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.

Thanks for that.????

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.

Fishy

My experience with EVO Bikes has also been excellent.

Ordered shirt from CRC 2 weeks ago. No tracking info on SKYNET site. Contacted CRC, they contacted SKYNET who said that there's a problem with my address(Been living there for 7 years). Also informed CRC about the ridiculous fees charged by SKYNET and CRC's response was just a lame apology for the delay, nothing about the fees. The shirt now costs more with their admin fees than it would have costed locally.

Had a BELL Super..hot as hell, looked like it was raining onto my face when riding...BUT...it did save my pip when I took a dive head first into the ground. Then got the IXS, comfy but it kept creeping down over my brow when going down anything steep. Now I have the Spez Ambush. Well ventilated, super light and once it's on you forget that there's a helmet on your head. Personally haven't had issues with the velcro or padding coming loose but I Detol mine after rides to kill any bacteria. Reckon it helps prolong the padding. I think the Leatt might be my next buy as well, good price and good reviews.

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!

Eventually got myself a Rocky Mountain Brand new 2014 Altitude...with full warranty at an awesome price...thank you mr store room who misplaced the box
