I'm a mountain biker with a road bike and I'm not bothered about having all the right roadie kit. But I [u]hate[/u] riding on the road with an mtb lid. For some reason I notice it all the time (never do off road).
So, what's a good, cheapish roadie lid that's light and airy and unobtrusive (and might also do for the odd XC jaunt if necessary?
I have a Bell Alchera.Got mine for about £30 from Wiggle a couple of years back,good fit,really happy with it.
How much are you looking to spend?
Just take the peak of your mtb helmet......cheap
Taking the peak off just doesn't do it. I've got a Xen and a Hex and they just feel heavy and in the way when I'm on the road.
Guess I'd like to spend less than £50.
Bell do some cheap stuff or have a look in Decathlon, who also do Bell.
Spesh propero?

Ta for those suggestions. Will take a look. Any more?
Giros are big and bulky and tend to sit really high on your head.
What about a lazer o2 or a kask k10?
(Just outside of budget though)
Just to add, both david taylforth and tom boonen use lazer o2 helmets.
Giro Transfer? - can be had for £25 and I'm having trouble finding a replacement that fits as well as it does.
Like my savant. Fits me well, suppose it depends if you have a giro shaped head or not.
also got a giro transfer for road use... does the job no frills light and cool enough IMO...
I like my Bell Sweep - both road and mountain.
The Slant is also good and is cheaper.
