  • Re: helmet problem

    I had experienced severe pain near my ears and head when I started wearing helmets.I had to stop riding and take off the helmet every 30 min or so to relax.
    I had selected tight fit helmet according to guidance videos on the youtube.Was kicking myself.But the sponge got loose after a while and after my first wash the headache and ear pain totally stopped. Dont feel a thing now.i suggest you bear it for a while and wash the sponge if necessary.

          Main reason for this is the incorrect head shape ,seems like you have bought a MT axxis which a very long Oval head shape, which 95% of the people in India wont have.
          Thats why i bought the Kranos which can fit most of the head shapes even though i could afford the Axxis, which you have to go atleast 2 sizes up to get a comfort fit.

          For more info on head shapes see this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUX_wQnW3Ec

                    Hi guys,

                    I've had the AGV K5 for a year now. And I really need to clean the lining - it's beginning to develop an unbearable stench. I had no idea that the lining had to be cleaned as frequently as every month. Now I have no idea what to use to clean the liner. I do not want to compromise on its basic function - sweat wicking, nor do I want to compromise the feel of the material.

                    What do you guys use to clean the liners on your helmets?
                    Don't matter what it is: Touring; Racing; Commuting. All I know is, I belong on the saddle.

                      Soak in warm water mixed with Johnsons baby shampoo for half hour or more. Mildly brush out any stains using a toothbrush. Then rinse in warm clean water. Squeeze dry gently. Allow to dry naturally.

                        Anyone using this exact same design from Ls2?

                        I just want to see few pics and review about the fitting.
                        I'm currently using LS2 Phobia from 2 years and it's been awesome!

                        Also, where in Delhi I can get genuine LS2 helmet?
                        Any shop name or contact info?

                          there is a LS2 dealer in karol bagh bike market Naiwala.
                          its near Chopra's shop.
                          Sorry can't pinpoint the location.

                          Cheers.

                            I'm looking to buy a chin curtain for my MT Limited Evo as it fell off somewhere on the road on the very first time I used the lid. Had mailed Spartanprogear.com about the issue and they agreed to provide me a new chin curtain, But they never did. Can I get the chin curtain alone on the market (assuming it is a helmet consumable) and how much will it cost me?
