Diepseun Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 she soakes up everything! little on the heavy side I really need to work hard to get it off the ground when i hit jumps at low speed. I'm a little chicken when it gets to the big stuff.
PeterWest Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 Anyone know where I can buy TLD kit in Cape Town?
Capricorn Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 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.
PeterWest Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Ya, I know... not so keen on those import dutys so it seems as if CRC is the only way?
Capricorn Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 yeah, bummer. no friends or family going over to the UK that u can bum some luggage space from? watchu getting btw?
PeterWest Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Sadly not Getting the TLD Speedshop kit ( top and pants ) aswell TLD ace gloves and TLD sprint shorts. It's about time that I get some proper riding kit
Capricorn Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 sweet bit of kit u putting together there. 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

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
Capricorn Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 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 Posted January 23, 2012 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.

nigelhicks Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 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??

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
