Here goes, last week i realised the tyres on my xc bike are useless in this weather, so i'm changing them, however today i wanted to ride and the bike is at the shop, so... i dug out some cyclocross tyres and stuck them on the brakeless, purple fixie, my loop is nothing near as technical as trail centres but it isn't flat either, so my words to you is, try something different it'll cheer you up in this cold bleak summerless weather, enjoy!

well yes, helmets are vented, thus allowing cold air onto my head, whereas my wooly hat was nice and warm

So put your helmet over the top of it... its adjustable right?

I am a big fan of fixie, used them to commute on for the past couple of years, I did come across a site once that was for people who used fixed MTB off road :shock:

Helmets are amazing. Now, im 14 and i hate weraing it, but I came off my bike not to long ago up in Afan Valley. If i wasn't wearing a helmet, im not sure if i would be here now. Quite a big accident indeed.

LOL this looks a bit daft. but as I can imagine it probably keeps you very warm. But wearing one without a helmet would make u look like a pillock... as you have said. personally i would nether buy one! :wink :P

birchy

This looks pritty nifty and handy. But if your swaeting alot whilst MTBing, whont the the "BUFF" be come full of your sweat. Or is there something im missing.

I wear a buff and I've never found I get too sweaty, in fact i wear it so it only covers the back of my head and my neck & chin, I find I overheat if i cover my whole head, I have skater style healmet though and this only has 5 or 6 small vents.

Just admit it, you're too cool for a helmet right :x

spongtastic

fall off and realise the only people that can see your cool bike shop logo are the paramedics trying to pull bits of fluff out of your skull.......
