Needing to replace mtb lid soon and this one has caught my eye. Anyone using it with a Joystick and the Exposure mount ? The top vents look like they may be too large a diameter...

I've got a catlike leaf and a Joystick but don't have the helmet at home. I'll be able to check on Saturday if no one else comes back to you.

I'll try it on the top and side, just in case you change your mind ๐Ÿ™‚

cheers Gary ๐Ÿ™‚ It won't be going on the side - enough sore necks and back issues without an imbalanced load on ma heid !

Yes they do just fit (side to side, front to back are a bit larger) and you don't even need to change the white nylon screw.

Sorry Iain, I mean the disc for the mount fits width way, the hole in the lid is longer front to back, than it is wide, so you'll have a slight gap there.

just arrived looks pretty decent for the money. Will give it a proper try on for fit tonight as currently in open plan office ๐Ÿ™‚

Those who have them, how do you like 'em ?

Cheers

Mesh stops quite far forward so fine for mount. Helmet doesn't suit my head shape though, so back to Wiggle and another Giro for me !
