Aaah but can you have a specialized helmet if you don’t ride specialized.?! 
 

my OCD says it’s not allowed.!😳🤣🤣

Hoping that your helmet straps match those of your bibshorts/baggy inners.  😊 That would be next level.

Just two helmets with the latest being a matte black Smith Session MIPS.  Two reasons I like it, good coverage of the lower back of the head (as a long ago critical care para and lecturer I well remember seeing the consequences of injuries to that part of the head), and the LBS's owner accidentally sold it to me at 1k lower even after I repeated his price, twice.

I like knocking the Spez brand, but their helmets are the bomb bomb ... in fact my last two helmets have been Spez ones, and my next may well be one again too.

go accidentally buy yourself one or two ... and if you want to freshen up the inner padding after a season of riding you can readily get the new pads from a Spez dealer and it is also well priced.

Oh, also DO NOT try on a pair of their shoes while you are there, you may also accidentally end up buying a pair.

I also am not the biggest Spez fan, not because their products aren’t good. But rather I was not keen on becoming a disciple of the cult. I now own 4 S-Works helmets. They are super nice!

Hahahaha I have a cheap and cheerful pair of GTL shoes, they fine for now, well I had to put inserts in to get the support I was looking for.. I’ll upgrade in the near future, but to a pair of Lake I think.. 

I got a Met mile white helmet the other day,(decent helmet for the money) when I get a black helmet I will really consider a spez..🤣🤣

I haven’t been around long but I felt that “cult” vibe you are referring to immediately 🤣🤣🤣🤣
