Diesel Dan Sues Giro for Helmet Patent Infringement

A helmet that long in front of the head gives more leverage in a crash. I’d put a lot of money on it. I suppose if your head doesn’t twist at all though, it might be a bigger crumple zone. Guess we’ll just need to make sure all of our crashes are perpendicular to a flat immovable object.

In all seriousness, I could never wear that helmet, regardless of looks. I would not be able to get my head low enough. As it is, my Aerohead bounces off my hands occasionally.

Long time triathlete here who has owned multiple aero helmets. My initial reaction was this is just to far (and not talking about how far it sticks out in front of the head). It kind of makes me want the UCI to get rid of all aero helmets and only allow helmets under the ‘road helmet’ rules. That…

Lets all spare a thought for the poor UCI official measuring the bikes so that they conform to all the stupid rules while simultaneously having to ignore the rider with that on their head!

It ain’t looking any better from the front… [image] That said, based on the profile JV had, I bet it tests pretty damn fast. But I’ll gladly sacrifice a few watts for my dignity.

I wanna see someone photoshop it on to Roglic with it sitting too high, crooked and seemingly too small like in his infamous 2020 TDF time trial [image]

Does the neck buff increase or decrease drag though? I heard on the Nero show that some guy recently won a UCI road race while wearing a neck buff. Is that the latest aero hack? Can we get Dylan Johnson and GCN on this?
