Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I tried re-reeling it inside to no avail. No success.

What kind of helmet is it? Can you get parts for it? Performance has a big memorial day sale this weekend, maybe get another with a door buster sale.

How old is the helmet? If it's more than 3 years, you're probably due anyhow. Time to go shopping.

It's a Bell Gage. Relatively new

I think there's a way of putting it back in but I really don't know how. Ugh.
