WANTED: Loan of a pointy hat

[Andy E]

As you may know, Team ACC heads to Wales next week for the RAS Cymru 5-day stage race. There's a prologue as well as a TTT so i'm after all the help i can get against the clock If anyone has a pointy hat (proper safety one, not just a faring) that they wouldn't mind lending for the duration (1-5 July) it would be very much appreciated.

Who knows, your generosity could make all the difference between 1st and 2nd (or more likely 41st or 42nd )

You should have read that rulebook I sent you! - no pointy hats allowed

[Andy E]

I did, but i read that as no farings i.e. it has to be a proper crash hat too, no?

i am not sure what it exactly means - are there crash-approved aero helmets?:

[quote]Riders
o must wear all four numbers for the time trial i.e. 2 arm and 2 on the back of
jersey
o may use time-trial adapted bikes for the time trial.
o must wear an approved crash helmet (NOT aero-helmets)

[Andy E]

K, sent a mail to the organiser to clarify.

[Andy E]

From the organisers..

[quote] You can wear an aero helmet for the TT stages - as long as it does meet the BC standards as an approved safety helmet.

Do you wanna borrow a TT bike as well? 54cm Cervelo frame, oval bars, keo pedals, campag gubbins. Corima wheels, tri spoke n disk (used the front never used the rear - have a mavic open pro with disk wheel covers that's tried and tested. Bearing in mind that waterproof you sold me is a perfect fit this will fit u like a glove

Medium Giro Advantage up for grabs, as long as I get it back for the inter-club TT on the 7th.

[Andy E]

Great response guys, v kind. Snoop, i accept your conditions and shall PM you to arrange collection

[Andrew G]

I too have a Giro Advantage medium that one of you can borrow if you like, I've got a 25 on the 5th but I'll wear my fairing for that as I don't have to be UCI compliant and don't think it has any special conditions about my helmet .
