... Steven, you'll feel a lot better if you finally learn how to use the "ignore thread" function. |

And yet the most extreme design without vents wasn't as aerodynamic as a bald head. Explain how your helmet with vents can be more aerodynamic than a V1 Pro. Oh, that's right - your proof of that proved just the opposite. |

I know of no ordinary, off-the-shelf helmet that's been shown to have a "more aerodynamic shape" than a V1 Pro, and I'm sure I've got more experience measuring aerodynamic drag than you have. You could prove me wrong, of course. Just tell us the make and model of your helmet, the one you're making these claims for. And point us to the drag measurements that you're using to make your conclusion. If you won't, it makes it clear that you're just trying to avoid proving yourself a liar. Unsuccessfully, of course! -- Frank Krygowski [To reply, remove rodent and vegetable dot com. Substitute cc dot ysu dot edu] |

A V1 Pro has vents. Mine does too, plus having a more aerodyanmic shape. Is that *really* so hard for you to understand? And a bald head is not relevant when you are not going to shave your head in any case. 1) You haven't a clue what "more aerodynamic" means unless your helmet was tested in a wind tunnel. Aerodymanics of low speed laminar flow shapes cannot be estimated unless you have hundreds of hours in wind tunnel research. I have 10's of hours. What about you? Oh, that's right - your proof of that proved just the opposite. Nope, and repeating yourself won't make it so. In case you've missed it, short hair is in. Short hair has a great deal less aerodynamic drag than a modern helmet. Modern helmets don't meet the Snell Foundation crash standards and perhaps HALF of them do not meet the 'voluntary' ANSI standards because they are self-certified. The fact of the matter is that wearing a helmet makes little if any sense but then you'll defend helmets to the death. Hopefully at the hands of a defective helmet. |
