Samfujiabq, I can't pm you since i joined yesterday. Is there any way you can email me or pm me your email? I'll definitely take you up on that offer. thanks.

As for some of you, I think you have lost your minds and you need to go outside and ride more... lol. the sun is out and winter is over... just a heads up.

I think you're taking a silly post and blowing it way out of proportion.

Or maybe in a pack the wheels have a better advantage than the helmet, but not certainly worth the cost.
they're legal, but the disadvantages outweigh the advantages in a mass start race, specifically, 1) over heating, 2) reduced hearing of what's around you, and 3) looking like a total dork.

You are seeing, however, a new class of helmets designed for use in mass start racing that are more aero than a typical road helmet, but also have better cooling than a typical tt helmet.

Trust me when I say this, "you do not want to use this wheelset".

Tubular tires are a pain in the ass for most people.

Start the timer before people come in defending using tubulars in rec rides.

Do you think I posted this simply to help the OP?
