Is It Time We Banned Silly TT Helmets? | GCN Tech Show Ep. 451

This week on the GCN Tech Show, we investigate whether modern Time Trial helmets have officially become too ridiculous and if the UCI should step in to preserve the sport's aesthetic. We also break down the worrying news regarding insolvency proceedings for the Accell Group, owners of iconic brands like Raleigh and Lapierre. Plus, we look at a new lightweight climber from Look and two very ambitious cycling Kickstarters featuring AI and AR technology.

Ollie and Si are divided: Are these massive TT helmets an impressive feat of engineering, or are they making pro cycling look a bit too silly? Would you ride in one if it saved you 10 watts, or is looking cool more important? Let us know in the comments! 👇
