Cost to fit a tyre with sealant, rim tape and valve R300.00 So R1500.00 for a skinny tyre fitted Should I compare this to my motorbike, that uses a wider tyre than most, and is rated for a heavier motorcycle (All cost increasing factors) with a high end in the rage Pirelli fitted with valve, balancing, etc = R3500.00 Other motorcycle setups can be a good bit cheaper where both tyres can be replaced as a combo price around the 3.8K mark.

Headshot Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 The discrepancy in value is also huge. A moto will last for decades if looked after and cover thousands more km in that time. and could even cost less to service and maintain if you own a Spesh Epic wif brainbox etal. A push bike is outdated almost immediately and the frame will break eventually. As for tyre durability... KTM just re-released their Duke and Adventure 790 bikes, now made in China and far cheaper than the 890R. That's an old model - re-released! Imagine if Spesh decided to do that with my iconic X frame 2018 Enduro. Ain't gonna happen. DieselnDust, Hairy and Zebra 3
Duane_Bosch Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 At the opposite end of the spectrum are surfboards. I've always said they are way too cheap. A top of the line hand made board from a big name brand can be had for 10k. Yes they are roughly shaped by machine but they are finished by hand and glassed by hand. You can get a Pyzel Ghost model for 10k in this country. That's the same board that's ridden by John John Florence scaled to your weight. Jewbacca 1

Did you know you can buy a whole 5/4/3 wetsuit that covers your body head to toe for less than the price of a MAAP bib shorts!?! how many giro aether helmets EPS mass can make up a surfboard? And the IP that goes into a surfboard is way in excess of what goes into a bicycle. cycling is mental Duane_Bosch and Hairy 2
