kandui Posted August 9, 2012 Share Buy away.I think there aren't many on this Forum who haven't bought from Chain Reaction Cycles.I got a box of parts last week.Be aware of 15% Duty on a complete bike, plus 14% Vat on the purchase price on top of that. And a R30 handling fee levied on all orders by the Post Office. So do your sums before you hit the "Order" button.0% Duty on bike parts, just the 14% Vat and the R30.Have a chat with your Local Bike Shop (he might not know the acronym) and see what they can do for you. never hurts to ask.

HowellingWulf Posted August 9, 2012 Share Welcome to thehub treak@13. Do a search on the hub for "crc" or "chain reaction cycles". You are not the first to ask those questions. Try to get an order for over R3k and shipping will be free. If it is a bit steep, club in with some mates or fellow hubbers. The more you shop, the more you save!
