But where can we buy one in Oz? The website only seems to service US, UK and EU.

In reply to GrantBoydell. Yes they should where possible mate but whats even more important is that your helmet should try and match your shoes that way the look is balanced or bookended :-)

Well I always wear a cap, not a lot of hair and the Aussie sun would see me walking around with the pattern of a Kask Valegro on my head for most of the year…….also don’t want to be cycling in my 60’s with one of those triangular nose protectors 🙂

Always good to get an update from Lee. I love the yellow helmet with the Stitch & Dart kit, which leads to the question: Should your helmet match the socks or the jersey? And do these rules apply for a gravel ride?

Comment on Tested: 2023 Giant Propel Advanced SL 0 With Dura Ace 12-Speed by Nicholas Clarke

In reply to Peter Maniaty. Thanks for the reply, Peter. I have to say that I'm relieved to hear that, on balance, you'd probably still put the TCR ahead of the Propel for most riders, even if the difference is now only a marginal one. I recently bought a TCR Advanced SL 0, and have been wondering ever since if I made a mistake, and should have gone for the Propel instead. But I can take some comfort in your assessment!

In reply to Nicholas Clarke. That's a really good question, Nicholas. Prior to this model of the Propel the answer was a no-brainer: the TCR was definitely the better all round choice, fast enough and responsive enough whilst offering considerably greater comfort than the Propel. For most riders (myself included) I'd say it probably still is, but not by much. The gap has really, really narrowed with the arrival of gen 3.

Comment on Wollongong Worlds: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of the ’Gong. by Greg Cunningham

The magazine article under the heading ‘Riding the Region’ is of course correct that Wollongong is in “no way a cycling city” despite its UCI ‘Bike City’ status. But the comments don’t recognise that the wider Illawarra region to the south is far more suitable for road cycling. As the coastal plain widens there are quiet roads through open country (eg, the areas around Kiama, Jamberoo, Berry & Kangaroo Valley) and challenging climbs like Jamberoo Pass (temp. closed), Saddleback Mountain, Macquarie Pass and Barrengarry Mountain. Then there’s the Southern Highlands just over the escarp

Enjoyed the review. How would you compare the Giant Propel Advanced SL 0 to the Giant TCR Advanced SL 0 in terms of speed, stiffness, handling, comfort, etc.? Which would you choose for all-round road riding?
