Edgar! Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Hi everyone, So I found this website "BikeInn". It is awesome and I found something I want to buy. Does anyone have any reference for me regarding the Spiuk brand? Shoes and helmets specifically. How is the quality on this brand? Also has anyone ever had any experience buyin from BikeInn? Just want some input before I continue buying :-) Keep the crank spinning#spiukfan
Yo-Yo Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 I have bought several time from BikeInn and their sister sites. They are very good and very reliable. As an overseas site you will be face various taxes and duties especially on clothing and shoes. I can not comment on Spiuk products as I've never owned them.

Do you perhaps know what percentages of taxes and duties we looking at if you order shoes?
T-Bob Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 I'd do a quick search as there are threads after threads on this one. Lexxx is the master when it comes to this as he works for the customs service.

popcorn_skollie Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Contact Mark at Alpine Sports 082 748 6338mark@alpinesports.co.za They're the local agents for SpiukI'm sure he could point you in the direction of your nearest retailer. You could roll the dice if you want...some people are luckyBut unless those kicks are less than half price I would pass.You could easily pay double the asking price after duties, shipping and vat on clothing.

Oh hell yeah! My eyes still water at the amount I had to pay on a set of R3K Gaernes that were actually (no, for real) a birthday present from my family.
Edgar! Posted February 22, 2017 Author Posted February 22, 2017 I received this calculation on one of the other forums. I worked according to it but I am not sure if I am calculating it correctly according to the percentages. if the spiuk brand is as worthwhile as it seems I believe paying the duties would be worthwhile. Thanks for the input and all the help! Happy cycling!
Brickleberry Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Get them however you can . I have had the spiuk dharma helmet for over a year and it's great. Super comfy
Edgar! Posted February 22, 2017 Author Posted February 22, 2017 Sold- that is what I hoped for! Dharma is on my list of items
