    Definitely dodge

    Great flats to start with. Pins aren't too violent.

    Don't do it! Just buy local, less headaches. I bought a Smith Rapha Edition helmet from the UK. Paid R3000 including shipping but ended up paying R1800 on top of that in duties and taxes.

    You would think DHL’s fees were calculated when the sale was made.

    Ok, so ordered the helmet and paid R3600 incl delivery from the UK. Just got a mail from DHL that duties+vat and some random 10% extra is R1800. It’s definitely not worth buying helmets from outside the country.

    Doubt it

    Unfortunately from US.

    Does anyone know if the import duties for mtb helmets have changed like the motorbike helmet tariffs? Attached is a screenshot from the SARS page re motorbike helmets and motorsport helmets but nothing about cycling.

    My experience with EVO Bikes has also been excellent.

    Ride one..you'll love it! Yes, they definitely don't belong in races or on Strava but if you're like me who rides for the pleasure of riding and enjoys bombing down a hill but hate going up the hills then an e-bike is the perfect piece of equipment. I've seen a bunch of old ballies in their 60s and 70s on e-bikes having a jol. If it wasn't for the e-bikes they'd probably be sitting at home, watching golf on the TV. If you can afford one, get it!

    Hi Steven...from CycloPro, talk to Andrew. As far I know I got the last size 36 blue but they might have other sizes.

    Ditto

    The person I ride with the most has a Cannondale Jekyll and I always struggled keeping up going down technical trails. I still can't go as fast as he does but it's a lot better. The Trance makes it easier to ride a lot better.

    GT Karakoram 29er

    Yes, got them locally. You're lbs should be able to get them from Omnico. Did my first ride/hike with them today and I am extremely happy.

    Before I do my latest purchase, I'd like some advice from you guys/girls... Orange Giro Terraduros or Black Terraduros? Eventually got the black Terraduros

    I put a Hans Dampf 2.35 tyre on the front and it has made a world of difference. The Nobby Nic on the front made the bike feel like it wanted to go in it's own direction where the new tyre is a lot more controllable. I'm still amazed at how well this bike climbs, especially on very technical climbs with loads of loose rocks. If you're a bit adventurous and want to have more fun on your bike, then get a Trance!

    Hi...does anyone maybe know where I can purchase a 27.5 X 2.4 tyre? I checked all the SA online stores and none have.
  24. Oomkool
    Hi...where did you order it from? Local?
  25. Oomkool
    Ordered a Bell Super helmet from CRC on Saturday and paid the DHL rates. It was supposed to be here on Tuesday but only got to SA on Wednesday. Received an invoice for the taxes this morning to have it cleared. Had to pay R750 on a R1500 product which I think is daylight robbery. I would have paid the same amount at my local bicycle store for the helmet. Won't be ordering online anytime soon.
