HowellingWulf Posted January 21, 2010 Share Hi Guys, I'm in the market for a new helmet and need some advice, help and smarty pants comments. I'm looking to spend around a 1000 bucks and have been looking at some models on CRC, is it wort getting one of these bad boys or would it be better to go local? If I go the CRC route, how do I size my head - is it just the circumference of your head or do you need to add some multiplication factor if you have a banana shaped head as opposed to an apple shaped head? Who stocks the Rudy Projects? Dont want to spend too much since I recently found out that it is a single use item... http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=47053http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=33061http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=45384http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=44597 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thug Posted January 21, 2010 Share Ricky, why not utilise the crash replacement policy on your old helmet and upgrade if need be. Should be substantially cheaper than buying a brand new helmet. The Thug2010-01-21 06:49:11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt if it'll work, I bought an el cheapo Specialized helmet from FPC 2 years ago for about R400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted January 21, 2010 Share Buy a helmet local as you are going to get hit on taxes when you bring it in. Your LBS should give you a good deal on 2009 stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
