George and Carbon fibre

[Neil1300R]

As many of you know George29 can get a little opinionated, never more so than when it comes to carbon fibre. So, will be interesting to see how he justifies spending £800.00 on one of these.



Now a top of the range helmet from someone like Arai costs £4-500.00, including some fancy paint job. £800.00 just because its carbon fibre!

George - only having a bit of fun, saw the posts in Bike Banter, but look forward to your erudite and witty justifications!

Mine is in the Rossi elements paint scheme actually. No carbon visible

Its still made of carbon. No justification for carbon in a helmet

Really? What about lightness and impact strength? My full face mountain bike lid from my Yeti days is full carbon

Oi, this is a take the piss out of George thread, not why is carbon a good idea for helmet thread!

Anyway, most motorcycle helmets, including top end ones don't use carbon.

Arai are well known for 'testing' their non carbon fibre helmets at 220mph!

Its OK, he walks away from the crash before anyone complains

That's a really cool looking helmet but I'm not sure I could justify the £800 price tag.

You only get one head. No price is too much, even for Georgie's thick bonce

So where does the dick go?

It doesn't matter. People, including George ordered them last year - still not received them!

Its a gentle piss taking thread, best keep it to his hatred of carbon and why he's wasting money buying carbon!
don't want you two starting up about lycra

Having tried one on, there is as its much lighter. Don't know about strength but I'm sure it's not going to be any worse than fibreglass is it?

My mates carbon fibre Arai RX7 was £2500!

Is the all Carbon Fibre helmet that much stronger than the traditional Kevlar Carbon(or whatever they call it now)etc, that is used in most helmets nowadays?

As he's jumped ship I'm going to side with George on this.

CF seems a great material to make a strong light lid from.
Heavy helmets are only popular in certain circles.

I give up. If even you are agreeing with George there is no hope for the world!
