with nothing to do with my now-broken bell sweep, i decided to take it apart to see how things work. in case anyone's interested it's possible to remove the ratcheting headband and straps without any tools, so i took all that stuff out and put it in the metropolis i bought and now it fits much better, even if i probably voided the warranty.
