Hi everyone,

I went to the shop from where I bought this helmet but they said they don't repair helmets.

I don't think I can fix it myself (see pic) . Is this repairable or do I have to get a new one?

i think a small screw kinda thing is missing thr..had a similar problem..I got my Studds Ninja fixed from a road side helmet/number plate shop...

WoW!!! At least this chinese helmet has a website

so ,, ?

where did u get it from? it looks too good. would be glad if i can get one for my self..

i got it from a helemt store .. ABITS ,HYDERABAD

A dedicated helmet thread which is already spanned to 75 pages contains almost 750 posts and still we are buying such stuff.

Sam92: Dude what were you thinking while buying this?

well my budget was 2k .. i saw a GP for 1.7 [it was little old and heavy and didnt have good graphics]
so there was vega too .. but it was tight for me and touching my nose ,,
i saw this .. i loved it .. he said 4.5 k
i bargained it till 2 .. so finalized it a 2.2K ,, its very comfy ,, fully wasable and removable inners .. fully ventilated .. i feel that it will save me from a crash .. and it has awsome graphics [ atleast for me ]

Well, I took it to a shop (Sector 9, Noida). The mechanic there said it can't be fixed. He told me to go to Karol Bagh [in Delhi] - Chopra Helmets to get it repaired. According to him, its an authorized shop for STUDDS helmets.

Guess, I will be going there this weekend. Not feasible during weekdays as I commute daily from Gurgaon to Noida

Anyone from NCR heard of this shop?

Whoah....2.2K for this Chinese helmet...don't mind haan Sam but i feel its very expensive considering it to be a chinese make....and secondly you bargained it from 4.5K to 2.2K...!! So, out of this you can only make out that if that shopkeeper gave you 50%+ discount then its actual price would not be more that 1-1.5K..!! Also dont know whether its really DOT certified..!??

Well, this is what i feel...in the end you are to wear it..!!
Hope you understand what i mean rather than shouting on me...

Before heading to anywhere in Delhi, check the shops opposite IOC pump(Dolly Motors). The pump is located on the 12/22- DND road and close to Noida Stadium.

PM me for detailed directions.

Edit:- Sec-9 is not the market for helmets.

Hey Bangaloreans,
Any recommended shops around JC Rd/Lalbaugh/MTR which have ben tried and tested ? I might go there tomorrow and will pick up something simple and sturdy. Liked a Vega with graphics, I liked one the last time I went there, but he didnt have any fresh ones in stock.

Thanks,
Beo

Don't know much .. and can't vouch for anyone ..
but when I went to Lalbagh road to pick Vega Boolean .. I found out that Balaji Helmet Palace was more co-operative, flexible at price and had more options then Helmet Paradise just opposite to it. For example: M size vega boolean was a bit tight for me and Helmet Paradise guy said that company just makes M as a std size and I got L size in Balaji just opposite to them.

But I am not sure about the after sale service or such things about Balaji too .. so for prices and range at least check as many as possible shops.

I don't have any idea about that market. I was in D-block and guess its a place for bike servicing and all.
I got that guy's number from "Castrol Bike Zone" guy.

PMed you, hope that helps.

Nothing dude...I too had bought a chinese helmet for Rs.1.2k when I bought my first bike. I tried a lot to search for its website but there was none. Thats why

Update:
Picked up a sturdy looking Vega with graphics from Helmet Paradise (opp Urvashi theater, bangalore). He had good variety (GPR, AGV, crash etc) and the prices were exactly same as the shop opp it, Ryders point or something. Interesting thing was, he said that the inner fabric can be replaced completely for 180/- same material and fit, I would just need to take the helmet there...hmmm, dunno abt this but was good to know
He initially quoted 1385 but settled on 1050 and did NOT take my old one in exchange.
Also gave couple of skull caps, keychain and fixed the visor on my old one. I guess, I could've bargained a bit more say 50-100.
Fit is excellent, rode for 45mins-1hr on the way back and no headaches, very light on the head, lets see in a months time

So ppl going to these places, make sure you bargain for ATLEAST 25-30% less than their quoted prices (10% they give without even asking)

Picked a pair of very very basic gloves from the shop opp for 220 (other places might be a bit lower -I would just be using these once a month or even less)


HTH,
