I have some old high vis Giro with my helmet light mount for commuting/low light,
another lightweight Giro MIPS that I use most of the time (Forget which)
then a Limar Air Speed for hammer rides and racing
TT, I have the Giro Aerohead and the previous generation Sworks. Pretty sure the Aerohead is faster on me but I haven't reviewed my testing data yet

I damn near bought on of the Giro road aero helmets a few years ago while working at Performance, probably a good thing I didn't. Even though it was cheep it probably wouldn't have gotten much use.
I think that one had golf dimples on it, and a more built-in visor than that red one has.

This helmet is so light weight. Feels like I am wearing nothing. Also nice to have a helmet where I can fit my sun glasses for once. My other helmets didn’t have a way for me to store them. I have broken a lot of sun glasses.

They said rain here after 4:00 a.m. but it was dry when I got up so I went riding on my mtb for a couple hours. It rained a bit after I got home and now they're predicting rain for days.

Flight back was much better than flight out, fortunately. Both legs left early and arrived on time.

Also, the TV has been wall-mounted and is back in my life after a six-month hiatus.

Possibly progress. First pic is with end cap on. I was able to remove by grasping it with a pliers and preventing axle from spinning by wrench on non drive side. The axle ends do not accept a hex wrench like other hubs I have used. Second pic shows cap removed. The freehub body slides off the axle by a few mm but there must be another internal cap holding it on. Suggestions again are welcomed.

DT Swiss end caps are toolless. The are a tight fit, so you'll need to put a little muscle into it.

See above, end cap off but freehub body won’t come off. I wonder if I have to remove axle fixing bolt from NDS and slide out axle from DS?
