South Africa’s First Subscription Box for Cycling Gear


News bot

Recommended Posts

R500/month would never cover most things on my wish list  :w00t:  

 

i would only get a box once or twice a year....

 

 

That's the beauty of it. So maybe you can nominate the dates you want your "surprise"

Birthday and Christmas

R6000 per annum can be split in some nice gift hampers

If i take what cycle gear i buy on a yearly basis...it definitely comes to more than R500/month if you divide it. Problem is that cycling gear has become so expensive that i would be worried that the hampers get smaller and smaller every time

Someone put a lot of thought into this business idea, but just not enough. They ended with a "sure we can do that", where they should have ended with a... "but should we do that".

 

Sorry guys. Pass.

Nope. They put no thought into it. They copied an existing subscription model and just applied the idea of adding bike accessories into a box at R500 a month. 

 

Good luck to them. It might be something a completely new rider might be interested in but at that point you already got up-sold by your local into getting the helmet, socks, water bottle, multi-tool etc.

Good in theory, but I already have boxes of bits and pieces. Pumps, tools, lights etc and don’t need any more

WOW what a load of crap. I wanted to give them a chance and was really excited to see what they would include in the box.

 

Even if I could not use some of the items I would have donated it. I even tried to sign up my friends just glad I waited on my box to arrive before I told them about it.

 

I'm so glad I didn't sigh them up. I'm actually thinking of taking it further.

Paid the 489X3 installments and then received a box of crap. Even the packaging was beyond amateur.

 

Below is the list of things I received.

 

What they promise and what they gave is worlds and I mean WORLDS APART.

 

4 bags of coffee

1 pair of sunglasses RockBros(AliExpress version)

Pepper Spray

4 bars

A buff

1 Energade.

 

I would stay clear of this make shift company that will swindle you out of your money.

When did you sign up? How long have they now been in full swing?

 

 

I was dreading this kind of response to this idea :( but seemed inevitable

This was my 1st box. It's a pity I cant really post pics of what was promised in their ads to what they actually gave.

 

I'm just dissapointed that such a good idea is just a money making scheme.
