Chris Willemse Jnr"-------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have just noticed that in fact the prices have increased on the web site by around 10%
javadude Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Ja, but the Rand has devalued by 30% in that time.
APJ88 Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Ja' date=' but the Rand has devalued by 30% in that time. [/quote'] well done, glad u said that! i agree even with an increase of 10 %, CWCs prices are still competitive
WillemT Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Second that!!! the rand has gone mo#r toe... and their prices are still very good!! I was at my LBS today to get some new prices... I was shocked!! The prices have gone sky high!! The stuff from CWC is still so cheap. I'm very dissapointed in myself that I didn't buy the SLX group two days ago but it still is very cheap!!

WillemT Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I'll see if I can get a group tom. before the prices goes up again... I love the styling of the SLX, really looks nice! I'm starting to think about replacing my r der while i'm at it, but then again I probably don't need to... Just need the crank!!
CScriba Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 do u guys think the rands gonna improve soon?
Pilks Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I am thinking 5 months till any sort of return to orignal state

Ox_Wagon Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I have seen about 30% rise in price of new stock at some of the LBS and heard warnings that tires will go up by 60%.Ox_Wagon2008-10-23 23:18:04
Guest Big H Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I have seen about 30% rise in price of new stock at some of the LBS and heard warnings that tires will go up by 60%. Luckily most of the LBS owners are good mechanics or cyclists and not very good businessmen. Last time we had the unnatural rise in the R/$ exchange rate they also managed to import large amounts of stock because there were NO old stock sales before at ols prices before the new stock was sold off. When the R/$ returned to R5-85 no prices were cut...... it stayed the same. I wonder how much of these price increases are now on old stock and will pay for their fancy motorbikes, cars and exorbitant end of year holidays. Methinks they just got their excuse to bump prices as they discussed at their now well discussed "price fixing" meeting. The "heroes" of that meeting must now be wringing their pudgy little hands in glee!!!!!!!! CWC does not fall in this category as they import stock as neccesary and are also one of the shops "they" want to ostracise and "weed" out!!!!!!
Mudsimus Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I have seen about 30% rise in price of new stock at some of the LBS and heard warnings that tires will go up by 60%. Most tyres and tubes are already up by 60%
AuctionLamb Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I?have seen about 30% rise in price of new stock at some of the LBS and heard warnings that tires will go up by 60%. ? Most tyres and tubes are already up by 60% saw that when I looked at the Conti's!!! more expensive than a Merc's tyres!!!
AndreZA Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Now the price fixers are smiling. They can increase the prices and blame the exchange rate.
andrewbell Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I am thinking 5 months till any sort of return to orignal state i think 5months is a bit optomistic, i would say that we are looking at, at least a year before it starts looking normal again
