In my case, the courier is DHL, if kena tax they will pay first and will call u about the tax. When they deliver to you they will give you the tax receipt for you to pay, only then he will handed over your items.
That's good because it saves me the hassle of going to airport to pay tax.
If there are any courier service that will pay tax for you and u don't need to pay the tax, pls let me know..hehe

QUOTE(butthead @ Nov 12 2013, 07:22 PM) i think they write wrongly lar... always look at manufacturer site... open corsa is clincher while corse is tubular... http://www.vittoria.com/product/cotton-tires/Haha thx. I chat with wiggle so called expert person and he confirmed that the one tyre is the latest ver than the other one. He must have no clue about it either. Shame. |

Hurm veloflex seems nice. 320tpi same like corsa cx. But a bit expensive.
What is the super duper clincher tyre available? The best money can buy? Michelin?

ok..just bought 2 vittoria corsa cx open clincher 700x25..the closest feeling to tubular tyres on clincher as the marketing says. so i'll give it a try..also bought 2 vittoria latex tubes (freaking expensive tubes i must say!)
anyway i got comments from my friend who uses 650cc tyres and said it is much faster compare to 700cc...is that true or only psychological effect? ;P

650c outlawed? not allowed in competition or the theory that it's faster is debunked?
and about the veloflex and vittoria, practically the same tyres right?

i see..yup 650cc both front n rear. not going to try different size...700x25mm is good enough already. items still in cart at wiggle. not paid yet..still can change mind to veloflex but expensive..maybe try vittoria first. looks cun also

The tyre no grip? I think should be ok in my case..smooth flat tarmac...super flat..super boring..super dry, except some sands on the road on a certain area.
Since I've had bad experience with a sidewall bursts on my conti gp4000s in the middle of the desert, anything that seems abnormal on my sidewall is definitely on my concerns..I don't want to walk to my car for 50km.

QUOTE(butthead @ Nov 14 2013, 11:06 AM) i've read their site... it's practically trying to copy firecrest shape with their so called wide fairing rims lar... durability aside... there is no way to tell if they are better than the benchmark wheels aero wise and they are certainly not that light to start with... the good thing? price is cheap and they use j-turn spokes instead of straight pull like zipp's sapim cx-rays... replacement is not that much of a worry if you can live with mixing spokes on the wheel... i thought u wanted climbing wheels??? they dun have wor.... 2 of my buddies get the Flo 30 and quite happy with it..but i'm planning to get the 60 version..I bet my FR0 is a lot better than the 30..anyway it's quite cheap to start venturing into aero thingy with their pricing. climbing wheels at this point of time no use..the best i think is zipp 202fc tubular 1.1kg only..but yea..not now yup the Flos are a bit on the heavier side..but then on the flat..i couldnt care much about acceleration..i just want some free speed  well it's just a plan  This post has been edited by mrjgx: Nov 14 2013, 11:15 AM |
