Izak Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Where is the best place to try on and buy the Catlike range of helmets?Preferably Pretoria or Johannesburg.
Izak Posted August 27, 2013 Author Posted August 27, 2013 http://www.rushsportscycling.com/Hey Mackie, thanks. But I am specifically looking for a shop with a physical shop where I can "try on and buy" rather than ordering online and not knowing whether it really fits and looks the way I want to.Failing which I will definitely look at these guys thanks. They are the Bicycling Magazine crowd hey?

Gonna go get me some Catlike stealth today!! Leaf, Kompact'o or Whisper...
Raab Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Perfect, thanks very much!! Gonna go get me some Catlike stealth today!! Leaf, Kompact'o or Whisper... Let us know what your impressions of the shop are as it is very new still and I haven't had a chance to go have a look
Izak Posted August 27, 2013 Author Posted August 27, 2013 Let us know what your impressions of the shop are as it is very new still and I haven't had a chance to go have a look Cool will do that!! Raab 1
Izak Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Ok so popped in there yesterday afternoon. Shop layout is nice and clean with nice displays on all the bikes without having to squeeze through between displays. They have some really nice kit and machines there. Mainly Bergamont and BMC.Still a bit of work to do but getting there. Two servicing stations right in the shop behind a nice big counter so you can see what's happening. Toilets and also some nice coffee ... important as we know. Dylan says that they will soon be starting rides and skills training early in the mornings and / or after work.  They also have something called Price thumping Thursdays where they sell stuff at silly prices!!!Register for the newsletter and they will let you know! So yes a good experience overall, can see that they just moved in but I think this shop has the potential to become a very nice place to go!! Oh and .....

Zeffer Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Nice write-up and congrats with the Catlike!!!! I also got the matt one few months ago. Unfortunately the matt layer is very thin and peels of very easily....

Beesrib Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 hi man congrats. I love the look of these helmets. one day .... Izak 1
Beesrib Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 I have the leaf in red and i love it. I have had a look at the red one, sure is a thing of beauty. Izak 1
Izak Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 Yeah also looked at that but that binds you a bit with clothing and bike colors. Dunno maybe that's a bit OCD but yeah. White or black works best for me. Tried the white as well but the mat black is really cool imo. Will try out at race on Saturday and let you guys know what I think. But it is quite a bit more comfortable and lighter than my Fox Flux (which will be up for sale soon )

The sizing mechanism works a charm as well and is super comfortable. http://www.velolife.co.za/images/xretention-system.png.pagespeed.ic.l-IHcJOriE.pngIf you're a roadie, get the new Mixino - Superlight with snug fit and anti bacterial spacers and straps. Pretty awesome. Doing a 75k this weekend so will let you know after how it feels through a race. Edited August 28, 2013 by Izak
