Skylark Posted January 11, 2017 Share Erm... no. That just replaces the easy-to-do-at-home remote bleed. The rest of the post still needs to be looked after. This system does give you a much wider choice of levers though.And easier/quicker bike/frame swops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn_skollie Posted January 11, 2017 Share Sizing is spot on, with good adjustability via Giro's Roc-Loc Air DH mouthful of a retention system. The cheek pads provide for a pretty snug fit. From the little riding with it i've done, it didn't feel warmer than the TLD drone, despite providing more wrap-around coverage. Plenty more riding to be done in much warmer weather. I'll knock out a review then. Make sure you have a friend or two tagging along. For every time you respond to a mid climb comment with:'Sorry what was that? I couldn't hear you.'You'll have to de-merit the final review by half a star. Capricorn and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Gordo Posted January 11, 2017 Share I hear you Capricorn. The amount of ventilation looks pretty similar to similar helmets and like you said the wrap around is the only difference or extra. Here some pics to get a better perspective The bell has the mos holes, but the other 2 have larger holes Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted February 17, 2017 Share I bought some 661 recon knee pads as a lightweight pad to wear on short rides in the belts from home. They weigh 150g a pair and the size L fitted me although they seem a little tight. They are a bit like the G Form pads but the better looking cousin in the family. For some reason i read the paperwork and label in the pads both of which deny that the pads are for protection at all - they are just compression garments they say. How hilarious. They are knee guards on the website and other packaging, but the fine print says they aren't. I based my purchase on reviews which obviously mentioned the light weight and protection for minor incidents only, which is why I bought them. Anyone have any G Form or Recon horror stories?

Anyone have any G Form or Recon horror stories?Jip, on our Morzine trip in 2014 the one rider with G-Form kneepads spent 5 days in the chalet with a heavily lacerated knee. Pads looked like nothing was wrong, except an obvious spot where some shale punctured and ripped him apart. Was on a fire road too if a recall. NOthing gnarly.

Until you actually need a kneepad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
