Thomo Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Is that a fake Specialized as well? Looks like an SL2 ... so well before they started 'faking' Specialized.
LART Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I only paid R168 vat extra at Capemail.Hi, I appreciate your prompt response.I would also like to know if the invoice reflects the correct amount paid for the items, I was informed by Aliexpress that they do not declare the correct price of the item, instead they will send it as a gift valued at US$170.00. Please advise if that is the way it was done in your case.RegardsLouis

Please advise if that is the way it was done in your case.RegardsLouisDoes it matter what the his invoice says? if you budget 16% on the full price for duties and handling fee's and the wheels are still a bargain, then go for it. if you manage to land them with a "gift value invoice" then you are getting an even better deal. Assume that you will be paying worst case scenario and anything better is a bonus with regard to customs duties and charges. You cannot rely on what is said on a site, and sometimes customs adjust the value as well as the index should they take a closer inspection. I have had clothes marked as bicycle parts and customs have changed the index to clothing where there is 40% duties rather than 0% duties.

DBK Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Couldn't wait for my cassette...had to see how its gonna look! Rocking generic carbon wheels and slapping ZIPP stickers on them is lame.
Thomo Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Rocking generic carbon wheels and slapping ZIPP stickers on them is lame. He's already concurred and also pointed out that it wasn't his choice ...
MintSauce Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Any thoughts on the braking perfomance of these wheels vs more expensive carbon wheels? Dry and wet weather? Keen to order a set of rims and build them up, but as a friend said, all carbon braking surfaces are not equal. Thanks
LOOK695 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) Some new rims from Yishun bike. Look nice Edited May 18, 2014 by LOOK695
