Helmet peaks

[SX KYD]

Hi all
Does anyone else suffer from a stiff neck when using a helmet with a peak ? Its OK on my mtb but on my roadie its bad news.....guess its due to the difference in riding position. Friend of mine has two helmets, one for each bike....and I thought he just being flash !

Cheers

My "road" bike is a flat bar hybrid so i still ride with a peak.

However, the helmet does allow the peak to be removed easily, and its the most comfy ive owned..

I have, and have never had any problems with a stiff neck, although my road bike had a fairly relaxed geometry.

No peaks on road bikes - bad form! See rule 35 .

I have both and the peak is for the commute.
Helps keep the rain n snow off my face and at stops the rain doesn't run down my face off the helmet.
I do however, get a bad ache in my neck on longer rides with my racing helmet - a giro atmos.

Wear it back to front like a baseball cap. You will look like a cool dude (Honest), and solve the problem.
