Can I borrow your helmet?

Posted on
  • I'd like to borrow a black/ish aero helmet for a few days preferably this Saturday.
    Does anyone have one?
    It's ok if it's broken or old or whatever.
    If you have one that's not black that I could paint that'd work to.

    Anyone? Help please.


  • I am not using this for the next few days:

  • aren't they fairings, not helmets?? which were outlawed by most cycling governing body's as they don't protect during a crash.

  • a friend has a plain brown one, made by catlike i think. but yeah, it is just fairing not a helmet. let me know if it's any good to ya.

  • the two in the pics are helmets (well, twat hats to give them their correct name) - rather than just fairings - i think uci regs require that they should all now offer some level of crash protection.

    as an aside planet-x are flogging giro advantage twat hats for half price at the moment - £50 - including a rather nice matt black version

  • jonny a friend has a plain brown one, made by catlike i think. but yeah, it is just fairing not a helmet. let me know if it's any good to ya.

    Is it "aero-style"? Does it look like a helmet? It doesn't have to protect me from anything

  • dogsballs aren't they fairings, not helmets?? which were outlawed by most cycling governing body's as they don't protect during a crash.

    The rules were changed. Now all aero helmets used are actually helmets rather than just aero shells.
    Hence the old style 'hair covers' should be 'cheap cheap cheap'. Club TTs here don't seem to give a rats about hats though.

  • it is a full-on aero piece of kit roxy - more aero than the ones in your original post.

  • wheeeeee! yeah! will you whisper me your digits? I'll call you this evening and arrange pick up if that's ok?

  • She's already asked me to look around work for lycra (or spandex)...

  • like one of these?

  • Dude! I need that! You think I'm joking but I'm not. What would that item of clothing be called? I need it in black. See other thread... Ha!

  • roxy - is it for a photoshoot? i know one of the guys at sigma sports and i could ask him about borrowing a trisuit or assos bodysuit


  • The assos one isn't going to work. The main thing is really black or dark brown and the zipper down the front.
    Any help would be super appreciated!

  • northwave do this one

  • That's pretty bad-ass!!

  • do you want me to give him a ring and see if you can borrow it from the shop?

  • yes please, that'd be fantastic

  • i'll see if i can sort out the aero helmet as well

  • I think there are some in one of the random stuff boxes at work i will show mike tomorrow.
