Giro helmets mostly almost look alike in pattern and design. Very confusing.

I Google, After see close ups & made comparison and the closest I think & think is, Giro Savant.

I've seen several cyclists with the type of helmet you're mentioning about but personally I don't have any recommendations.  sad.gif

But if I'm looking for the same type of helmet and if I have the budget, then I'll consider Giro.

Kabuto Vitt visor is transparent which suits me. As I don't cycle in morning.

if savant, the price are below cinder. i think around rm300+, while cinder is rm400+. for me i settle down for giro for a reason. i want after sales service and parts. my lock ring already broken before. and odered from pinkbike penang and got replacement. i also replace my helmet pad coz its already hardened.

besides,
not all giro are expensive. and most brand got clone/fake, and giro high end are one of them. like synthe and aeon. so far never seen any clone for aether yet..
*
Good advise 👍TQ
Your are right. Service & parts important, because the lock mechanism, the roc lock 5 etc etc.... With time plastic can brittle & broken, same with paddings.

I've used both and IMHO, the Aether has slightly better cooling than the Synthe.  sweat.gif

Possibly due to the newer MIPS construction.  hmm.gif

Like the Specialized Prevail II, the MIPS construction is also unique to the brand.

I like the way Aether is built. More airy bigger channelling vents and efficient exhaust.

Synthe, is also very good. Cooling vents from front and effective exhaust. But one thing inside the lid ( rock loc air cage + mips cage) can "eat" your hair. They tend to trap your hair.

Both are top tier lids 👍

+1 for the after sales service from Pink Bike.  nod.gif
My Aether had the "GIRO" peeling off (possibly not enough glue?) due to manufacturer's defect and I got a full refund.

They replace a new one for you or you buy a new one with the refund?

any tips on buying gloves?
*
For me. I always choose full gloves.
Because, I cycle mostly at night.

There are Many macam macam creepy flying insects & bugs, animals at night attracted by lights. Especially bicycle light.

Full gloves can brush off or fend off those venomous insects which can sting or bite without being bitten or hurting our fingers.

Second, I choose full gloves because can shield / protect our fingers in case of fall etc.

Oh I see... Then you should look into suitable saddle. Its worth to change for comfortable and longer rides. But each person rear is different. So you need to experiment a bit for the one contour ngam for your rear.

*I'm still using stock saddle.

Oh ya I forgot, Cycling pants.... For me I also treat it as a safety attire besides comfort. The paddings can play the role to protect the important part of our male area too. 😜😊😊

Zam, Selamat hari raya Aidilfitri

Nak tanya sikit pasal tyre Schwalbe one
The yellow colour on the side wall is painted on the tyre?
Can the yellow colour fade off if brushing with soap regularly over time?
Can the colour last?

Endurance, i guess.

Not looking to ride fast as i am not gonna join race or events,  just ride far for exercise and occasionally join ppl.

after few days of poisoning i am roughly looking at - 105 11-speed sets, mixed set oso ok. size more or less about 50, looking at either merida or polygon with budget at 2k thereabout. used bikes of course, no way i can buy new with that budget unless go for open mold frames, which i was advised against.

anyway just scouting for deals lah, got good, dont have nvm, not in rush. now i just wan fix up that old foldie dulu

That day I saw ads on polygon
If not mistaken, Claris is 1,800, Sora is about 2,200 & 105 about 3,400
