So my helmet isn't wrecked by the impact-dent?

Separate question. That helmet is actually pretty old, being on its third bike. Is there a natural raging process (embrittling?) of helmet materials that requires helmets to be replaced after x time?

Andre Jute

And impact dent ix fatal to any possible protection from a helmet Styrofoam compressed is useless. It is USED to prevent fractures of the skull and being without any cushioning anywhere at all in the helmet renders it worthless.

Yes, there is embrittlement with aging of the Styrofoam but it is a LONG process.

I bought a Chinese helmet for $23 off of Ebay and it is the best fitting helmet I ever had.

I don't care about the money. But I like the helmet, a Bell Citi, designed for cyclists who sit upright, with bars higher than the seat, and Bell no longer makes it. The Citi is a super helmet with a visor, and a channel in which you can attach proprietary mirror, bug screens on its many, many vents, super fit, etc. I shoulda bought a couple of spares while they were still current production.

Thanks for the info, Tom.

This style was the inspiration for Citi:

It's not a bad idea, and my local equestrian store, from whom I buy the neatsfoot oil I use on my leather saddles and grips, stocks either the same or very similar helmets. But 444 grammes? And only 3 forward-facing vents?

One looks at these equestrian helmets and start to understand why a cyclist's helmet is a specialist item.

Now do something really useful and tell me you have some NOS Citi in stock in a choice of colours.
