Patchelicious Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 To be fair None of those products are manufactured in SAOk, if it has to be thought up, made and sold here, then the only thing we are good at is a propper South African around the braai MOAN, espcially the MBTers moaning about dirt roadies
Brickleberry Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 I have just seen Kitted Narrow wide chain rings Says "made in RSA" any good?Kitted make some really great quality chainrings.
Brickleberry Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 With the Rand /Dollar going up the way it has , more SA brands need to pop up. We are going to pay dearly for import products.
KarlvN Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 W2W, S2C, J2C, K2C, 36One, RASA, Trans-Baviaans, The Cape Epic, and lately The Munga...
Danger Dassie Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 To be fair None of those products are manufactured in SA Some of the parts are, they all are designed, prototyped and developed in SA though.
Danger Dassie Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Atyre? Cycling tyres and components recycled into belts, accessories etc ....
Danger Dassie Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Good point...We are looking for products made and marketed here. Not really, manufacturing is but one part of a product. Design and prototyping are the IP (heart) of a product, not it's source of manufacture.
RockCoach Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 cSixx (based here in CT)Leatt (based here in CT)PygaMorewood (well, used to be. Not sure about now) to name a few. You stole my post Contraband steel frames
Patchelicious Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 What about the Backtracker success story, they surely need a mention too.
RockCoach Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Another one is Candy floss tyre sealant. Made in RSA Good point...We are looking for products made and marketed here. SA can't compete in terms of cost of production.
Louisf1 Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 With the Rand /Dollar going up the way it has , more SA brands need to pop up. We are going to pay dearly for import products.That's for sure!We'll be riding steel frames and cheap china group sets very soon!Unless we SA'ers can start to make our own cycle stuff.I'm a firm believer that we have enough clever local engineering talent to create proper local cycle gear.
