In reply to: El jefe' 's message, "Aero helmets?" on 01:48:11 08/30/03 Sat

in the US, only approved aero helmets are authorized for race use, which is limited to Bell, Troxel and the popular LG Prologue, as well as a couple others.

in England, there is no requirement, hence the aero carbon 'head fairings'

according the John Cobb, aero helmets do indeed work, but so does taping the holes in a standard helmet

food for thought
