We took a short trip from Pittsburgh to Dayton, Ohio last weekend. Not far, but we did a little over 600 miles. The screen gives good air flow, which is nice on a hot day, and it was over 90F most of the time. ON the way home, it had rained, and cooled off a bit. We also rode late, at night, so it was cooler. Still, it was comfortable in a mesh jacket with the wind flowing over me.
The screen is not as quiet at the medium CalSci. What it does well though, is allow you to run the screen in the lowest position, without too much turbulence. I found having the wing in the lowest position, with it parallel to the screen, worked the best. I am using the arms on the wing mount. With the wing set high, it was loud, and gave turbulence.
I would like to remove the arms, and install the single pivot mount to see how that works, but am having a difficult time getting the locking pin out. If anyone has done this, and has any tips, I would appreciate it. The instructions say to pull it out, but I cannot get good purchase on it to pull it out.
I will probably keep the screen for the hot days, but I can see it won't give much protection from the rain, and I am not sure I will like it on 700+ mile days. It may be too fatiguing for that kind of distance. Most of my riding over the years involved 700+ mile days. That may not be the case anymore though. Unless I am on a trip, I will probably use this screen.
