divernick Posted November 7, 2013 Share I just collected my number and went with my wallet, you know, just in case. I am super-disappointed at the "expo" part of it. Come on guys. MTBers spend loads of loot, so why is nobody there exhibiting and punting their wares? The guys who are there will probably do ok and make some cash:ASGAnatomicPrepsol (Bought a big bottle of bike wash)ThuleSome gimmicky electro-massage thing (ok, maybe they won't make any cash)First Ascent selling 94.7 branded stuffNakd Energy bars (yummy stuff)One or 2 other small okes who I can't remember cos they didn't interest me.... Where are the shops? Where are the importers? Where are the brands? I wanted to see some bike bling, some cool accessories or something interesting. Am I alone in thinking that there's a huge sales opportunity being missed here? Dexter-morgan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexter-morgan Posted November 7, 2013 Share And next week we have to drive the extra distance to the dome for most of us. Stiggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigGuy Posted November 7, 2013 Share 94.7 is over rated Shuddup, it was my first race ever and I have a soft spot for it. River rubbish dump, Allandale broken glass and building rubble n'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted November 7, 2013 Share Expo's are becoming such a waste of time.Dare I say it, even Argus expo.I think cost is the major deterrent to potential exhibitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted November 7, 2013 Share I preferred it when the expo was held at Kyalami, situated mid Pta-Jhb, plenty of free parking and space. Dexter-morgan and Underachiever 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

argie1 Posted November 7, 2013 Share With all the nite series mtb rides I want to get a second light, sounds like I should get one over the web then. Even the recent cycle fare was bit of a let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi Pollard Posted November 7, 2013 Share Well they didn't really advertise it as a MTB Expo did they? I was expecting a plain old boring number pickup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeonthetown Posted November 7, 2013 Share Having to go twice at 2 different locations for number collection is ridiculous! They should do 1 big Expo where you can get both the MTB and Road race numbers. divernick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi Pollard Posted November 7, 2013 Share Having to go twice at 2 different locations for number collection is ridiculous! They should do 1 big Expo where you can get both the MTB and Road race numbers. I don't think they want to hold an expo for that long though. If they had to do it like this they would've started today and only finish next week Saturday. And I bet booking the entire dome for three days does not come cheap. I am happy with it like this. Imagine you are only doing the MTB and you have to go and queue with 30,000+ roadies to get a number board and a water bottle. Imagine the frustrations that will bring.
