Home made aero helmet

Just seen this topic and was going to mention Xav's helmet. Made the Dr's column in the comic at the time.

Here is an earlier attempt by someone else

That's Xav's.

Obviously he's going to cut some holes and glue quality street wrappers over them

ftfy. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Why stop at the head?

@Polka Dot: if you can provide me with your geometry, I can run some CFD simulations for you. Sadly the only laser scanner I can get free access to is desktop sized. You're not a Borrower, are you?

That's a generous offer rwn, thanks. I think it'll be some time before I get around to taking the necessary measurements for that.

Hippy, that man makes some amazing helmets, all by hand in his basement in Munich. If he made one for cycling im sure it would be bloody good.

To be honest he very probably just made a mistake. you're so pumped up trying to get your shit together and get out of transition ASAP it's easy to just whack that sucker on backwards.

Sort of...

Actually..

I was thinking - it might be a good idea to have one green lens and one red.
That way you'll see in actual 3D
which would be wicked

Has this been air-oed yet?

bring those aero bars forward and you can make the hour record.
