Wyatt Earp Posted November 12, 2013 Share I also prefer a 26er and was chatting to one of the tyre reps this morning.He says if i change from a 2.25 to a 2.4 it will be very close to a 27.5.Not sure if anyone has measured this? Yes, and true. gummibear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelhicks Posted November 12, 2013 Share Nice one Nige!How much did SARS demand of your your retirement funds for it or was it just the VAT? The SA500 Form showed only Vat - which is sweet - But the forms are still at FOREX now, (I had to submit them) so we will see if FOREX are poopals and charge me more - but i doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't be charged any extra then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They add 10% to the vat and end up with 15,4%. If that is what you were charged then you are golden. If you were only charged 14% there may still be a 10% charge coming. Not guaranteed, but that is my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelhicks Posted November 12, 2013 Share Thats fine ... Im not phased - its been through SARS etc and they put the Tax stuff in etc. So the SARS MRN value etc was set at R3500 or so ... If i have to pay an extra R400 so be it. I have my frame - thats what counts Grebel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 13, 2013 Share SO. International Trade sent the wrong item. So this: Has been replaced with this:http://www.coloradocyclist.com/img/product/full/k/ksskkmjq.jpgYes, it was a little bit more $$. But only just. With the additional shipping and stuff factored in, it would have been R 300 more than the i950. And, it gets rid of the cabling "issue" Hairy and Thug 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
