Mountain bike shops are special places. It all revolves around the local bike shop (LBS), even with online bike shops, nothing beats a visit to the LBS. Every MTB store has its own unique character and characters who work (live) in them. Your local bike shop is the source of all your MTB spares, latest bike info, cycling kit and all the accessories. Its also great to find local MTB trails<\/a>, people to ride with and have coffee. And, a break from work, place to hang out, bike maintenance and best of all, a place to spend your hard earned cash. South Africa has some great cycle retailers with passionate people behind their counters. The rider owned stores are the best because they know what they are selling. They often have first hand experience with the products that they stock.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The mountain bike parts<\/a> and bikes stocked by the bike shops are supplied via local agents, distributors or importers. They represent their principles the major mountain bike companies and suppliers from overseas. They are there to provide local knowledge and support for the international brands. With the growth of mountain biking there has been a growing number of international bike brands and products available in SA.<\/p>

Online Shopping in South Africa is a contentious issue especially when it involves importing from US and Europe. But that’s life and a result of globalisation and made possible by the internet. Shopping for bike parts online has its advantages and disadvantages It can save quite a bit of money or cost you in the long run. Getting mountain bike parts is usually quite cost effective because there are no import duties and shipping is often reasonable. However if you want to buy mountain bikes it will be a bit more expensive due to import duties on complete bikes.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
