges so that I can understand how they manage to get the two values ( customs duty and VAT) and they could not . The agents tells me 1.I must take the total value of the good and add 10% customs levy multiply by 14% then you will have the total VAT amount 2.When calculating duty you take the total value of the goods add 10% customs levy and multiply by duty 20% (depending on the type of commodity .) mine is 20% So when doing the above the numbers juts don't add up I keep asking that he must explain and he says we are doing it manually and therefore it will never work, the system does it automatically and it will never match. Can any one assist on explaining this that does imports? I understood I will pay 10% AVT then 20% duty ( for the type of import) and then 14% VAT His calculation has another 10% thrown in and none of the figures he can support with a calculation . Any one with experience in this assistance will be appreciated dawnking.pdf
  6. he doesnt look like one though - I thought the police were doing patrols there
  7. ja thats BS how can they charge and not provide safety whats the money for ?
  8. drove past yeaterday and saw a massive hole in the fence on fountains side - certainly not good dont they check the fence daily ?
  9. So it would seem there is clearly merit in the complete setup as opposed to just a Wolf chainring and clutch RD .... or I could just be way off and talking complete rubbish there is merrit but the price kicks the merrit out the door - :)
  10. 34 t front and 1134 back but will move to 1136 later crank xt with hollowtec 2 BB - all works well
  11. u can always go 1 x 10 - saves allot of weight and wont cost a fortune - just did mine for 2k
  12. the added benefit is that after a muddy, dirty and wet race u can go home take off all the bits and do a proper clean on the bike - every time u do - u learn and it becomes easier DIY is the way - rather spend money on tools
  13. what I do nt undestand is the same complaints after most races with regards to bottleneks and races merging - orginisers how difficult can it be to split the races cmon ?
  14. not cool - death threats ??? Gees maybe its wrong but your response is a bit extreme Idd say
  15. loved the Lion
  16. go for it - I also decided to go the DIY way and last night my first project to make my 2x10 a 1x10 and the feeling of accomplishment when it all worked - priceless just do it
  17. running 34 t front and 11 34 back - next casette I might go 1136
  18. u can covert to 1x10 for less then 2k - just did mine
  19. just go 1x10 its fantastic
  20. I like innovation and when people see a gap in the market and take it well done wolf
  21. changed to 1x10 using wolf and extremely happy - no need for XX1 - overrated and overpriced - juts my opinion don't get angry 2k vs 12k ill take 2k
  22. if a bully keeps hitting you he will only stop if u show him whos boss - just saying
  23. the pony clamp u can get at chaimberlans for 250 or decent one 430 I tool the decent one pressed wood sheet at builders was 180 but u only need 750x750 which will be less - I made the base double sheets because I had more U can also just fit the first section straight onto a wall which will require less material - but u may have to weld the pipe onto a plate and bolt the plate onto the wall the threaded pipes with the corner and joint was leas then 200 - I weld the pipe to a plate and bolt the plate to the wood - I did not pay for this and the wood for the clamp also got free I think u can build thia for 500- 600 easy or even cheaper if u have time to source some free stuff most expensive bit is is clamp -pony clamp
