wepat Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Dear Shimano, how can you not have any stock in CPT for the next 2-3 weeks not sure about the rest of SA but not a single LBS in CPT has spare or any XT brakes. This is poor considering its one of the most popular brakes lots of people support your brand not sure who you local agent is?? being supportive of its consumers being us Hubbers and customers being our LBS. get stock in and keep some buffer stock Wepat
Kranky Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) not sure who you local agent is?? Officially Coolheat http://www.coolheat.co.za But looks who's having a special on XTR stuff, Chain Reaction Cycles. Oh and their XT brakes are here. Edited April 30, 2014 by Nick. LouisS 1
EVOBIKES ONLINE STORE Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Well we have stock... http://www.evobikes.co.za/components/brakes/complete-disc-brakesets/xt-m785-brakeset-silver.html the nerd, Pusher, no calves and 2 others 5
Louzy Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Chain Reaction at full price works out to R1593.00, discount is R1062.00 and Evo Bikes at discount are R3250.00what are the import duties on the Chain reaction cycles goods?
Kranky Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) what are the import duties on the Chain reaction cycles goods? Around 14-16% (except for clothing and full bikes). Plus add shipping. I believe between R150-R350 depending on the option. Edited April 30, 2014 by Nick.
Louzy Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Around 14-16% (except for clothing and full bikes). Plus add shipping. I believe between R150-R350 depending on the option. so it would still be cheaper to import rather than buy from a SA store...
BDF Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Around 14-16% (except for clothing and full bikes). Plus add shipping. I believe between R150-R350 depending on the option. Also need to add 14% VAT payable to SARS via the clearing agent based on the import value on the commercial invoice. So add purchase price + 29% (14% VAT + 15% Duties) + shipping cost + clearing costs to get the full real import price. Louzy 1
wepat Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 Well we have stock... http://www.evobikes....set-silver.html Thanks for your reply I will contact you in future , I am actually only looking for RH lever but from what I have been told you have to buy a set or the entire brake set.

Our price is for an ICE-TEC SET. Louzy 1

Last time I checked there was no duty on cycling parts. http://www.thehubsa....-cycling-goods/ But go with EVO. Local is lekker (when the price is right) Edited April 30, 2014 by Nick.

SCD Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 I recently had a set of M785 XT Brakes sent to Shimano for servicing because one lever piston got stuck and the calliper itself was leaking oil. It came back with a note: "brake is too old you need to buy a new one, but: Sorry no stock." Enquiries did not trigger a further response. After research and help and explanation from elsewhere I learned that the XT brakes are actually not meant to be serviced. There are no seal kits available for the lever nor the calliper. While I truely love these brakes I am left flabbergasted. So it is "enjoy it while it lasts" and then chuck them in the bin? This is just a pity. Maybe this comment will get us some more comment from Shimano than the enquiries via the LBS, maybe not...However I thought you guys should know this...
