I didn't bother to watch too much of the TdF this year as it was so boring. The Sky train made it so. So I only watched it when I was on night shifts. I think I missed the helmets. Got a pic?warthog1 wrote:I reckon TLL is right as an aero helmet correctly worn should smooth the air flow off the back of the scone.
Then again my funny looking, clapped between two bricks head, has a pretty small frontal area, so I don't know. Plus look at those non pointy helmets Sky were wearing at the tdf this year

I had a brief go of one and found it too wide for me. I have got an slr t1 that I have cut down and run as far forward as possible and I can do an hour race just. Its more the training in that position that hurts.

I don't find sitting on the saddle like you would a normal roadie saddle very comfortable at all... But in the extreme position I find it ok. Sitting on the nose of a normal saddle isn't good for the bits.
