madbradd Posted February 19, 2016 Share And moer expensive!!!!!!!! The Rand/Dollar not helping. Ordered some wheels from Light Bicycle... 45mm rims on DT350 hubs - R12k for a set delivered in China! and extra USD 120 for delivery to jhb and that's still excluding and charges at the airport when I collect them and bring them in later this month...

Long Wheel Base Posted February 19, 2016 Share To my knowledge those brands you mentioned are all Chinese imports. There are now local guys making carbon hoops that look very nice. I forget their name.Yeah I think with darkhorse(possibly the others as well?) they bring everything in from China and then assemble them here. A few years back at the Argus expo at the darkhorse stand the one dude told me that. So I'm not sure it's still the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only the best hubs but you would also have save a bit of cash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Basically it was 669Dolla for the wheelset. plus 30 for shipping to my hotel in China, or 150 to JHB, plus paypal fee of 4%. I'm hoping that the guys at ORT don't see my big box when I fly in!

madbradd Posted February 19, 2016 Share Take the invoice with you and a set of used tires and tubes with you..... - otherwise you will have issues bringing it back - they don't generally put an invoice in the box. Used tyres and tubes would be a great idea! dammit though I don't have access to those before I go also it's 3 wheels and a rim... the rim might look suspicious with a used tyre on it. I'll ask them to date the invoice for last year some time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't take a chance screwing SARS around, they're flippen efficient nowadays, and don't like it when they see a potential revenue stream being eroded. Just my 2c worth.....

Just my 2c worth..... Yeah, SARS is doing a good job of collecting money.... I hear you my issue is that a) that money goes to Nkandla and b) JZ is the reason the wheels are so (much more) expensive in the first place! Not trying to derail this into a political debate.
