Would this be a good helmet for downhill? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008Z9HV28?vs=1
What is this weak sauce stuff.
This is what you get.

On top of the chain mail.
Come to Minneapolis!
And yep, it's a Bell Drop. I've known enough folks who spent months drinking their meals (and I've had enough expensive dental work done) to wanna play it extra safe.
Edit: Fucked up faces suck, but I'm glad at least that you're alive. Hope you heal up quick and the other guy suffers some consequences.

Try to find a transfer-9 under a hundred dollars. This page often has various medium, large, and extra-large transfers for under a hundred, you have to click around in the color options.
That transfer 9 has like, 4 certifications, including the new downhill. I got one for less than $100. If you compare that to the sanction, the sanction's only got one certification and it's what you would expect, a cheap bike helmet full face but not even with a kid's skate-park certification.

Scroll down to the chart and look at the certifications. If you can get a $96 helmet at the first link, it's literally like four times the helmet of your sanction.
Good luck!
I was thinking about getting one of these. I saw it mentioned somewhere as a cheap way into the realm of full faces. And I have some experience doing some good old fashioned shop vac vacuum forming, so I could probably make face shields for it.
And it would be dual purpose for me since I also do downhill mountain biking on occasion.
You talking, something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Demon-Podium-Helmet-Viper-Goggles/dp/B01IWEA1PO/
Never seen anyone riding around town with one of them, but honestly if it was comfortable enough, I like the idea of it and the shade factor, no goggles just sunglasses though!
Also, I wonder how peripheral vision is with one of these?
Just look at how many speeds you have. If you have 6, 7 or 8, then you can buy a chain accordingly. If you have a 1-speed than its probably a 1/2 X 1/8.
I use Dakine. The G-Forms looked a bit flimsy to me and these are excellent so far. Similar impact foam as G-forms
i was looking at this. if i get this should i just buy a visor from someone else? do all visors fit all helmets?

It is called the giro savant it is very bright and has reflective strips on it. In my use I have found it very breathable, comfortable and light and think for the £40 I think it is good value if you cycle a lot. If you want to spend a bit less you can get a giro indicator and stick some reflective stickers on it.
These - honestly tried to do this on the cheap and easy so Amazon Prime BMX bars were a quick fix.

Keep in mind you’ll need a shim if you’re using a 25.4 stem, which is standard. BMX bars aren’t thicker in the middle like road bars are.
Does anyone know if a helmet like this is good? Weighs just about as much as a TSG Pass and says it's for biking.
Like half the capacity of that one should be plenty for casual riding. You could go bigger and have longer between charges but the drawback is it costs more and adds weight to the bike (which will make it handle worse, be harder to carry around etc)
It looks like it does have hole drilled in the fork crown so you can run a BMX caliper brake like this https://www.amazon.com/1999-BMX-Brake-Set-Lever/dp/B073RXSLFT
U-brake is a different kind of brake this doesn't have mounts for.
But from experience those kind of brakes are hard to setup and have the least power of all the different kinds of rim brakes. It could work out though
Krash Bling Helmet lmao
I use these knee pads, and they work pretty well. There is an elbow pad version as well, but haven't used them.
If you want some hip protection, there are impact liners available. The one for womens is pretty low rated, so you might get away with the men's version.
I was able to grab the Black Carbon in a medium for $50
[Here is a fiberglass one]

I love the bell helmets (I think I got this one). I almost went with triple 8 before but noticed that not all of their helmets are certified to actually do anything on impact. Some of them are of course, but I just went with the bigger brand name for safety.
wow, I just saw amazon lets you select square taper as a filter! Awesome. This makes it alot easier.
Is the SRAM s600 alright weight/durability wise? Seems like it might be a good option. Also Origin 8 and Sinz seem viable. Any opinions on these??
