Helmets

[pratheekkunder]

Get the Axo which I got, real nice and you get elbow pads too, for around 1k

yea..heard about it..

called him up, hes selling it for 1.2k and scoyco for 1.5k..

[nin]

Guys:i am going to buy knee pads today. Can anyone suggest me which one should i go for?

if your budget is below 1k fox/ktm are okay...

but i still would suggest and recommend AXO anyday,anyone,anywhere...

1.many use the Fox Raptor here but it doesnt have velcro straps...the hook straps may not hold on in the event of a fall...plus the pads slip down your knee if they are not secured tight...

2.Cramster also are good but the rivets provided not too strong...(a few touch downs at a corner at lavasa and the rivet of my left pad came off)..comfortable otherwise...

if at all you go for any external kneepads prefer the AXO or the Scoyco(not sure)...

the axo also have removable/washable inner padding...if at all the rivets come off(shouldn't! ask abhayshanu...they saved him at the last ride to kasara,igatpuri) they can be replaced by any other screw...

a xbhpian shouldnt pay more than Rs.1200(black) and Rs.1400(Red) for both elbow+knee at AH Helmets...

liar liar...you told me you got them for Rs.750 from AH...what did you have to do extra for the cheap deal ? come on...pratheek is a fellow xbhpian...so a brother...you could get that for him at the same price..

by the way guys...i just realised we are going OT here...its the HELMETS thread...discuss this on the riding gears thread...

^^ so rohit what are you planning to buy finally ?

instead of a dual visor like the boolean...you could also opt for a good helmet with a dark visor and wear good plain glares...

EDIT: sorry i forgot you have glasses..

I have not decided yet ... will check out from the wide range of lids he has got ... btw I am clueless about their correct prices so a bit cautious .... also planning to check out probiker helmet store on malad link road .... wanna tag along ?

EDIT : Did you mean glares ?? ... Dude I got spectacles and not interested in lenses ..... I want Dual Visor type only ... Any suggestions ?

Guys:i am going to buy knee pads today. Can anyone suggest me which one should i go for?

GO for Scoyco K11 eyes closed. They are the best VFM knee guard with
very good quality . You can refer the riding gear thread for details.

http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/universal-threads/4791-riding-gears-378.html

You will get K11 knee guard from bhavisya devgun 9910460777
he himself is a biker and a very honest guy ..
Those Fox and Axo thing in the market are not the original one .

Guys , I know this might be weird question on this thread but if you guys are going today over there, Can you guys just ask about Rossi Cap over there, is it available..?

nope sorry..kinda busy...oh yea and i forgot you already wear glasses!

i guess boolean and motocross type vega are the only dual visor helmets(the inner one isnt a visor actually) with the ISI mark..you could have a look at RJAYS too...

Can you guys just ask about Rossi Cap over there, is it available..?

did rossi forget his cap at AH HELMETS when he had been there ?? good job your doing rishi by returning it to him...mera 'HI' bolna usko !

[bluevolt]

the nail paint remover that i used didnt get off the fevi kwik either the fevi kwik i used was of good quality or the nail paint remover of bad quality !

If the nail polish remover does not have Acetone in it, then it will not dissolve Fevi quick. When buying, you must ask specifically for Acetone based ones. The bottle will have it mentioned on the back.

My New Lid !

Visited A H Helmet today, first met snehil then nikhil and finally abhayanshu ... nice to meet you all .... After investing more than 1 and half hour, I finally decided to abandon DUAL visor helmet and took this one with extra clear visor !

Hehe ... My bad ... btw abhayanshu sounds better

On a serious note, thanks for guiding me and forcing me to choose one, else I would have gone on 'n' on

The helmet looks and feels awesome ..... I could easily see the road even where street lights were dim or off !
