PeterWest Posted January 18, 2012 Share Anyone know where I can buy TLD kit in Cape Town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted January 19, 2012 Share yes Peter, that place is from behind your keyboard. --> CRC.There are bits and bobs of TLD stuff floating around in various cycle stores, but no dedicated SA representation AFAIK. So variety and choice are automatically not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterWest Posted January 19, 2012 Share Ya, I know... not so keen on those import dutys so it seems as if CRC is the only way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope you saving some gulps for that customs burden.ouch. but at the end of the day, this is what we have to do... meh  I don't want to say this too loudly... but customs has been slipping up lately when it comes to CRC orders. My last 3 orders I have only been charged 13.6% VAT. One of them had a pair of FiveTens which went un-noticed. A few other JHB guys have had similar reports. Maybe it happens when there the majority of the order is parts and the CRC dispatcher just generalizes it all as "bicycle parts" for the customs documentation. I don't know... but I'm not complaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted January 20, 2012 Share glad i'm not the only one that experiencing this unusual reprieve. All my recent clothing purchases sailed COMPLETELY under the customs radar. I' not complaining cos they fudged me over to the tune of of 4 figures on something else clothing related not from CRC. so while not a proper justification, i'm not arguing..

Capricorn Posted January 23, 2012 Share http://www.vitalmtb....d-Part-Ways,418 I dont have blind american loyalties, so I'd have to say, given the rest of the field, Duncan, among others, wasnt really performing. Money is tight for everyone, so it's best foot forward as far as possible. I'm just surprised the syndicate stuck with Peaty. I say he should walk away while his legend is still fresh in everyone's mind, and allow Miami Bryce the room he deserves to make his mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigelhicks Posted November 25, 2013 Share rather than starting a new thread i thought i'd just dig this one up  .... Does anyone know where I can get a 300lbs or 275lbs titanium spring for a Cane Creek Double Barrel from?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted November 25, 2013 Share rather than starting a new thread i thought i'd just dig this one up .... Does anyone know where I can get a 300lbs or 275lbs titanium spring for a Cane Creek Double Barrel from?? This is where super_mil and I got our titanium springs from. I'm guessing by the low weights, you're rigging a 267mm eye-to-eye shock with a 3.5" stroke. Super_mil just happens to have a 275lb in that size... but you'll have to pry it out of his cold lifeless hands, haha! But yeah, try Ti Springs. They took a while, but we ended up paying approx R1400ea (which is a bargain for titanium springs)... I see it's GBP110 now (off the shelf) or GBP100 if you pre-order (which is what we did). Still better price than most places.  ...and I see now they do colours too... oooh! haha! Edited November 25, 2013 by patches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
