I've recently returned to riding after a long break, and decided i've been dicing with death due to my switchblade being around 11 years old...
I've just seen [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=74003 ]this[/url], and can't fault it for discount... Anyone got anything good or bad to say, or an alternative for a similar price?
Just for the record, can this not turn into a CRC bashing thread? 🙂
I got a Giro - but I tried one on first (in Evans) and I'm glad I did. Even though it was a replacement I'd have got the wrong size.
Recently bought a new Giro Xar from the nice people at OnOne.
Nice big discount too.
got myself an urge earlier this year a bit pricey but worth it realy got fit and very light
What's wrong with an older helmet? 11 years doesn't seem much for a bit of plastic-covered polystyrene.
Well motorbike helmets are essentially the same I think, and the suggestion is to change those every 4 years...
I'd be happy to keep it, whats the consensus when it comes to age of a helmet?
I'm not sure how genuine this site is but it suggests only the really old 70s helmets actually suffered from ageing issues.

You're absolutely right looking for a new one! Check out the discounted Giros at On One (as above) - the Cratoni you've chosen from CRC I have no experience of, but it appears to be discontinued too, so a bit of a non-starter sadly.
Something like the [url= http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/HEGIIND12/giro_indicator_helmet_2012 ]Giro Indicator[/url] - £26 - would be worth a punt - and not apart from most likely safer than your old lid, should be comfier, lighter and better vented to boot.
