Van the man

Hey Guys Hope all is well. Im looking at buying a Canyon Bicycle online and shipping it to SA. Im I correct in saying I would pay 15% tax to import it. So this is my Calculation... R70 000 (the bike) + R5 600 (shipping) + R10 500 (15% tax) = R86 100 Man o man....starting to think this is not worth it?

Hi Guys and Gals I'm getting my sister into cycling. She is 153 tall with a shoe size of 2 (35,36). Where can we get entry level mtb shoe this small? She is also looking for a small mtb of around 10k.

So there is absolutely no way of entering this event? I would love to go so if anyone knows of a way please let me know.

For me Orange = KTM Internal cables would have looked better/cleaner Why put "xt" on the frame? If I decide to put a xx1 groupset on the bike it would just not look right.

Amazing you can't go for a cycle without looking over your shoulder. Makes me think even more negatively about this country (because the country's the problem). Was talking about this yesterday at a Braai. Lady was walking down the beach when a local mussel digger(smuggler) approach her with a screw driver, used to dig for mussels, luckily she had a full can of pepperspry on her(don't see people having a walk down the beach, with pepperspray, anywhere else in the world). After she spryed him she beet him within a inch of his life with the screwdriver's Handel. She's probably getting a lawsuit coming her way. Don't want to be negative. But don't think it's gona get better. Hope the guys get there bike back and they are ok. Hopefully get the guys behind bars(prison bars not Santa and spez bars)

Great. Thanks for the tips.

Cool thanks guys. So after almost a week of the bike I decided to go for a ride like you guys said. After surviving the traffic and crazy taxi drivers in main street. I mad it to Rhodes Memorial. Found a bunch of guys smoking something about 2kms in and decided it does not look that safe (to cycle the route by myself) cycled the Rhodes Hill a few times for the HR and head home. Snaking the taxis. What a stressful ride. Had a beer. Now to calm my nerves. Was I just a "moffie"? Is it safe to ride from Claremont to Rhodes Memorial and do the trail by yourself.... (remember I don't know the area at all)

Where can I obtain one?

Hi. Do you go every morning? Let me know would like to join.

Great Guys Thanks. I will be doing this today I think. Awsome

Hi guys. I'm from Hermanus, but will be in Claremont for the next few weeks. Don't know the area at all. Would like to get on the bike and keep up the fitness. Where can I go ride (mtb)? Where does the trails start? If you are in the area and looking for a partner please let me know. I'm available every day. Thanks
