As I'm sitting here sore & aching from last nights ungraceful dismount, I got thinking its been a while since my last crash.

I'm not sure how I managed it but I succeeded in going over the bars and head butting the floor when hopping up a kerbconfused Resulting in cracked helmet, grazed and bruised shoulder, wrists & shins.

So when was your last crash?

As i now need a new one does anyone have a recommendation for a replacement helmet.

Thanks for the suggestions, I followed the advise of trying a few on & ended up picking up this:




which was on offer for £20 (bargintastic) as it was the 2014 model.

First suggestion, assuming you haven't already binned the old one, is to find out if whomever made that one does a crash replacement service. A number of the helmet manufacturers will do you a half price replacement or something similar if you've had a crash.
I didn't know this but I had already chucked it.
