Ok, so many people have been asking me where I got some ridiculously good deals...

 

So with thanks to MissionS (for sharing the secret with me)...

 

Here it is...

 

www.probikeshop.com

 

They're a French based online store. They ship to SA (so make sure to change your location to SA to get accurate prices), and they're pretty darn cheap!

 

Advantages

  • Brands that CRC doesn't stock
  • Often cheaper than CRC
  • Product filters (ie. can filter forks according to axle size, travel, steerer etc)
  • Fast UPS shipping

Disadvantages

  • Not as big as CRC so not quite the same range on all parts.
  • No free shipping

But, shipping is at a fixed fee of either 35Euro (Standard) or 40Euro (Express).

 

Some some examples (which I have purchased) as a comparrison

 

Troy Lee D3 Stinger

  • CRC - R3820
  • Locally - Good luck finding one. But probably about R5000
  • Probikeshop - R2010

Continental Mountainking II 26x2.4 Tubeless

  • CRC - R455
  • LBS - From R550 to R750
  • CWC - R499
  • Probikeshop - R300

So yeah, as I've said before, there is no "get-it-all-cheap" shop... so there is still need for CRC and others. But Probikeshop is definitely worth bookmarking!

patches, since you're letting secrets out, maybe it's time to tell peeps about your man-crushes on certain DH riders…

Somethings should rather stay in the closet :eek:

He's a legend, Llike Mr Minn... but nope... not quite man crush worthy. Like with most man crushes, it's all about style!

you calling Tracey a "man crush"?! eish! that's not going to get you very far!

 

But to answer your question... No! She's still on my lady-crush list!
