Bell Drop slightly loose - any way for a better fit?

**e.man** · 12-09-2009 08:43 PM

So I just got a bell drop at wheel world for $70. My head measures 54.5cm around. The sizing chart says a small is 50-55cm and a medium is 55-60cm. I went to a few bike stores around town and no one carried them. So I ended up ordering a small. Well I got an e-mail a few day later saying that the smalls were all out. I went ahead and got a medium.

The helmet arrived today. To get it onto my head, I have to squeeze it on. But once it's all the way on it opens up a bit. It fits decently, but it's not snug. If I shake my head the helmet wiggles some. Is there anything you guys recommend to get a better fit? Extra pads or anything like that?

Grow more hair.

unfortunately the opposite is about to happen. My mom has been nagging at me to get it cut.

go to the craft store and buy some foam of some kind and use it to supplement the padding

Well, if the hair thing isn't going to work... My Bell helmet came with a set of fit adjustment pads that I don't use. They're still sealed in the plastic bag, so they don't have my lice, cooties, sweat or dandruff on them. PM me your address and I'll send 'em free of charge.
