It was a D3 from mountainbikesdirect and was about $300 cheaper than CRC... And that's a negative on the AS sticker.Edit: You say you ordered a helmet from them, do they come AS stickered?
Given how long things are taking to arrive from CRC these days (12 working days is becoming pretty standard, thank you Royal Mail), I think from now on I'll be shifting to Aus distributors wherever possible & looking to Mountain Bikes Direct as well. Some things are marginally more expensive, but still great prices & I'd prefer to go local.
If I really wanted to have a clean conscience I guess I'd be buying from my LBS, but I still can't convince myself to pay twice the price for that feel-good moment. Probably because it would be followed shortly after by a much worse moment of pain delivered by the wife for spending to much money.
That's hilariousIn an order I had 3metres of Hope brake hose....I teceived 3x 1metre lengths.
Pure Gold!!!In an order I had 3metres of Hope brake hose....I teceived 3x 1metre lengths.
Don't laugh. CRC did this to me with gear cable outers. Ordered 2metres got 2 x 1 metre lengths. Seriously???Pure Gold!!!
It was a wtf moment, I figured the "new guy" was picking my order.....That's hilarious
Me too, real PITA when you order everything you need to do the job and you're short full length outers. I've just taken to getting my from the LBS where they just cut it off the reel for me.Don't laugh. CRC did this to me with gear cable outers. Ordered 2metres got 2 x 1 metre lengths. Seriously???
Be prepared to wait. Anything that has come DHL has been quick (3-4 days), anything Royal Mail is royally slow (3 weeks or so). I should just start padding my orders with bulky things, that seems to make them use DHL for the free shipping. Might end up with a few water bottles I don't need though.Well shit. I ordered some gear two weeks ago and it arrived via DHL in 4 days, which I thought was pretty awesome.
The order from Sunday was shipped with Royal Mail, so now I'm wondering if I'll ever see it...
Purchased a bell super helmet from mountain bike direct. Has Australian standards sticker.
So that's one each way. Bummer.It was a D3 from mountainbikesdirect and was about $300 cheaper than CRC... And that's a negative on the AS sticker.
You can apply for a waiver from somewhere which is basically the equivalent of the sticker as far as i knowSo that's one each way. Bummer.
What's the ruling on non-AS stickered helmets in Aus anyway, does it void your insurance if you take a spill, or is that just for race events & the event insurance?
It arrived this morning. 9 days isn't too bad.Well shit. I ordered some gear two weeks ago and it arrived via DHL in 4 days, which I thought was pretty awesome.

White grips will look great on that rigid SS 29er you are gradually working towards owning.Crc.
Set of lock on grips, 5 weeks to come, missing proprietary bolts.
Ask for refund/return or spare bolts. They send out replacement grips. One month, no show.
Send me replacement replacements, 3 weeks, finally arrive. Wrong cunting colour. White grips? Fuck you :rant:
Robena and I have flung at least 15 emails back and forward over this. They have always been great in the past, and they seem to have been trying sort this, but seriously, I give up on this one. :rant:White grips look awesome until you do something with them. Stick them on for the for sale pics.
I recently had a run of stuff from crc failing. Emailed tyem the details and in no time at all the issue was resolved. A vast improvment over some recent experiences with them.
