I'm a bit shit at this conversation....my head talk is more like: "....you work hard, you love mtn biking, that upgrade will transform your entire existence! Fuck it. I'm clicking Add to Cart and no-one can stop me..."
You don't get to employ 14 staff if you make thin margins on bike parts, some of which I've known personally and have never been in the bike industry or anything mechanical.
99bikes are the Bunnings of the bike world. They'll destroy the LBS scene the same way Bunnings destroyed the local hardware networks. Service, expertise, choice, and competitive pricing will be non-existent.
2 weeks from anywhere at the moment is f$%#ing unheard of, but 2 weeks from Covid ridden Europe is next level...it would have had to get nuked in quarantine too slowing the process down , coming from Italy!....
After it's stop in Honolulu it went for a trip up the east coast of oz. Why it goes sydney up to Brisbane then back to Tassie I'm not sure.
Diving watch, I gather.
I just got a Chinese order delivered yesterday. Ordered on the 8th. 12 days is not too bad at the moment.
No SRAM.
99bikes are shit though. So I doubt your prediction. I could get better selection of bike stuff at Bunnings.
Wasn't paying attention and thought that picture was very lewd for a second.Just a quick heads up on a recent LordGun purchase.
I ordered a few unicorn poo tyres from them and had a browse through the site for bargain or two to shore up the $60 postage cost (tyres paid for it anyway)
Grabbed a pair of Endura Hummvee gloves and a pair of Hummvee II shorts as I had a pair of the old Hummvees and liked them.

Had a look at them the day I got them and noticed a small hole on the mesh panel air vent, which is covered by a zip anyway.
Sent them a picture, put the shorts on and went riding. Got an email back saying they were sorry I've had a bad experience and was a full refund acceptable

Are there any brands that aren't ? Nearly everything is made there now, the only difference is the quality control.
Ahhh... all the cheap stuff.
I don't own any PI, but I thought it was produced elsewhere in Asia
Not lately, but I still have a rain jacket that I bought years ago, it's as good as the day I bought it and I use it frequently.Are there any brands that aren't ? Nearly everything is made there now, the only difference is the quality control.
On first impressions having worn them about 7-8 rides, the Hummvee II shorts seem pretty good, the liner feels good also.
Value for money with them is through the roof, considering I paid zilch for them
I bought myself the winter/waterproof MT500 jacket a few months back, it feels really well made too.
When you say 'looks like', have you actually had any Endura stuff lately ?
I have several items of each brand mentioned and they are expensive enough to be made in the countries that their name suggests.
