Hog_ Posted January 5, 2009 Share Seems there is going to be a lot of shopping online and in the 2nd hand market this year. I think it would be a good idea to import a basket of commonly needed parts and resell them here. Even at second-hand prices you'll make enough money back to cover whatever you ordered for yourself.

AndreZA Posted January 5, 2009 Share I just pray that nothing happens to my bikes because I can not afford to replace parts if something should go wrong. The last time I bought tures and thought I treat myself and get GP400s wich was on special for R380ea and when I got my new MTB wheels I had to fork out R470 for the Mountain Kings Protections. I'm afraid they are gonn be replaced with R80 nylon tyres if somthing happens to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices did not go down when the R/$ recovered and dropped to R5.85 to the US$. That is what I call rip-off. But then again consumers tend to be like lambs to the slaughter......... hulle loop in bondels (read bunches) en bler en worry nie want hulle het mos baie geld!!!!!!!!!
