fnarf fnarf 🙂

got a new helmet today - its a roadie helmet - a stradovarius - never bought a road spec helmet - this one is a very snug fit (Medium) but no gap at the back of the helmet att all. I cant feel teh back of the helmet unless I push on it - the Large I think would prob be massive - anyone xperience with road helmets and snuggness of fit? As I wont be bounching around on rocks then I presume it will be OK? (sorry difficult to comment on I guess 🙂 )

When it hurts

On the other hand, if you can remove the helmet when the strap is [correctly] fastened by by lifting it from the back & pulling forward, it's too big

There should be no gap at the back - thats a decent fit by the sound of it - the snugger the better until it becomes uncomfortable
