Rockjock Posted May 7, 2021 Share Bike addict currently advertising the CST for R380...havent personally bought the crossmarks in a while but have seen good prices..i bought specialized fast traks late last year for R350 each. Also look at Chauo Yang at Cycle Lab...also a good tyre so there are definitely some good prices around if you look... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm that pump does look good - with a digital gauge. Nice. I might get one of these instead. Have a nice floor pump already but also with a horrid dial gauge ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R100 for rim tape R100 for two valves, probably a bit more R150 for sealant, enough for the install with some spare for topping up Thats R 1 750 ... NOT a lot left for labour .... shop is probably making more on the parts than on the labour .... And if there are any issues the shop looses money .... CORRECTION .... Gorilla rim tape is now R 145 ! R190 for two valves !! R190 for the Sludge SCARY looking at the new prices and my old stock prices ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing tubeless conversion for a friend tomorrow, so stopped at my LBS and picked up the goodies .... Got a fright when I saw the prices !! Still have some old stock with prices on it .... Back at home I logged onto to Evobikes to check the prices .... Gorilla tape slightly cheaper than what I paid - https://www.evobikes.co.za/product/gorilla-tape-to-go/ Valves a bit more expensive than what I paid ... Sludge exactly the same price. All considered, if you are going to order in, may as well support Evobikes. RJClegg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100Tours Posted May 15, 2021 Share Sportsman's warehouse? R40 gets you tape R120 for valves R80 for the slime. This is not rocket science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted May 16, 2021 Share 12 hours ago, 100Tours said: Sportsman's warehouse? R40 gets you tape R120 for valves R80 for the slime. This is not rocket science You had me surfing the web .... I see they have the same "duct tape" that CWC sells. Interesting that CWC says the small roll is good for ONE rim, while SWH says it is good for TWO rims ... https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/product/sportsmans-warehouse-tubeless-rim-tape More importantly - would appreciate first hand feedback from those that have used this tape. Think it is time to look for Gorilla tape at NON-cycling outlets .... normally hardware stores are cheaper with this .... I only found these valves on their web - https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/product/concept-tubeless-valve-set Which sludge were you refering to ? I only see this one - https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/product/dr-sludge-puncture-sealant Should add, I use two bottles of the "Sludge" brand. Well, actually one and a half bottles. That leaves enough for a top up in a few months. darn-it .... THIS is what surfing leads to ... Seems like a very nice tool ...... https://www.sportsmanswarehouse.co.za/product/blackburn-big-switch-multi-tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted May 16, 2021 Share I think some caravan/outdoor shops stock Gorilla tape... ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steady Spin Posted May 16, 2021 Share You can get the narrow black Gorilla tape from Builders Warehouse. Not too expensive but you can do a couple or wheels. RJClegg and ChrisF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
