Capricorn Posted February 4, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnekop Posted February 4, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted February 4, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pappa Bear Posted February 4, 2011 Share 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Brunsdon Posted February 4, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried Eggbeaters last weekend and also great, probably easier to clip in. Ordering a pair from my OBS - Online Bike Shop - CRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Brunsdon Posted February 4, 2011 Share 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.
