Awesome! I just called Giro about pads for my Giro Pneumo and the lady said I would see them in about 7-10 days. Saved me about $10 for pads that I wasn’t sure would be OEM or fit the helmet. Thank you so much for the info.

The ballistic type moves of kettlebell workouts like the swing, clean, snatch build up your leg and glute strength and speed.

So it’s no surprise you’ve been improveing your speed. A lot of the chariot racers (cycling sprint racers), will train almost exclusively via weightlifting methods which involve the snatch, power clean and front squats.

Hey John- This has nothing at all to do with your post. I’m looking for some pics from previous CROC rides and was wondering if I might use one or two of yours for this year’s promo stuff?

Wow, this kicks butt. Thanks John. Just had the same experience as everyone else. 7-10 days. Mine were really getting a little long in the tooth. Nothing like free

Just like TimF says, my “courtesy Pads” will be here in 7-10 days. I can not read the stickers inside my Pneumo so I guessed large due to the melon size in my family. (got it from my triathlon crazed brother)

This 1-800 number still works, and no charge, at least for this, my first, set of replacement pads.

As the Giro phone rep said, “Courtesy Pads” for my 2001 Pneumo will arrive in the mail in 10 days.

cool.

Thanks for the link!

yikes – but at least you now know what you are dealing with

DO the Rehab, IMPROVE your posture, neck strength & flexibility (this is just a side step) – good luck

& I agree I like the strength training much more, too

take care
