The new Helium will be found floating in the air just above Booth number 1756, where
you'll also see the rest of the line of helmets that I think have the best retention system
available. If these breathe well, scratch "shaved head" from the Look paragraph above
and insert one of these helmets.
GIRO always have a packed house but most folks still think lid. This time you have to
give em a hand...
Or two... The new LXLF is just one of several new grippers that Giro are bringing this
year as well as an updated eyewear line (that still doesn’t get enough credit...). I've lost
the booth number but they won't be hard to spot.
And something I might consider wearing for the show is the new Integrated Jersey
drinking system from Camelback.

The VeloBack is a 3 pocket breathable jersey with built in Hydration. No word on

Camelback and you can find it (and a new flow meter and a couple more products) at
booth 3955.
Topolino is launching two new wheel models with their new TrueBlack™ spokes
designed to yield higher tensile stiffness. TrueBlack™ CTR 2.0 is smooth, durable and
responsive, and weigh 1360 grams for the set, while the more aero shaped “balances
enhanced aerodynamics with stability and control in changing cross-wind conditions.”
See ‘em at booth 4818.
That's it. Time to go to sleep and wake up next week ready to go!
Have Fun,
