a word of warning!

Hi All,
A word of warning to all those pro-connect s owners and other speed freaks out there..

Loving your bike too much won't make you blind but it might make you deaf

University of Bath News

p.s. Is my Kalkhoff really that quiet or am I deaf as a post? Sorry? Didn't quite catch that!

This noise problem inside full-face crash helmets has long been a problem, but I've found as most have that good earplugs do help considerably, despite what that article says. With earplugs I could happily cruise at well over 100 mph* in comfort, which is unbearable for me without plugs.

*not on the e-bike.

I found the earplug comment strange as well, makes me wonder what his motives are for it.
I found a decent helmet design made a huge difference, Roof are far quieter than other brands I've used. The motorbike shape and fairing also makes a big difference as the helmet can sit in turbulence or clean air, I hope they think about that during the study.
