dexterdent Posted June 24 Share Anyone bought some bibs yet from Temu? The local ones are just getting too expensive (at least for indoor training) - and seems like there are quality issues anyway (enough threads on that already...). I'd love to support local but R2k for an entry-level bib seems a bit excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to support local but R2k for an entry-level bib seems a bit excessive. I got some bibs as part of my order testing the delivery. Some bibs, tools, camera etc all for R200 in some intro offer, so no idea what the bibs itself cost me. Quality is what can be expected from that price. The pad is not very good, and the sewing does not look like it will last more than a year. But for indoor it works for my hour-ish rides in the week. Would not use for longer or outdoor rides. YMMV, my bum does not mind bad bibs/saddles that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadgets Posted June 29 Share I brought in two parcels with cycling goods and on the one I paid 28% on duties and on the other one 31%. Edited June 29 by Gadgets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVERDRIVE Posted June 30 Share I hate Temu. The repetitive ads alone make we want to buy nothing NickGM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gripen_85 Posted July 1 Share I got this cycling waist bag on one of their deal things, so it was R300 or R400. The link is being difficult , it's the "outdoor sports vest waist bag". I also have a legit CamelBak Repack (cost R1500). The Temu one is comfortable, spacious, there are lots of nifty pockets that are easily accessible while on the bike or running or hiking. The side pockets easily hold cycling water bottles or regular 500ml water bottles. It's also comfortable to run with. The material and sewing quality appears good. It doesn't come with a bladder. But I'd buy another one before I fork out R1500 on another CamelBak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps: "SWAPO inspired fanny pack"? gerriemtb, KB280DT and RustyHWR 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobynE Posted July 1 Share I have this exact one and it works like a bomb. Use it for cycling and hiking. Didn’t buy it from Temu but the exact same one and I’ve had it for a year now. With full 2L bladder in it I can still fit 5 naartjies in the main pocket. Gummies and other small bits in the front strap pocket. My iPhone 14 Pro can also fit in the front strap pocket. Doesn’t come with a bladder. I actually forget I’m wearing it. https://share.temu.com/g3xlhd5CjtA Gripen_85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
