yes, drop them in the ear pocket. make sure you buy tuneups "Drops"

Yes, just pry open. Tight seal keeps grim out.

r4

giro.com has a measuring tape you can download. I tried to add it here as a picture but it didn't work.

Aeon by a mile. Huge external vents as well as deep wind tunnel vents internally, and a svelte 220 grams.

On the body it clips to a jersey, pant pocket, hydration pack or helmet fit system. On your bike use the provided velcro to mount to your seat post, seat stay, or any other rear facing round tube.

The Array is a great helmet, no helmet store sunglasses as good as a jersey pocket. Honestly it depends more on the sunglass model than helmet.

Most Giro fit systems are replaceable...except the Prolight. Call 1-800-969-4476 and request a replacement Prolight. They are very fair on legit warranty items and this is one.

They are designed to do that. Showing visible signs of damage is your cue to call 1-800-wow-giro or 800-969-4476 for 30 % off on a new Aeon purchase.

The medium goes to 59 cm, it's not impossible you need a large but very unlikely. Does your old helmet have the inform fit system? This allows you to adjust the size of the helmet with a dial in the back. See video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urf14AByTEs

Pull down hard and back and forth slightly. Don't worry you can't break them.

Buy the G9 (or Ember for ladies) and add the Audio. Giro Tuneups cost $30-200.

Basic Tuneups are $30. Sound is great, speakers are Skullcandy.

No recall on the Keo 2 Max pedals. They are really nice, increased surface area under foot 12% , inlayed stainless wear protection and very lightweight. The only thing I have noticed is it took a few rides for the bearing seals to break in, now they spin like a top. If you have a sticky pair of seals LOOK will replace your axle set.

The Sarros does in fact have 23 vents. The only change between the 2009 model and 2010 are some of the colors. When evaluating ventilation don't compare the number of vents (bigger vents are better than more vents) but the size of the vents, also critical is the internal channeling. The Sarros has good vent size and internal channeling.
Also look at the Bell Array helmet. It's really sweet too.

Easton offers 2 different EC90 level road bars. The SLX3 is vey round, this includes the drop and the top, works great with all brake shifter combos on the market. The other is the EC90 Aero, this bar has a flattened wing section on top, and ergo bend in the drop. Both are sweet. If you want a flat top go Aero, if you're into the more traditional bend go SLX 3.

Pay attention to the torque spec and you'll be fine.

No visor on the Furio. If you want a visor go for the Sweep or Volt, both are aewsome helmets.

No. Ultra light, I would consider this best in class for weight, price and styling.

No, the lens shap on the Filter in medium, I'd say very similar to Flak Jackets. In the Giro collection you'd want the Semi Full or Havik Full. Full refers to the lens size being bigger.

The VLT or visable light transmission is 20%. This is a grey lens tint, very neutral and soothing.

No. Down under the buckle needs to be loop sewn to pass certification. In the US and EU we like to make sure the buckles are replacable. Sorry, but you'll need to purchase in Australia.

The lens color is Rose with a flash Silver mirror coating. This is a very universal lens tint, great for bright sun and medium light conditions.

The only XL helmet Giro makes is the G9. It's huge, if you have a big mellon get it. White, and Black only.

yes, they click in and out very clean.

I use Accelerade and love it. I have found protein speeds hydration and recovery, the taste is awesome too. The recovery drink R4 is great also. And if you're doing short rides, less than 1.5 hours try the h
Hydro, it has the same ratio of carbs and protein but fewer calories, (great for spin class).

As with all sport drinks don't leave this stuff in your bottle overnight it can get nasty fast.

Totally ridiculous. If you are racing cat 1 or 2 you could have these as some race day wheels. Otherwise save your money, or you'll just be another out of shape roadie on high end gear I pass on my 35 lb trail bike.I disagree with the above........If nicer gear inspires you to ride more, it's well worth it. I'd shop at Wal Mart if I bought bike gear that reflected my abilities! Why would I do that? KCThere is no rider weight limit on any Easton wheels. I weight 175 on a light day and ride these wheels on my favorite climbs, they insire me to ride hard and keep up with my friends. Consider if you're are hard on wheels or not.

You will not need an XS unless you're 8 years old. The Small has an inform fit system that opens and closes from 52-55.5 cm.Most women are Small or Medium only. Medium fits from 55.5-59cm.
