Capricorn Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 I've been trying to think of a catchy headline for this sorta crap, and I had to go to the dark ages to find some inspiration. Tumbleweed, would u print this? Flat Earth Society Accuses CRC of Black Magic I think it nicely encapsulates the backward mentality of those bitching and moaning about something they are failing to grasp and understand, and use to their own advantage. Instead, they want to burn the Galileo of online cycle stores at the stake.
Spinnekop Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Easy really.Local Swisstop brake pads R750CRC R220. Let me think about this..... Ultimately if the LBS do not adjust to the international trend and e-sales, they will die.
Hairy Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 We pay the same import duties the suppliers pay... There are none on bicycle parts, you can't drop that! The opportunity is there for the local market, but they decided to take advantage of the monopoly that comes from exclusive agencies rather than sell at a fair price. It's not the shops that are ripping people off, they are making fair margins in most cases, their cost price is just ridiculously high. As a consumer, my money goes to the best businessman, who cares what country they sleep in! Why are JHB people buying from CWC? That's not local for them, they should support the shop closest to where they live on the "support local" logic irrespective of service or price. Or CWC must just open another branch in JHB

Capricorn Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 But of course! That's the way it's done. Write the headline first, then write the story to go with it! do u have a job for me? I can dream up stories whole day
Pappa Bear Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 somebody had a "brain fart" and think they can boycott CRC! You will never be able to boycott good service. Some of our LBS are like "qouta players" - moaning cause they are not good enought and miising all the action!!!
Tumbleweed Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 do u have a job for me? I can dream up stories whole day After what I did at work this morning my job as chief dreamer-upper may be available!
Christopher Brunsdon Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Yeah, CRC is such a rip. They charge R57 for delivery on my pannier and it took 10 days to get to my post office. What a bunch of crooks. Now I want to buy some pedals and they got Crank Brothers Candy X 2009 with postage for a rip-off R216 ex duties. Oh my gosh, I think I would rather go to my LBS and blow R600 by them instead. /sarcasm off
Caerus Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 After what I did at work this morning my job as chief dreamer-upper may be available! Spill the beans

Tried Eggbeaters last weekend and also great, probably easier to clip in. Ordering a pair from my OBS - Online Bike Shop - CRC
Christopher Brunsdon Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Actually busy doing the checkout now. I got some of those Shimano Platform ones (too much Baileys to recall right now) and love them but they are caput (2nd hand). Just saw the Candy X's on special this evening.
Thug Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 F#ck the boycott. I just saved over R5k buying a set of rims from CRC.
Caerus Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 F#ck the boycott. I just saved over R5k buying a set of rims from CRC. I saved 4k , got quotes here for the wheel build was gonna be R8000. How can you even contemplate supporting those prices I dont know.
chris_w_65 Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Thug and Caerus, you guys have been listening to women and SALE talk too much, you guys saved f@ck all. How much did you actually spend? If you saved then the cash would still be in your wallets
chris_w_65 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 i dont get what u trying to say Chris.. Has youre wife never told you about a sale she went to where she saved 50%? Saved 50% or R10000.00 so saved R5000.00. She didn't save R5000.00, she spent R5000.00
