    Anyone done it – thoughts?

    I’m just looking at a Cairbull aero TT helmet with a built in magnetic visor for £18 with free postage.

    That way better than anything I can either get second hand here!

    I realise the CE mark is most likely rubbish, not that it bothers me, it’s not like a helmet is actually going to be of much protection in anything more than a light bump anyway – but lets not start the helmet debate.

    I bought a jersey from an Ali

    I bought a jersey from an Ali Express trader called “Spexcel”- I just wanted something to wear on the turbo. Zip broke first time I put it on. When I requested a refund they suggested I fix the zip with a pair of pliers. I’m still trying to get my money back now. 

    Don’t buy a helmet unless you know it’s going to do it’s job the one time you’ll need it to. If they are willing to fake a CE mark there’ll be other corners they’ll cut during manufacture and testing. A broken jersey zip is one thing, a piece of safety equipment is another. Although it’s your head and you can do what you want with it.

    edit- spelling.

    It’s cheap for a reason and if you accept that then it sounds like a good buy
