Which helmets are more/less aerodynamic than others?
TT helmets that meet UCI guidelines
Am I correct that TT helmets do nothing for safety, and are only for speed?
No
Is there a relatively aero helmet that meets the same safety standards as all the "normal" styrofoam ones?
Yes
I find it odd that people can buy $1400 aero wheels when the helmet has considerably more frontal area than any entire wheel... discuss??
Look at areadynamic profiles, although areo wheels have less frontal area there is mire effect, not from the frontal pattern but the shape and laminar airflow...
I am sure someone who knows a bit more about mechanics will chime in here.
