Jumbo has brought out the most hideous helmet in the history of cycling, for aero purposes on the TT.

i never understood why people care about the aesthetics of functional items.

I'm sure your post history about LSU uniforms is perfectly aligned with this statement.

Looks like he's about to activate the Turbo Laser to destroy Alderaan

Looks completely ridiculous and stupid obviously, but from eye aero test, also very fast. Basically the same goal as shoving a water bottle down your chest, which has become popular in triathlon. Reduce any gap between the head, chest, and arms that causes wind interference

im not talking about things that have functional elements and then arbitrary aesthetic design elements.

Im talking about purely functional things that people complain about the form.

Im assuming the thing you dont like about this helmet in the OP is the shape? well thats the whole point of it. the shape is the thing.

its like F1 fans complaining about the shape or look of a new spoiler.


What does the inclusion of piping on an LSU baseball uniform have to do with performance?

adds weight to the uniform and slows down our players on base paths

my HS coach laughed when I told him I would only wear single digit numbers because double digits were too heavy.

The model numbers must agree that it's aerodynamically slippery. It's definitely got that Star Wars Death Star lazer dude vibe going.
