tjommies3 Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 ALWAYS replace, R500 or R5000 is nothing compared to any part of your body, especially your head. Otherwise, use it and don't crash again. Scott roy 1

But seriously, replace even if it has been dropped. Helmet prices are cheap compared to cracked skull, concussion etc.
DJR Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 What justifies replacing a helmet? 1. Money burning a hole in your pocket 2. A better looking one on the bike-shop shelves 3. A new colour bike to match 4. New cycling kit to match 5. A lighter one 6. Sommer just 7. You haven't spent any money on cycling for a while 8. Your birthday 9. It smells and you don't want to shower with it 10. You had a proper crash, it is cracked and look like the dog chewed it I can go on and on, but 10 commandments are enough!

That's not a great crash replacement policy at only 20% off....but better than nothing I guess. Definitely a reason to favour the brands like Giro, Bell (if there was stock), Lazer etc that offer closer to 50% off.
VolkAdik Posted April 7, 2023 Posted April 7, 2023 20% off 😲 , I had a Scott Arx + helmet replaced in January this year, I got 50% towards the value of mine.
warick_wrx Posted April 8, 2023 Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) Did a crash replacment on a HJC helemt. Was given 40% off a new helmet. Edited April 8, 2023 by warick_wrx
