(which doesn't review their kids helmets, or the kiddimoto ones as far as I can tell). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13534#post-167336 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 10:02:56 +0000 wingpig 167336@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A Giro Flume (50-57cm) is 250g (258g on the label). The Specialized Flash must have been the one with insufficient adjustability of the straps. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13534#post-167327 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 09:55:19 +0000 HankChief 167327@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My kids have Bell helmets, which t'internet tell me should be 310 grams. </p> <p>I could check they actually weigh that tonight. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13534#post-167325 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 09:50:17 +0000 SRD 167325@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>cool. we (well, mrsrd) have a which membership. will ask him to check it out. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13534#post-167318 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 09:31:48 +0000 wingpig 167318@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have appended a request to confirm that it's a Specialized Flash which has been requested to be weighed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13534#post-167317 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 09:29:52 +0000 chdot 167317@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I believe Which is viewable on-line at the Central Library (you have to ask). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13534#post-167316 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 09:26:56 +0000 wingpig 167316@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have sent home a request for a Specialized Flash to be weighed, seeing as the internet won't tell me. The Which? review might have done, but it's not visible without registration. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13534#post-167313 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 09:19:17 +0000 chdot 167313@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"I'd like to ask for immunity from 'debate' "</p> <p>Don't think anyone is going to start arguing <em>against</em> personal/parental choice. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13534#post-167308 Wed, 08 Oct 2014 09:07:36 +0000 SRD 167308@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>* As with other children's helmets threads I'd like to ask for immunity from 'debate' about the principles of h*#mets here *</p> <p>My youngest has outgrown his second helmet. I'd been intending to get him a red kiddimoto helmet mainly cause they look cool. But I picked one up at the nearly new sale and was struck by how heavy it was. I can't find weight specs for them online. </p> <p>Does anyone have one they could weigh for me? his head is 53 cm now so he'd need a medium size (another confusion is that kiddimoto says they have 3 sizes - S/M/L - but chain reaction says they sell S-M and M-L (I'm assuming that this is because they're in the kids section, so they L is actually an adult size??) </p> <p>Any advice on comparative weight would be helpful. At least one of the other websites says weight 'from...' Which I suspect means that weight is for their smallest helmet. So tricky to compare to equivalent Medium. </p>
