Based on this, I suspect the derailleur/pod/cassette combo will be around R21k.

I'll need to go without KFC for yet another month 😆

Hmmm, you're right. I mean, it's CWC (the new-gen version) so who knows!

I wish there was a pod with three buttons for the axs dropper.

What do we think is going on here? Looks like the new transmission GX but mounted on a hanger, obviously defeats the axel mounting exercise, but at least makes it backwards compatible, so is an adapter or different derailleur design? Also if it’s an adapter does it mess with shifting?

I suspect this is just someone in the rendering department who screwed up.

Well…technically the 1000$ includes foreign VAT?. But as with everything here…take oversees retail and add 25%🤣 (1000x18=18k +25% = R22500….hey wait a minute haha)

….more like 60% right?…(1000x18 =18k +60% = R28k ish)

bastards….

You know what i meant! Stop trying to be a wiseass all the time😅.
it wasn't necessarily referring to the US. It just happened to be in the universal currency ($).
If it read £800 instead we would know that included 20 odd % lol

Whichever way you look at it…it costs 60% more here than the RRP of $1000/1000€/1000moneys
