Always best to try a helmet before hand...I bought one online and it didnt fit properly, gave me a headache after about 10mins of riding.

I bought my helmet off the internet. £35 delivered, back in June.

Overall it's pretty good. Pinlock, quick release visor, chin curtain, breath deflector, air vents at mouth and on top of head... the list goes on.

But the most important thing is that I'm lucky as hell, in that it fits perfectly.

Cheers,
Steve.

I bought ten blue LEDs yesterday. I have set up a mailing list and an RSS feed for anyone interested to know when they arrive.

Have you ever tried a helmet before?

As you may think it fits, but in actual fact it doesn't.

The last thing I bought off the internet was a plug in timer.

But then thats still 1-2cm out.. you want one to be the exact measurement of your head, and then theres your head shape and the shape of the helmet Razz

By the way you talk, and the nature of your thread, I wouldn't of thought your head is bigger than 30cm.

I *think* he means you have a tiny head, and by extension a tiny brain.

I could be wrong though.

I'm just not really sure what the point in this thread is, from what it seems you've come on the forum to boast about your bargain bucket helmet which isn't guaranteed to fit anyway.

I think techinically you are a teenager, I'd say childhood for most ends between 11-14.
