ear stretchers in helmets?

[MrAnderson]

hey guys just thought of a question, might sound stupid but i have 16mm ear stretchers in my ears and just wondering if anyone knows if that would cause problems putting a helmet on/off?

Mate of mine has some.And says he's had no problems at all

[MrAnderson]

main concern is getting my ear cuaght on something in the helmet aswell as my stretchers have the huge hole in the middle :/

mine are 12 mm and when i used hard plastic ones often one would ping out when removing the lid, lost quite a few so changed to rubber ones and they seem to stay in better, haven't lost a rubber one yet

ah no good then i dont use sillicone tunnels i prefer the steel ones, so guess il have to carry around a few pairs for if/when i loose one

I got 10mm's and havent had a problem in 3 years.

In fact I didn't start stretching until after I started biking so I had all the tapers and shit in while using my helmet. Didn't have a problem.

If you have a problem with solid plugs/tunnels, use silicon ones, cause they can crush inside the helmet.

Iv got 24mm both ears titanium eyelets most of the time and im fine normally that is,
occasionally take off lid and plugs out at the same time

I just make sure everything's comfy

Tunnels are awesome! drop a gear, rev the nuts off it and tell me you don't like tunnels.

Lol.

On a side note, headphones. What're people using as my standard iphone headphones give me earache very quickly when the helmets squishing them in that bit more! Heard good things about skullcandy & reasonably priced at £8 posted on ebay

And tunnels are most definately gay, took mine out a few years ago!

I wear hearing aids and I can still wear a helmet alright. Putting it on however is a bugger as it sometimes knocks them out of my ear.

seeing as its below your ear and my hearing aid is 1cm wide pressing against ear and head, you'll be fine

I've never ridden in a tunnel before

[yes I know its his ear]
