Go to a store and try some on.
Even helmet sizes from the same manufacturer can be different. For example, I found the Giro Atmos and Ionos fitted differently, despite being very similar looking helmets.

True ive got a Giro Monza at the moment and that fits ok, i had a fit of a few at the weekend but they didnt have a Kask to try :( wasnt much between the others that i noticed tho

The Kask Mojito suited a big head like mine however be wary of the up and down mechanism. It makes a great fit but can cause issues with your sunglasses.

I went from a Monza to an Atmos. Better fit for me and a much lower profile.

As said, I didn't get on with the fit of the Ionos or the Prolite.

Ah, that makes more sense :)

I wonder if you can order from Aus but deliver to UK addresses ;)



Why not just pop in tesco and get a few from there? Unless I'm dumb and there's such thing as good inner tubes and bad ones.

I'm screwed if I get a flat anyway though because I bent my metal tyre lever just getting those Marathon Plus' on in the first place, and I had to have help to hold it on while I did it.

Especially if, like me, you had the red / white version.....

I was just looking at this on amazon, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kask-Mojito-Road-Cycling-Helmet/dp/B007MNERYS/ref=pd_sim_sbs_sg_2 its £100 so i would be able to pick it up for £50 with my voucher, is the up/down thing a real pain with glasses? because i wear them all the time

They also have the K-10 Race for £130 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kask-K-10-Race-Performance-Helmet/dp/B005YZK0IS/ref=pd_sim_sbs_sg_3

Works internet rubbish so typing on phone. I need 700x18/23c inner tube and want to call in halfords. Their sizes make no sense even when I convert. Which is the best value multipack please and also link to a reasonable priced alternative I can send for. Thanks

We do 3 sizes which will fit:

700 x 18 - 25c (005546)
700 x 23 - 32c (005462)
700 x 19 - 23c (long valve) (155831)

I'd say go for the first one, easier to fit being a smaller tube. Unless you have deep section aero rims, then you'll need the long valve size.
Item codes are in brackets incase you need them :)

They should be on a 3 for 2 deal, so you'll get 3 for £10.

It really depends on the glasses mate. I've got a pair of clear Bolle safety glasses and they are fine. I have a pair of no brand interchangeable lenses and they don't fit. The Bolle's do have thinner ends to the arms of the frame.

I've just ordered some BBB Arriver glasses after trying them on at the Cycle Show. They have been used on the tour (as have Kask helmets but I'm not sure if together) and have got rubber flexible ends so hopefully will be fine as they'll flex over the plastic up and down bracket at the back of the helmet.

The helmet is fantastic, really comfy and vents well but I'd try one on in your local shop if possible, take your specs with you. Infact, I'd recommend trying any helmet on before you buy.

I just got one of these from Wiggle. Awesome fit and very light.

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/kask-mojito-road-helmet-2012/

Use code: Barca20 for 20% off anything over £70 @ Wiggle. Net's it for £80.

When I picked mine up they also had a spend £100 and get a £15 voucher in October. So I added on £20 of extras which basically worked out free and I'll get another voucher next month. You can also go through Quidco for an extra 3%.
