time trial helmets
Hello all!
Any news on whether the time trial helmets (as seen in the tour) will go on sale to the general public? Also, are the crash 'standards' these helmets had to meet the same as the Australain standards? Paul |

Also, are the crash 'standards' these helmets had to meet the same as the Australain standards? The standards they have to comply with are anyone's standards, ie American or European, or whatever. The Australian standards are different again to everyone else's standards. I can't imagine an importer paying to have a TT helmet ASNZ certified, the market would be so small. I do not know of any TT helmets that are for sale in Australia, but there are plently on the market overseas, try a google search for "Louis Garneau prologue" or "LAS Omologated". Cheers Gemma |

I have been wondering, why go with the fairing on the helmet,
while the biggest drag-inducing bluff end has none - the rider's backside. What about a foam fairing attached to the knicks? Against the rules? But it's only padding, Mr Commissar. |

Just get suitably shaped airtight knicks and fart continuously...

I only go fast with a tail wind, so streamlining would not be a good idea for me. -- Marx SS |

I've copped a wicked headwind to work every morning this week, but I smashed my best time coming home by over a minute yesterday. Bring on that low pressure system! Bow |
