It seems that the laws of physics and mathematics has resulted in my 6'3" frame and double bubble screen creating a perfect collision area of wind blast direct to me at face level.  :'( [size=78%]  [/size]

I'd welcome the views and advice of similarly tall riders who have a set-up that is more comfortable than mine.  I currently have a powerbronze double-bubble.


Many thanks. Ride safe.

The problem is that the air that the screen is displacing has to flow somewhere, at 6'3" you're going to need a pretty tall screen to try & deflect it over your head, so you would probably be better off going in the other direction & opting for a smaller screen in order to take it on your chest as that would be less of a discomfort than your present set up.[/size]
