  6. may be the clutch dragging slightly, could be worth just bleeding through with fresh fluid ??
  7. But I'm willing to bet you wouldnt buy them as a replacement tyre I did, twice not on your last set of wheels
  8. everyone's entitled to their own opinion... Mine is that no way can I see the value in a £400-£500 helmet..they all meet exactly the same standards as a £50 item... and to be totally frank I think if your going to really safety conscious all helmets require replacement after 3 years as the interiors degrade, that's why when they get scrutineered at race meetings at most level , the date stamp inside is inspected and they have to be under 3 years old.. I would sooner buy a cheap quality helmet and replace it each year , but yes, a few years back there was some truly horrible polycarbonate helmets around , Thankfully at least in the UK these seem to have fell by the wayside , (mainly due to the very cheap production costs now available on the top spec items ) .. I would certainly be of the opinion that today's cheaper helmets are better spec and safer than the absolute top flight helmets of a few years back... IMO
  9. I wanted one like that all I got was this
  10. Hi Chum, welcome to the nuthouse Yep watch the rear end this time of year
  11. Oral Sex., is that when you just talk about it
  12. But I'm willing to bet you wouldnt buy them as a replacement tyre Myself I paid to have mine took off when I first bought the Zed they still had approx half the life left in them when I replaced, a couple of real tailend trying to catch the front convinced me.. never had the same quick breakaway with any of the other brands I've tried on since
  13. Same as most things in life ,you start paying for the badge that's stuck on the item , perceived value adds a lot of money... I remember a few years back Shoei did a special promotion on one of their helmets that had been retailing for £250 they slashed the price to the dealers to £50 as they werent selling, says it all really
