Thanks for the reply Diepseun. If I do make it it will just be to watch so i will stay clear of everyone and take some pics. What time do you guys get there and where exactly is it?

Do any of you know what the tax is for clothing when importing from Chain Reaction?

[patches]

yeah, clothing duty is 40%... plus you also gotta pay the 15.4% VAT. But some of the clothes on CRC still work out cheaper than the LBSes after all that.

 

If it's MX/DH jerseys you're looking out for, sometimes the MX shops have sales on. If it's MX/DH shorts... those are hard to find.

hi guys,

 

I am looking for a top crown for my boxxer.

It needs to be a drop crown, i think. Please let me know if you can help.

also looking for a DH fork. Let me know if anything is for sale

Boxxer world cup for sale here https://www.bikehub.co.za/index.php?/topic/75175-rockshox-boxxer-world-cup/

Still looks good

[DownhillingKing]

That boxxer isn't a world cup. Not even sure if those things are real boxxers

[patches]

@ Mokkie What year is your boxxer?

 

I have 2 (one on my bike, one I canabalize for spares) and I can see if I can put the flat crown on so I free up the drop down.

 

Oh, and when you say you need a DH fork... is that in addition to the boxxer?

[DownhillingKing]

My boxxer is an 09, but thats staying on my bike.
