Kranswurm Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 After reading this fred, I think it's time for a new helmut. Â Â I think my helmet is about 5 years now. Â Problem is that I can't find something that I like the look of On a more serious note helmets do have a life span 2 to 3 years max Disylizzy 1
Lynnie_the_Snail Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 I've had my current one for about three years now, and it think it's time.....Â
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 You really shouldn't be doing that to your helmet...Agreed, you dont wash polystyrene cups do you?? Just about the same thing, roughly.I do the shower wash once every other month.
Rocket-Boy Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 You guys think it's time for me to replace my one year old Bell? 522.jpg523.jpg1044.jpgQuite fortunate that they have such a good crash replacement policy. Wannabe 1
Edge540 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Quite fortunate that they have such a good crash replacement policy.Nah. Just a bit of super glue and some insulation tape and you'll be good to go.
burty Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 been riding mine for 5 years now with no crashes, always took it it was ok but now concerned, prob time to upgradeÂ
intern Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 You guys think it's time for me to replace my one year old Bell? 522.jpg523.jpg1044.jpgDuct tape. Wannabe 1
intern Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Probably time to replace my helmuts, interested to read the comments here (and poor Wannabe's fail).My Giro Atmos looks like new still, so does my Uvex whatever model it is. But they are around 8 years old.Wouldn't put them in a dishwasher, do the shower thing occasionally but more often wash with cold water and hand soap...
Wannabe Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Quite fortunate that they have such a good crash replacement policy.  R150.00 for the replacement. Had my new helmet within a week.  Rouxenator and intern 2
Rouxenator Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Bottom drawer too?No, too hot. The element is at the bottom and I do not want to expose the helmet to that kind of heat especially in the drying part of the wash.Â
