Something tells me you work for Rudy Project? On principal I will never by anything rudy project
, no offense to anyone that already uses there stuff
That's quite harsh - why not? And no I don't but like all their Italian brands...perhaps for all the wrong reasons??
NIIICE!
Similar shock design to Ellsworth? - very nice indeed!!
Seen Bell, Giro, Specialised and Met mentioned here...want to throw another one in - Rudy Project and specifically the new Rudy Project Sterling helmet - best helmet I ever owned when I take the following into account. I do not see too many of these on the road and was wondering if any other Rudy helmet owners are happy with them too?
Comfort (padding is out of this world with extra bug net and extra set of padding) - removable and washable
Easy to adjust - dial on the back can be adjusted easily on your bike
Lots of vents
Weight: very light
Crash Replacement Policy - 65% discount on RRP - you never know...
Cool eyewear dock system - so simple but so useful!!
Price - I paid approx R1600 incl
I haven't crashed with it yet but it has 4 different safety certificates...
<P>Ok, I'm flying with my bike for the first time and is SUPER nervous!!! Just want to know what you guys think is the best way of getting my bike safely in Joburg. All tips/comments/advise would be appreciated<img src="https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley4.gif" height="17" width="17" border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="Big%20smile" /></P>
Just roll it in - have done the Lanseria / CTN loop with Kulula many times - no hassles. Just deflate tyres a bit and remove CO2 canister. Use some bubble rap to be safe.
Got a nice SCICON bike bag for my MTB recently from Bruce Reyneke - works very well if you want to be 100% sure – just take wheels off (they have a special compartment and fasten bike to grid structure inside bag. I got the soft bag (Aerocomfort Plus) - there is a hard case as well that looked fantastic but was too pricy for my pocket / bike...
...extra smoke lenses are nice for driving your car (clear lenses are UV activated and your windscreen has a UV filter if it is not older than 2 decades 
)...
Anyone out there using a pair of these with the photochromic lenses. What they like and do the tint ( change colour ) well. Im interested in a pair for road and Mtb.
Thanks
You can't go wrong. There is a promotion at the moment on these where you get a Rydon with these photochromic clear lenses with extra set of smoke lenses (FOC) and extra Rudy Project helmet (also FOC) - it is promoted on www.buycycle.co.za (you can see more info on this at www.asgsport.co.za)
Another option I looked at was the new Rudy Project SWIFT (see banner ad on the Hub) - it is being launched for R1290 incl (also with these same lenses) - again, look at www.asgsport.co.za (follow the "current ads and promos" link).
Also check out www.bikewear.co.za for pricing on these models.
Good luck.
My 2c. Tubbies are great for racing, but a real pain in the arse for training (the other 99% of the time you are on your bike)... I way 95kg and got me some MOST (division of Pinarello) Charisma carbon wheels (you get a tubby or clincher model) - I went for the clincher. Some other nice wheels with technical specs on the MOST website...follow the MOST link on the www.asgsport.co.za website -> click on "MOST online catalogue" to have a look.
Good luck!
i broke a spoke on one of my wheels a couple of years back... and the end bit is somewhere in the rim... you eventually don't even notice it
Can't really help - sorry!! What bike frame (make) is it?
Contacted the importers and the verdict is that the Photochromatic lenses cannot be fixed, buffed, or brasso'ed. Damn!
Send a mail to Heinrich@asgworld.co.za - this guy helped me under their "lens replacement guarantee" to replace my photchromic lenses at 60% off RRP (40%)...same as the helmet replacement guarantee Rudy Project offers (65% off RRP)...a lady from ASG (think it was Lizle) called me and it was sorted very quickly.
couldnt help but notice that the pinarello fp7 frame is 10grand cheaper then the distributors for sa....<img src="https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley24.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="Ermm" />
Are you sure - where did you see the FP7? Couldn't find it on the Buycycle site?
I buy where I get the best price, a lot of (not all) shops have a distorted view of service vs profit. You get better service when you are one of the regulars who spend a lot of money in the shops.( Been there , done that :-))
i also think the wholsalers are to blame in a big way - these SRP's are bull... How can Kieran sell a top-end Bottecchia frame handmade in Italy at R19k vs any of the others. A top end CIOCC devilry (900gr ISP frame) can be supplied in SA at around R20k.
I am on my way to Europe and have received quotes for a new Pinarello at 50% of the local price.
Eat... or be eaten
Where Bontie? Which model Pinarello. I shopped around - local prices on Pinarello was not bad compared to all web prices? Are you taking duties and VAT into account?? Local was even cheaper than CRC. Could get Pinarello Dogma frame locally - R44k incl ?
I think Pinarello FP2 and FP3 framesets are a great option... was checking them out on www.asgsport.co.za a few days ago after following a link in Bicycling Mag for a competition where you can win a trip for 2 to the Giro 2011...
Both are cool - usually buy Bicycling (more lasting value in my view) and will page thorugh Ride...also enjoy GoMulti.
Happy if D'arcs does it for you (work for you) - especially at the price! No-one said they came 1,2 and 3 in GIRO because of Rudy - a little insulting to suggest that...read original post.
Wow - that's heavy...and a little depressing!! ...on top of that it makes no sense
Who is your optom? I'll go get the Rudy's from him...
And another cool deal for Rudy Project - Rudy Rydon with photoclear + extra set of smoke lenses and Zuma helmet for R2347 !
Rudy RB3 is more than 10 years old - really crazy argument to even try and compare with Rudy (by the way did anyone notice Rudy Project riders got 1,2&3 in the Giro - not bad). Consider also Rydon was originally launched in 2003 and is still the best Cycling eyewear in my view - that model has a long list of awards won over the years and the ImpactX photochromic lenses are the best out there in my view. Also saw these new models on the new www.buycycle.co.za website - really cool!
Also had a issue with some shoes (to get correct size) - cancelled order in end. Still waiting for refund!
Monterrey, CA ? Bicycling magazine announced the 2010 winners of its popular Editors? Choice Awards at the Sea Otter Classic today. Heading the list as the Best Race Bike was the Pinarello Dogma 60.1. Taking over from the Pinarello Prince, the winner in 2008 and ?09, the Dogma?s award marks the forth consecutive year that a Pinarello bike has taken the coveted top prize.
Fausto Pinarello, President of Cicli Pinarello was elated with the victory. When asked about it, he replied, ?It?s fantastic to win this again. To have all of our hard work validated by the positive feedback from our customers and from professional athletes and awards like this is very satisfying. It?s great to get confirmation like this?
The Dogma 60.1 was introduced at the 2009 Tour de France by the Cassie d?Epargne team. The world?s first totally asymmetric frame, the Dogma 60.1 is made Torayca? 60HM1K incorporating Nanoally Technology? and utilizing Pinarello?s exclusive EPS? molding system. This the year the Dogma 60.1 is again being used by the Cassie d?Epargne team, plus the new Team Sky and the US based Bissell Professional Cycling team. Those attending the Sea Otter classic can see the Dogma 60.1 in action as the Bissell team contests the road races.
How much?
Finally some competition for CWC online monopoly...check out www.bikewear.co.za I visited the store in Pta two weeks ago during a trip and the ladies working there is a nice bonus too!! I have to say there prices are the lowest by a country mile and service was fantastic! Gauteng guys now have there own "CWC" in the North!
Hi there, best is to call Bernhard (he sorted me out through my own optom). His cell: 082 4562645. Think the insert was approx R600 without the script. My med fund paid for this and script.
