I weight in at a feathery 100kgs, probably 105 with kit, spares, shoes, and bottles, and my road frame has held up superbly so far... Feel more stable and confident on it than my old name brand frame... Fwiw...

Posted

Has anyone ever broken one of these frames?

I wrecked a road frame, but i had to do it at 50km/hr with the help a car of course :whistling:

 

oh and in the process i wrecked my both knees and shoulder blade in the process :oops:

Hey guys!

 

I hope you can help me. I'm interested in buying a 50mm wheelset from UAM (HongFu). Despite their interesting grammatical use and vocabulary their service is actually pretty good.

 

Anyway, costs are as follows:

Wheelset: $470 + 4% PayPal charge = $490 (rounded off)

Shipping: $120

Total: $610

 

What are the import duties I need to pay on this? I'm not quite sure what the rate will be or whether I'd have to pay VAT on the amount as well? If anyone could clear this up it would be very appreciated. If it turns out to be about 10grand in the end I might as well buy something from DarkHorse or Blackspade.

Phone sapo and get local tracking should be II or RI something. This way you can track locally

My supplier put a low value on my invoice. I paid R312 vat in December last year and didn't have any issues with customs. Wheels were delivered right to my door. :D
