Bianchisti Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Can anyone recommend a shop in Joburg where I can buy these? The hard case version. Any brand suggestions welcome. Thanks
Cycling Major Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 http://www.bikesafe.co.za/ I have one of these on that site... A bit bulky but the best protection for any bike you need... It straps into the case and can take any size bike without adjusting anything like handlebars or taking of the pedals... Works like a charm
Spinnekop Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Have a look at the Scicon cases. Very expensive but oh sooooo worth it! I own one. Best you can get! Contact ASG for pricing...
ChigginLeg Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Polaris Bike Box - I have one and have used it many times. You still need to pack your bike carefully and protect with foam lagging - as for any bike box - but it works lekker. I got mine from Solomons. http://www.bikebits.co.za/store/products.aspx?pid=6408&cid=
JGR Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I bought a cheap 2nd hand one off Gumtree for about R600 - works a charm

Spinnekop Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Yes...you got that for a bargain if I remember correctly....... Yip.....very fortunate! They are very expensive. But I had a look at some of the other boxes out there and the thought crossed my mind that I would rather save up and buy an expensive scicon than put my bike on one of those other boxes. On that note.We have traveled to Mauritius once or twice and a good bike box from you LBS works just as well. Just pack the bike well inside!

I tried them but they can't give me a RRP and the people they recommend don't have any. Any idea what they cost in Joburg. Ballpark figures is fine.
