Is it worth training in the aero helmet to get used to the ridiculous heat?

Oh, yeah :see_no_evil::rofl:

No! You’ll look like a tool

c’mon I think you people look like a tool with deep-sections, speed suits on a “bun run”, but others are happy, ride whatever helmet you want!

You’ve seen the Allez I’ve been riding all winter right?!

Of course not, I stay away from everyone like what I should!

I actually don’t know where the “you” came from in that sentence, I was meaning people in general, I’ve not actually seen you with deeps and a skinsuit ever, it was more general people as that is completely common round here as you know!

@d.t - just googled your helmet - that is a serious TT lid !

Remember that the Giro Advantage (2) was always seen as the ‘sex panther’ of aero helmets: fastest lid on 70% of people all of the time.
