 Posted: 08/10/04 - 23:23 Post subject: &!@#@ Helmet!
Ok, #1 a confession. I am mechanically challeneged. To "fix" something means to "call" someone. So there, I admit it. 
Bought my second helmet a while back so I'd always have a spare (ex-boy scout ya know). SAME size. SAME model. SAME manufacturer. SAME head. Don't fit.
Yeah, the bloody thing flops down into my eyes (or eyebrows really). Which makes me then want to flip it backward and loosen the chinstrap, which makes it less safe, which means that I'm just asking to fall off my bike (yes, I am an optimist).
SO - there were some little felt pads with sticky on them in the box. I'm making an assumption here, but I figure that's what they are for, since I can't find any OTHER little pads that I might replace them with.
The question is, WHERE do I put them?
p.s. and yes, I've adjusted the dealy in the back which pushes the plastic thing forward or back to tighten/loosen the helmet.

Here, there, anywhere. Really. The idea is placing those pads where "your" head shape needs them to rest the helmet on.
...lots of experimenting.

Helmets come with extra pads of various thickness. They are usually just velcroed on. Take the current ones out and replace with thicker ones until you get a good fit.
