AndreZA Posted July 29, 2009 Share That little red text next to price is why. Our shops never has sales. I see on the site that some 09 Sids are cheaper then Rebas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matchstix Posted July 30, 2009 Share CRC is massive, If stock doesn't move then they can afford to sell it at less than their cost price Secondly they do massive volumes Some of these fork might be OE(original Equipment). . meaning they are suppose to come out on bikes and are not meant for AM (after Market) sales And yes you should be affraid, If something goes wrong and it is suppose to be a warranty Issue local rocshox will not cover the fork. They will repair it and charge you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighter-Lights Posted July 30, 2009 Share Jy kan eintlik 'n baie goedkoop mtb opbou deur parte van hulle 'sale' te kies.... daar's goekoop wiele, Shimano XT crank R1600, XTR agter der R580 ens ens.... baie bargains... maak dit die prys werd om UPS shipping te kies...

porky Posted July 30, 2009 Share My only worry is the backup service should something go wrong! I know its been discussed before, but I think it may be worth mentioning a situation like this again. All manufacturers today have an international warranty system, they have to, the world is no longer flat and folk / business operators etc travel - they know this well. The issue is local agents (in many countries, not just here) hide behind the clause that the product must be returned to the AGENT WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED for warranty claims, and refuse to touch the product if it didnt come in through their line of distribution. However, there was a recent case in the USA where this was challenged in court, the court decided that for FREE warranty claims, it was fair the product was returned to the original seller, however, the LOCAL (USA based) distributor was ordered to repair and offer back up service to the item, but was allowed to charge for spares and labour. The court found it was not in the "spirit of the warranty" that the local distributor refused to even offer repairs or service to the item because it came in through alternative channels. Now fair enough, this was a big case and involved a substantial amount of money, but the principle remains the same. I dont believe the distributor / agent etc locally will be supported by the courts if someone challenged on this matter there, they will very likely be required to provide support, the differance been they do not have to provide a "free" service and can charge for it. Now they may very well do this here already, in which case, its a moot point, but I dont know, perhaps someone else do's.? porky2009-07-30 00:16:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bos Posted July 30, 2009 Share Its because CRC buys like 1000 forks at the same time.. they own the bike industry!unfortunately no small guy can compare, thats how business works. I baught my revelation from them 18 months ago for R3300 the best price SA could give me was R4800 for the dual air, I got the air u-turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Brunsdon Posted July 30, 2009 Share Not out to do the CRC vs LBS debate again but I did find out recently that a LBS thats a registered bike builder get better deals. This is why CRC are competitive and some stores (but not all) can compete against them. I kinda also like to feel that CRC give the industry a reality check.

Matchstix Posted July 30, 2009 Share Not really, its business some bike shops rips you of while other are trying to survive. The higher volumes you push the lower your markup can be. Imagine the client base of CRC compaerd to your LBS Most people blame the suppliers, and the fact of the matter is they also have overheads that needs to be covered. I think there is a chance that one day everything is going to backfire. . . and not in the goodway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Brunsdon Posted July 30, 2009 Share Matchstix, my LBS is known to beat CRC on some fork prices - not just about volume. But then again there are many LBS who get the goods at similar costs but insist on exorbitant markups. Thats why CRC is the reality the South African LBS industry needs.
