Depending hoeveel jou noggin werd is? Ek hoor roadies gee nie regtig om nie so hulle helmets is gemaak van harde tissues. Jy weet die tipe wat vol trane is wat so styf staan?

 

Nog n ding - maak 100% seker wat jy bestel by CRC kos nie te veel op invoer belasting en VAT nie.

[Thomo]

Road helmets are always faster.

So just make sure that you can handle the speed on your mtb.

 

And check local pricing too ...

EDIT 9/1/2012 - Use this handy calculator that Velouria found http://www.dutycalculator.com/

 

 

It determines how much you will have to pay to SARS when ordering stuff from oversees.

 

The steps to calculate the total duties and VAT are:

 

1. Calculate the Rand (ZAR) value of the invoice (including shipping). This should be done by converting the foreign amount (INV) into ZAR using the SARS exchange rate (ROE) for the date of export. This is the customs value.
   
2. Calculate the import duties, using the amounts in Capricorn's list (ID%), based on customs value. These are the Duties (D).
   
3. Add 10% to the customs value from step 1. Multiply this new value by 14% to get the VAT amount for the goods.
   
4. Add 10% to the Duties value from step 2. Multiply this new value by 14% to get the VAT amount for the duties.
   
5. Add the Duties amount from step 2 to the two VAT amounts from steps 3 and 4 to get a the total amount payable to SARS.
   
6. Add the clearing fee (usualy R25 for SAPO and R100 for UPS) to the step 5 value to get the total amount you have to pay.
   

All of the above expressed in algebra:

 

1. CV = INV x ROE
   
2. D = CV x ID%
   
3. VAT_Goods = (CV x 1.1) x 0.14
   
4. VAT_Duties = (D x 1.1) x 0.14
   
5. Total_SARS = D + VAT_Goods + VAT_Duties
   
6. Grand Total = Clearance Fee + Total_SARS
   

And, converting back to English, these are the actual percentages you will pay to SARS for the stuff on Capricorn's list:

 

cycling shorts (classified as clothing) : 67.3%

shoes, socks, (bags?) : 61.6%

Gloves, bike cases, (bags?) : 50.0%

Helmets (fullface or other) : 44.3%

Knee pads and other protective equipment : 38.5%

plastic bottles : 32.7%

whole bicycles : 32.7%

Goggles, sunglasses : 15.4%

bike components : 15.4%

cycling electronics : 15.4%

I've seen lots of mtb guys ride w road helmets. Who cares, as long as it's protecting your head.

 

I'd buy locally for the crash replacement warranty via the lbs.

Rather buy stuff locally, sure it might cost you a couple more ZAR, but with that you get all the necessary guarantees - and for pete's sake don't go and try out the helmet at your LBS and purchase it in some other country or website.

 

To get to your question, I also use a road helmet for MTB purposes - the only difference I have noticed is that MTB have peaks and road not - in terms of the safety, I have NO clue.
