February 8, 201115 yr I need to be careful with the helmet I buy for my road bike as most are too 'round' in shape and give me a blinding headache. I do know of two models that are designed to fit my head shape and they're fine. I tried on a few trials open face helmets today and they all seemed to be very uncomfortable. Does anyone know of a model that suits a narrower 'bonce'? Peter
February 9, 201115 yr Hard to say without knowing which ones you tried. However The Airoh "Rock" does seem to suit a lot of riders and it is very light.

February 9, 201115 yr have you tried a Shoei? i had the same problem, bought one, great fit. (i use Shoei road helmets too, best fit.)
February 9, 201115 yr Author Thank you for that I'll look out for Shoei to try for fit. The TR3 is a bit pricey. I use an Arai Viper GT for the road, ideal. I don't want to pay huge money for something to bounce a branch off occasionally Peter

Good price and seems decent bang for buck!

February 20, 201115 yr Yep I wore it a little around the house last night You must have looked a right pratt
February 20, 201115 yr Author You must have looked a right pratt Whatever you think I look like you weren't there and if I don't feel one I'm not really bothered what you think
