Giant Defy Mudguards

[Lurkin]

After switching from 23c tyres to 25, there is not enough clearance between the front brake/ bottom of the front forks, to use my current mudguards, being Crudracers.

I've noted from internet searches that the the Giant Defy Mudguards are well regarded in the UK for those with clearance issues. I would prefer these to SKS raceblades.

(1) does anyone know where to get them in Australia? Googling has not been particularly successful at locating them
(2) has anyone had experience with them? Good, average or ugly?

Ask a Giant dealer?

Yep - I've emailed all the Giant dealers in Melbourne re same, just waiting on responses.

After emailing all of the dealers on Giants website, the minimal number of responses were appalling.

All bar one simply referred to various SKS guards... despite being less than a full guard and inferior...

Only one had a full answer, stating they are not available in Australia (did they even try??? I'll never know).

Thank God I don't own a Giant bike!

Guess I'll buy them from somewhere in the UK...
