Allrounder Posted March 2, 2016 Author Posted March 2, 2016 Well done to the good samaritan.Reading your injury write up and yet no head injury due to helmet use, I don't understand people who still advocate that they are not necessary.Hope you are healing up. have to agree. Will never go for a rde without one again.
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I got a 70% "payout" on my Giro after getting it hooked in a tree. I only paid 30% for the replacement, worth looking into it as mentioned already.Good luck, hope you are recovering.What happened??
Allrounder Posted March 2, 2016 Author Posted March 2, 2016 Some potential helpful info - if you've still got your original proof of purchase, Bell will give you 70% off of the value of a new helmet. Bargain. do I just takr helmet and receipt back to lbs?
Allrounder Posted March 2, 2016 Author Posted March 2, 2016 Came down helshoogte chasing guys ahead of me. Geared down for more speed and chain slipped. All that force had to go somewhere, lost control and went down. Head and shoulder was point of impact.

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Yip.They send it back to Omnico and Bob's your Auntie. Yeah, my LBS even gave me a helmet off the shelf the same day. Went in and paid when Omnico had sent them the replacement.
Wannabe Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Jip, only paid in R150.00 for my last Bell replacement.

Wannabe Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Does it matter how old the helmet is?  Dunno. Mine was only one year old. They replaced it no questions.Check on their website if there is any time limit.
