Ralphk Posted March 16, 2009 Share In reference to the article posted on Chainwheel.co.za What utter rubbish. First of all it appears as if the various dealers have colluded to send out exactly the same sort of denial, as I received the same thing from cyclelab, saying exactly the same. What I want to know is, since when do competitors get together to help each other? What is more, if this was an "open forum" to benefit all in the industry, including, customers, why weren't any customers invited? Methinks there is something extremely fishy in the state of cycling in South Africa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make more sense to use this opportunity to burn your competition - that's what I would do. The only explanation must be that they're telling the truth then. Glad we got this sorted!

TNT1 Posted March 16, 2009 Share I know... It's the same as when you find out one or two of the pro riders dope. I'm shocked. At least it's the same as doping though, only one or two of them are doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markStockton Posted March 16, 2009 Share I wonder what effect an immunity from prosecution will have on one or two of the smaller LBS at the meeting. It would be a kinda win - win situation for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostface Posted March 16, 2009 Share if wholesalers get taken down then it will be a lose - lose situation. No one will stock that store ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted March 16, 2009 Share did they say that they wanted to level the playing field re prices and that service was the deciding factor where shops make money? If that was the case then FP would not last very long because their service is shocking. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly a Napalm substitute can be made by dissolving styrofoam (yes meat packing tray material) in petrol until the solution is completely saturated (ie - it won't disolve anymore).
