  1. Great flats to start with. Pins aren't too violent.
  2. 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.
  3. You would think DHL’s fees were calculated when the sale was made.
  4. 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.
  5. Doubt it
  6. Unfortunately from US.
  7. Thanks for that.????
  8. 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.
  9. My experience with EVO Bikes has also been excellent.
  10. 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!
  11. 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
  12. I could be wrong but that looks like Cadence on the table in front of Johan Potgieter at Fort William World Cup DH yesterday. Looks like Pottie' s saying "Look mate, it's my Cadence...go get your own".
  13. Hi Steven...from CycloPro, talk to Andrew. As far I know I got the last size 36 blue but they might have other sizes.
  14. Hi...it's the Livewire. They're quite snug fitting bit still flexible.
