Yeah the 2016 Alltrack and free delivery
Ta for measuring mate, slightly wider than my Spesh lid, and 10mm less than the Bontrager, so prolly worth a punt fpr 70 quid

Ignore my question about the fly mesh .. been looking at it on CRC for £107.99 .. then found it elsewhere for almost 40 squid less at £70.99

Cheers bud, yeah it does look well nice to be honest, do they have a fly mesh ?
One of these would've been a birthday prezzie I think, if I hadn't already got the Mrs and kids to buy me a Pro4 rear hub for the Trek
D'ya reckon you might be able to do a measurement of your lid for me ? .. if you look at my pic of the two helmets, could you measure the width at the widest point when viewed from the front like my pic ? (if that makes any sense ?)
Cheers

Soz, but didn't want to hijack Dirkpitt's lid thread ..
.. but as I said over there, I need a new lid that's small in stature
Here's a pic of the Bontrager next to my ols Specialized lid, and lookin at the pic it don't look that much bigger .. but on me yud its feckin maaaahoooosive
Looking at the Cratoni AllTrack mentioned on the other thread ... lovely lookin lid that .. are they small to look at ?

I think know the troy Lee a1 is pretty much head shaped as in it fits snug so doesn't have that perched on top feel. The profile is also fairly rounded so the shape or size is not overly exaggerated. Whilst of course most importantly offering good protection and coverage of the lower part of your noggin. cheers Kirky, I'll take a look

I've had a size issue for a while now .. my old Specialized lid is pretty small physically (not on about sizing as such) so doesn't look too bad on my little noggin, but its getting old now!
I made an impulse purchase at the CYB shop last year of a Bontrager MTB specific lid, lovely helmet, but I wont ware it now cus it just looks daft on me head ... like a feckin knob pin!!
If anyone watchin this thread can suggest a "physically looking" small MTB lid, it'd be appreciated

Cheers guys
Feels really plush with its slack HA and long travel after me other bikes, tho I end up riding my old faithful bomb proof Trek more as the Mega is more suited to a good spanking rather than a potter about or local trails etc

Only changed a couple of things cus .. well .. it was ace outa the box innit
X01 cranks 203mm ft rotor Nukeproof sintered pads Renthal lock on's swapped the rear tyre from Hans Damf to a Dirty Dan (beast of a tyre!) and since the last outing a while ago when I almost couldn't get un-clipped and nearly died to death .. I've put the flats back on for a bit

Didn't think you could powder coat magnesium, can you? No idea .. tis weird stuff, got mag casings on the KTM, and decided to polish them up a bit (not blingy, just a light polish) .. looked lovely for a few weeks, then went dull as fook and looked shite
I need to change the colour of the Evo link on my Trek, it looks w@nk and always has, kinda spoils the whole bike in my view, spose I could spray it, but didn't think it would stand upto the stone chips etc like powder coat ..

Post by ktmfiveforty on Sept 15, 2016 20:02:03 GMT
Anyone ever done the above ?
Does it blast ok ?
Does the powder coat take like it does to ally ?

Cheers man ... I've only had it for a couple of months but it's given me a new lease of life ..love it! First new bike for 10 years and really highlights how much progress has been made in that time . Yeah know what ya mean .. the first time out on my Mega after it landed with quality suspension, 1x11, and an AM frame stiffer than a stiff thing bolted to the stiffest thing in Stiffsville .. blew me away
That Whyte is damn lovely lookin
