Oh yeah, the new fuckery is going to be E-bikes that you can easily take the battery and motor off of that weigh the same as every other bike with those parts removed. This is definitely coming soon.
pretty cold here.....
I think that has already happened in "the industry". It's depressing. It's all I hear about. EBIKES EBIKES WOOHOO EBIKES THE INDUSTRY IS SAVED FROM ITSELF IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!!!! Becsause nobody is buying our other crap
OT: I can recommend the Leatt DBX 3.0. My most comfortable helmet so far and I hope those rubbery rings will do their job when needed.
I won’t have time today but I’ll try to get some pics tomorrow. Let me know if there are specific details that are important to you.
fucking skynet bullshit man
rat boy signature kit?
FTFY
i'm gonna say NO considering her past conviction
got a link on this? they were the first company in to bring MIPS to mtb helmets.
oh, I'm sure she's clean now. No way would she ever use again.
never really been a fan of MIPS, not sure why. Paying extra for something that achieves the same thing as a loose helmet? Somewhat unproven technology? Big plastic bowl between your head and helmet? I dunno.

oh i don't doubt it either, but generally after that kind of conviction you learn to keep a low profile.oh, I'm sure she's clean now. No way would she ever use again.
huh, must've missed that completely.
Not off topic at all. Thanks! It's one of the two I'm considering. I was very happy with my Kali interceptor, but I find only two available sizes kind of disappointing. I think I would fit the medium Leatt very well .
missed this part, i have the Smith Forefront MIPS and i find it to be very comfy. Perhaps a touch warm on hotter days, but apparently the new version has better venting.
My Leatt is size M. I am usually between M and L on the M side, my other helmets (Bell Super 2, Smith, Giro Feature) were also M. The only exception I made was an L Kali (that added to a shopping cart because it was only ~$15) and that helmet is too big for me.
Thanks! I'm right on the border of M or L with most helmets, which makes sense given that I just measured my head at 58.5 cm, and the M range for Giro, Bell, Specialized and Leatt is 55-59 cm. I've had three Giro Hexes in M. The L was always large and floppy, and depending on the manufacturer, a size M could be just right or too tight (e.g. the Specialized Ambush was too narrow in medium).
Thanks! I went in to a shop and was able to fondle a POC spin-equipped helmet. Their pads are all in the front half of the helmet. Given that I hit my head from the top/behind, I don't feel like it would have done much to help me. I also like Kali's approach to multiple densities of foam, and I think Leatt has this as well. I could see the little pyramids of different density and coloured foam in my cracked helmet. I can't help but think that contributed to saving my neck. Leatt also claim their discs absorb a portion of the impact. IMO, anything that helps with energy absorption is a bonus.
My Patrol frame had tits and the first one was warrantied as the bend was too tight and messed up to get seatpost housing to route. Second was barely better enough to get the housing to push through with much black magic and making hooks and tools with shop. I heard they had a ton of issues similar and probably decided the tits wasn't the tits after all from a support standpoint.
size xs, and a reverb perhaps? I agree, inserting the reverb hose was a royal pain in the ass, tits or not.
, but with a cable actuated post, it was awesome.
XL with a 9point8 Fall Line. I would have murdered somebody if trying to fit a reverb hydro hose through that.size xs, and a reverb perhaps? I agree, inserting the reverb hose was a royal pain in the ass, tits or not.
How 'bout e-bikes in drag?
this is interesting. Mips is interesting, but I love Brad (kali) and his commitment to protecting what's left of my brain. I have personally crash test dummied the conehead tech and it works. And I have the latest Leatt coming in a bit
I have the 4.0 on the way. light and breezy
missy. low profile..........learn......bwahahahahahahaha. love her
