Although, you can't beat that $79 deal! Thanks again, altiain!
That would be me, I just checked mine it's a M95! So looks like I am good to go! :cheers:Quote:

So, in other words, there is no real way to figure out what size you may be unless you go out and try them on - by brand, by size, by style. I'll be doing that before my birthday so that I can figure out what size BELL helmet to purchase.
I wish it were easier...
I found my from racing some indoor karts... kept trying on helmets 'till I found one that fit... XL...
I always knew I had a pumpkin head :lol:
Are the Bells carried by most cycle shops? If not, where can I go to try them on?
Since I own a Bell, I am just ordering the same size as my M2.Quote:

I got a new one for Christmas this year...it's an M2000 (since my '95 will be expiring at the end of this year) (mine's the X680 in silver):
linkie
my last helmet was a KCB, it was ok but I owned a BELL tourstar 2 that saved my life once,... I am sold on BELL products.
The helmet I buy will be a BELL and in addition will be a full face helmet since I have no airbags, and if I had not been wearing a fullface in that near fatal wreck it would have torn off my lower jaw...so says the DR in the emergency room.
Has anyone else ordered one of these helmets? I got mine yesterday, and was expecting a Bell helmet. It turns out to be a Rhodia, whatever the hell that is! :?Quote:

How much does it weigh?? Hows the quality?? Im seriousely considering one of these as a cheap, somewhat nice autocross helmet, untill I have the cash/need for a better one.Quote:
