I once saw close to our local hijacking hot-spot, a dude wearing torn and ragged clothing, smoking a newspaper rolled cigarette, wearing gum boots on PDM pedals, cycling a new R25,000 Giant MTB. Now I'm no Sherlock Holmes, and neither am I a racist bigot, but if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck........chances are, it's probably a duck.

Get well Ben. Very sorry to hear about your accident. My dad lost an eye when he was younger. Didn't hold him back one bit.....!

I'm happy with mine. Start at 06h30 with the rest of the 40-44 lunatics. Last to the top of Fox Hill buys the beers.

The Blue one is exceedingly gay. Why'd you pick him??? You want to share something with us.

Klapperknop.. thanks for all the advice. I went with the Vredestein Fortezzas which I purchased through my LBS. I try to support the LBS when I buy tyres and spare parts etc 'cos after all they're the guys who keep my ride running smooth and I do like the human interaction, and the peace of mind that comes when you know you can exchange a faulty item.

If I purchase from totalcycling what are the duties and import costs like?

I want the tubbies just for racing, hilly racing.

Hey Klapperknop, WOW you're correct. R999. Guess I'll have to get a third job if I want those tubbies.

It's for the hills that I want them. I was going to look at the Zipp 303's as an all-round wheel (no pun intended) but as I have an open-ended loan of a set of Hed Jet 60's I thought it was better to go for the reduced weight of the 202's.

Saw the Vredestein Fortezza's advertised on cyclingshop.co.za for R459. Is this a good price?

Which tubbies should I use for racing? I'm buying a set of Zipp 202's which will require me to change from clinchers to tubbies, which are the best one's that I can use for racing? Spartan SL2008-10-06 11:11:25
