Hi,
I went helmet shopping today determined to finally get one (after three attempts, my fault for bargain hunting on the web) that fits me perfectly.
I went to the biggest bike store here in Dublin and the assistant helped me pick out the Specialized Telluride (in fairness to him, probably the cheapest lid in the shop). It seemed to fit perfectly, and the fact that it is marketed as a MTB helmet doesn't bother me.
When I got back to work I looked it up on the web and found a post on another forum with the results of a British consumer association helmet test which refused to recommend the Telluride as its crash retention (ability to stay stuck on yer head when you crash) was poor.
Do any of you have any experience, first or second hand, of this helmet?
I will keep it in its box as I may want to bring it back. I'm just reluctant to do so as it really did fit me perfectly.
Thanks.
