W@nted Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Any indication of the import duties when buying uswe from chainreaction cycles or Uswe directly? On Uswe international site, they deliver to RSA using FedEx for 100 us dollars in total. Any risks going this route, apart from import taxes? Edited January 30, 2023 by W@nted
Eddy Gordo Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 I bought my uswe locally a while back. Someone advertised on here, think they were in tableview area. W@nted 1

Also, is that profile picture still 'street legal'? hahaha Buy these from Dan, you will be buying something from a Podium finisher of one of the most prestigious MTB Enduro races in the world!

Headshot Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 On 1/30/2022 at 11:51 AM, Steady Spin said: Still use my (now ancient) Dakine 3l pack for bike days out or rides where I take my Canon with 70-200 lens with for some riding photos. It is normally stuffed with snacks, spares, and pads strapped to it. For 30km or less a Camelbak Repack 1.5l with a OneUp pump, some spares, and a chocolate bar does the trick. Surprising amount of space in this guy. Fidlock 500ml helps if I know its hot and i’ll take some electrolytes in there Short rides I have a 500ml Fidlock bottle with water. Hydration packs do get hot and sweaty on your back but they stay in place when the trail gets rough and wheels leave the ground often. Hip packs are cooler but do need adjusting as the bladder empties. They bounce on rough trails a little but you get used to it. I have Dakine Drafter which costs R500 on special a few years back. Been bomb proof but sadly not available here anymore. Anything Camelbak is usually excellent though.
Kevlouw Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 I've been using my running vest for cycling, Works just as well as the standard hydration packs. Up to 3L bladder in the back plus 2x 500ml soft flask bottles in the front. Has pockets for keys, cellphone etc. In my opinion, it has a better snug fit than a cycling hydration pack.
