Headshot Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Mounatin Mail Order in Observatory used to be or are still the agents but I see their site does not list any bike footwear anymore. My wife wants a pair of Vxi clipless shoes but they seem to be very thin on teh ground in SA. Any suggestions or info on where to get them in SA. Size 4.5 please :-)
Headshot Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 Mailed Dial'd will let you know what comes up.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 i *think* dial'd are now the agents for 5-10...
GoLefty!! Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 whats so special about 510 besides being midlifecrisis cool?
DR ◣◢ Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 What happened with the pricing. Wow. Seems to have shot up quite a bit. Exchange rate is really screwing us.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Yeah, the VXI's are really dear.
G00SE Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 whats so special about 510 besides being midlifecrisis cool? Stop trolling, its not friday yet
DR ◣◢ Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Yeah, the VXI's are really dear. The SO is looking to go to flats. Will look at some cheap skate sneakers to start her off. 5.10s are just too expensive for a "lets see if this works" scenario.
droenn Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 CRC can send and the tax isn't so bad when you get them on special

Will look at some cheap skate sneakers to start her off. 5.10s are just too expensive for a "lets see if this works" scenario. my next pair of flat shoes will probably also be skate shoes. I cant justify the price of 510's currenly.And they are really just a glorified pair of skate shoes (the free riders anyway)

Will look at some cheap skate sneakers to start her off. 5.10s are just too expensive for a "lets see if this works" scenario. Look at the following: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/143140-flat-pedal-shoes-other-than-five-ten/?hl=%20flat%20%20shoes Got the Hi-Tec Figaros for R400, paired with Shimano Saints, and so far I've had no issues with grip. Sure, not as grippy as 5.10s, but a good place to start on a budget.

Piston ZA Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Try and convince the fairer sex to ride with those Probably not the most stylish, but they do start to look better once covered in dust and mud. They are very comfortable as well, done a few walks in them.

I tried riding my Jekyll with my old DC shoes I used to use for flatland. It felt like I was ice skating on my pedals compared to my Free riders (even with the big holes in the sole). The DC's were also far to flexible. The DC's were acceptable for flatland because you spend more time standing on the tyres than the pedals.
