New lid after a crash

[Accuhaler]

What are peoples opinions on this?

I lost the bike wheel whilst riding in the wet this weekend, came of the bike has it chucked me to the road, helmet only touch the road as I came to my rolling stop, and has a few marks on it.

Some work collegues of mine, who are more expeirenced bikes say they would change the helmet.

Damage to my helmet

[NJD]

Replace.

My reason: piece of mind and the fact that helmets are a one time use.

Discovered today that my AGV came with a one year warranty.. of which I gladly made use of in getting a part replaced.. I assume if the same thing happens to you again with a helmet under warranty it may be able to get sent to the manufacture and either replaced or repaired.

Always something to ask about if you replace and buy a new one.

Replace it. Even if you crash, and hit your head and the lid looks fine, I'd consider replacing it. That one has visible damage... replace.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Obviously I don't know how hard you hit your head but personally looking at the tiny graze and knowing how easily those matt type lids scuff I'd probably just keep it but that's just me.

Looks like a light scuff to me too, but only the OP knows how hard the impact was.

Looks OK to me. In fact my current lid has more visible damage than that and I picked that damage up from scuffing the top of my garage door as I passed under it.

Wasn't sure what the warranty covered took it as it would of been worth a go, my bad OP.

note to self: keep shiny helmet shiny.

Damage looks light I would continue wearing it with out a care in the world.

Depends on how hard it hit. If it literally just gracefully touched it would be acceptable IMO.

Anything harder as though you've dropped it from 10cm onto the bonce I'd replace it

Just keep it and don't crash.

Impact in video looks a lot harder than you would assume from the scuff. Probably replace, though I would be buying a better bike and better gear first. Take the padding out, inspect inside. If the foam is painted, missing paint is a sign of damage.

No point having a great lid, if your on a shitty 125 with bias tyres and crash every 5 mins.

Ebay is great for lids. People buy without checking sizes. If its not scuffed,perfect condition, then its going to be a lot better than mine after 15k miles. Shark S600-S900's go for around 40, they are my preference.


Old lid, wore for a good month after... https://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m593/Kramdra/GEDC05502.jpg

The video does look like it took a dunt. I'd go for another lid. Cosmetic damage doesn't bother me but it looks like it took a whack.

hope the rest of you isn't too sore

Fractured at the joint, that is going to suck for a few months. I broke my Fibula a few weeks ago, not allowed to ride bike for another 3 weeks. I know I can, and walking is easy - but not allowed. It takes a long time to heal fully.
