Group Buy - CRC (Tools)

[Cuppa Bru]

Just sent an email asking for a special concession on a hub group buy to the CRC team.

 

Will report back when I get a reply.

 

Pick-up will be in Illovo, Jhb, near the Wanderer's Cricket Grounds and the Golf Club.

If the deal is really good I'll think about counter-to-counter SAPO service, but that's too much admin if SAPO is on strike again or the parcel falls off the back of the truck

X tools stuff is perfect for DIY home use has all the special tools a MTBer needs, Allen key set in mine was good

Group buy for tools is dead in the water.

 

CRC won't offer us a special discount for a group buy on tools, initial discounts no longer apply and the exchange rate is also eating away at the cost-benefits.

 

Went to my favourite LBS in Silverton this morning. Guy had some great toolsets available.

Had a toolset going for just shy of R600 which has more tools than I care to count (box lists 17 items, and that doesn't count tire repair patches and individual hexes as pieces LMAO).

 

Seriously, ask your LBS for tools. You might be surprised by what they can offer you

Unfortunately we cannot offer any discounts at the moment as we run a few very good promotions online. I apologise for any inconvenience this might caused.

That set looks very close to the X tools one, can't see a hollow tech BB spanner tho?

[Cuppa Bru]

LMAO. We spoke about the BB spanner, even compared the BBB to the Exakt! and he showed me how it fits onto a bottom bracket, but I forgot about it.

Ah well, will buy it when I collect my serviced bicycle.

So that's Just shy of R700 for a "gets-the-job-done" LBS toolset. Still happy to buy it.
