Note the rating of the Samshield Shadow Matt out off the 49 helmets tested, then see the local price (cheapest is around 7k, then it goes up according to bling finish to around 17k - helmet structure is the same). VT places it 26th in the list. And then see the rating of the $58 helmet, which we can’t get locally. Placed 6th. Bling factor value is a powerful thing. I mean I love a bit of cool brand or fancy, but not at the expense of an organ that controls my entire existence. I’d rather be unfashionable with all my faculties. It's a costly sport for socialites, aimed at people with money, who need others to know (think) that they have money. I bet the 15k helmet has a SOLID margin built in and there is a demand inflated element to that price. My guess is the importers of those helmets are not driving Polos. Even if it would have been fitting. RobynE 🚵♀️ 1

Shebeen Posted August 25, 2025 Posted August 25, 2025 not fully off topic: found an item on an online cycling store with the following codes at the end of the description: RRP: R479 RS: R239 TAL: R349 TAL Low: R269 (lowest possible) actual price is R279.00 R199.00 is this the internal accounting, if so, good price i guess?!
bar_1 Posted September 5, 2025 Posted September 5, 2025 Any good specials on shoes? I do mostly road cycling but I like the MTB designs, something I can walk/drive with.
