Headshot Posted May 19, 2017 Share Almost 2k then, still a good price but I scored one of them super comfy awesome new Leatt DBX 3.0 All Mountain helmets locally for around the same price.I have a relative bringing mine in so none of the extra costs apply, luckily, making it a proper bargain. They also have shoes on special - Hellcats for R1200.00 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my D5803 using TapatalkProblem is more the receiver for the towbar is not common in SA - not sure that a friction mount on a ball will take those loads - but ping ampandy if you want one built...

Andy knows his amps.... The towbar looks like the normal detachable towbar mounts, the other real brainteaser will be to build something this whole rack can just simply drop down backwards so one will be able to get into the rear of the car/bakkie. I guess if or when I need something like this, I'll build it myself as well.

[emoji41] Sent from my D5803 using TapatalkProbably be easier to build to just swing to the side - saves having to worry about where the balance point is - 4 or six bikes on a badly balanced rack could give you a solid knock on the pip...

[emoji41] Sent from my D5803 using TapatalkYes this one can fold backwards, and if you make your own then a simple double pin like on the old trapezium racks will work. Also a similar towbar mounted plate to the holdfast one can work. Edited May 19, 2017 by Eddy Gordo BSG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji41] Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk It's actually a 2inch hitch receiver which is a square tube receiver and you can get them but generally only for 4x4 or your off-road vehicle. The towbar guys have told me that they can do a modified one for a car with a towbar and yes you could have one of those made here but it won't be able to tilt or swing to the side.

With steel, grinder and a welder anything is possible. I've got a friend who does 4x4 modifications, I'm sure it will not be a big problem to have one made.

DoomedUser Posted June 13, 2017 Share Are there any shops in SA that stock the Giro Swichblade helmets? From the official site, Omnico is listed as the distributor. I enquired from them but the reply was to get from overseas. Great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
