Both of my current pairs of (cheap) cycling glasses end up sitting under my helmet as I ride, which creates pressure points that get a bit sore on longer rides. I'm planning on treating myself to a nice pair and I'm currently thinking of either Oakley jawbreakers, 100% speedcraft, or Smith Attack Max. Does anyone have any experience of these and how long the legs are on them? Also, do they look like they'd tolerate having 1 cm or so cut off the legs?
Jawbreakers have adjustable length arms, so can be shortened to some extent. I use mine in their shortest length setting with a Kask Mojito on the road and they don't clash at all. I've got a big head too!
Can take a picture or measure stuff if you think it would help.
Thanks, just had a wee google and the temple adjustment looks like it would do the business! If it's not too much hassle, would you mind measuring the leg length on the shortest setting? I've seen 121 mm posted as the length on one website, but it doesn't say what setting it was on.
Bit hard to measure something so curvy with a straight ruler, but I've tried to do it from the middle of the arm hinge:
Shortest setting:
Longest setting:
FWIW, I actually use mine on the middle of the three lengths!
Perfect, thanks! My current ones are both about 120 mm from the hinge, so I think these would work well with about 10 mm less on the shortest setting. Ideally I'd go somewhere and try them on, but I can't see many shops wanting you putting things on your face in the next few months!
