Subject: Large time trial helmets?
|
Hi All,
I am in the market for a time-trial helmet. Due to perhaps a
combination of having a large fluid filled cavity in my brain as well
as an IQ above 75, my helmet size is around 62cm. I have not found
reference to any time-trial helmets that are available in this size.
Does anyone know of any? The uni-size LAS Crono allegedly fits to 61
and I have another uni-size LAS helmet that while it fits, looks like
a beanie perched on the top of my head, so I am skeptical that the LAS
would actually fit properly.
Suggestions?
Joseph

I borrowed a Met aero helmet from a buddy and by carefully removing
the plastic harness/strap thingee I was able to get my noggin in
there, but it didn't sit right. I suppose as a last resort for a
helmet that doesn't fit I could use a hot-wire cutter, or some
cautious acetone spillage, but again only as a last resort.

I have a similarly sized melon and similar trouble buying helmets. You didn't
hear this from me.... do you know what a hot wire cutter is? Carving a bit of
material away from the inside of the helmet is probably not going to lead to a
fatal crash. A rasp will also do the deed.
