Must say, I had the 1st gen DH wheels and they were fantastic. What I liked and still do is their honesty in the process. I have come across too many brands popping up that say they have UCI approval, this that and the forth. But they will never be clear on where the wheels are made, how they are made, substantiate anything they say on social media & their sites. But you give it a brief google search and aliexpress will be the first site that pops up. So its SUPER refreshing to know there is a local company out there that is transparent about their process. But I will say, they need to change their hubs if they have not already. Those bitex things were terrible. I have some TUNE hubs just waiting to be paired with some rims.

Once I bought from CRC as a poor poor student so I thought I'd be saving some money. My months of mowing grass, packing shelves got smoked my customs. Ended up paying almost the same value of the items, items sat at the post office until I could pay for them haha. But they did arrive in about a week.

Qhubeka seems like a retirement village....

Never. But look very Chinese import / brand yourself. Aliexpress pop's up when I search them. But I have seen a few sets floating around over the years.

Work terribly for me! Pittty they labeled as 'active' buds but ALWAYS fall out of my ears. They should have ear hooks or something. And Jabra dont offer any support!! Other than that, fantastic hahaha

Ah okay! Makes sense... I shall keep my money!

Do you know them? Are they a trust worthy bunch? Only reason I am asking, is because they seem to be very dead and website doesn't seem to be updated. Tried calling, but no answer as well. I did not know that their shop was closed, thanks for that.

Has anyone shopped at https://cyclefactory.co.za ?

To be honest, I do not find the ad's intrusive at all. In fact, I like them! I like to see who is offering what and give's you a bit on insight in to the world of selling bicycle components etc. And to ask for money now? I am already paying gym membership with no gym. Think I'll keep my randela's.

Completely understand where you're coming from. I have had, well still do have a pair of assos t mille bibs which are fantastic but the fabric started wearing after a year, which is cray to me. So a company can boast about whatever fabric they like, if assos will wear in a year I am sure the rest will. That's just my perception after dealing with that so each to their own. You never know, FA could be worth it. But i think you would only know after a long term test.

How do you try out a bib?haha Was this something First Ascent gave to you? I am on Fanie's side, that's a hectic amount of money to pay for something to give it a shot.

Looks like Cav is moving to Bahrain - Merida, Although a rumour but most likely to happen I think...
