Moab Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Yup, I ordered my conti tires from CRC - cost like R900. Then got 1l OKO from Rad for R130. So, for just over a grand I have sorted 2 tires out when had I got it from my lbs it would have cost two grand. Result: more money to spend on bike bits.
Wyatt Earp Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Maybe the LBS' need to negotiate better with their suppliers? ? Sorry LBS' I dont feel sorry for you....... you need to be more clever' date=' more customer driven and give us better service!!!!![/quote'] Do you not think they have tried this ?
Pappa Bear Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Well if they are loosing out to CRC....they will have to improve more! Fact: When ordering from CRC - I get my stuff when prommised, it is cheaper, I can see what they have in stock, can compare alternatives, all the tech info is available........ Owning a LBS in RSA will never be a highly profatble business...... Not always their fault as the local suppliers screws them - and I think the overs seas suppliers screw the RSA suppliers..... So I'll stick to overseas shops (CRC) that gets screwed the least.......
