Recommended Bike Shops in Sydney???

[Sweeper]

Hello

I’m looking at buying a light weight ‘enduro’ style full face helmet. Only issue is no shops stock them where I live (Darwin).

I’m heading to Sydney I’m a few weeks to visit family, and am looking for recommendations on places to buy a full face helmet.

I’m not interested in buying online as I want to test the fit of the helmet before I buy.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Where abouts in Sydney are you headed? It's a pretty big place, so of we can narrow it down a little there might be some more useful recommendations coming in.

There is a reasonably big giant and trek shop not too far from each other along Clarence st in the middle of the city.

I’ll be staying a block from central station for a week before going to visit family. So getting to Clarence St will be easy, thanks for the heads up.

Having said that though, I’m more than happy to catch a train/bus to go to a good bike(s) shop which will hopefully have a range of helmets to try.

The Clarence st shops are Giant and Trek concept stores so could limit options. I hate to say it but 99 bikes tends to have a good range of helmets to try. There's one in Stanmore, Alexandria and Brookvale all of which are pretty accessible by bus.

My apologies @Sweeper, I thought your 2 word post was a a scammers first post.
I should have checked your account to see you’d been on here since 2004

If you can be bothered and have some time. Get over to Mortdale TBSM. Last time I was in there had a decent range

Thanks for the replies, the Clarence St shops will be an easy walk, but if they don’t have what I’m after I’ll try 99 bikes and TBSM.

I’ll send them an email first to check on size availability.

if anyone has other suggestions please let me know.

All good, I somehow accidentally posted it when I first started typing, fat fingers!

Last time I went to tbsm they were balls deep in road and dry on MTB. This was heartbreaking given their once legendary presence in the MTB world.

TBSM hosted bbq days at mortdale dirt jumps.
Mtb has changed and I don’t like it.

And (though it has been a very long time) there used to be a good pastry store near the shop.

This is sounding like a lovely trip to South Sydney.
