You are right though, about Mfrs. only making one helmet for both designations... IF they offer both an SA and M version of the same model, they often just build to the SA spec, and then alter the lining as required.

Started running my pre-race check last night, and found three broken bolts on one of my BBS wheels. Hoping I can get this little problem fixed before Saturday. At least it explains the slow leak problem that appeared in that wheel after the last race.

Well the forecast is good... worst case is bust off the wets and mount up the drys...

I may not even take the wets and would offer you one (or a pair) to use but they're early offsets. Will be out there tomorrow (FATT) and happy to help if I can... You can't leave it up to just Steve and me to represent the SuperCup!

I have a set of wets as backup, but hoping it will be possible to fix the problem and re-seal the wheel tomorrow. I have fresh bolts and a inch pound torque wrench, so it is all down to getting a BBS socket tomorrow AM.
