poopipe Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 i think you're supposed to replace those fancy XC lids if you crash - it probably says in the instructions, personally i wouldn't trust it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 you can only crush it once.... giro probably do a cheap replacement if you send it back. adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 If its still under warrenty, your local supplier should replace it for free. did with mine when i done the same as you anyways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 (edited) yo oggy, you can rpelace the lid or keep riding it, i rode a giro i crashed for a further couple of months, all that happens as you have noticed with helmets is the foam compresses therefore if you have a similar incident again it wont take the impact to its full potential. as it has already taken a clattering. BUT if you send it back to "Madison" the uk importer of Giro and put a note in and c/c details they will do you an animas at £35.00 OR if you wish to upgrade to a E"/Xen they will do a good price on those for you. the crash replacement scheme can only be done direct with the customer there is no point you taking it back to your LBS they cant do anything about it apart form look at it and say "well you made a good job of that, what did you crash out on?" hehe Waynio........................ Warranty on a helmet????? YES there is if i cracks and is a "defect" BUT the lad has stated he has crashed which is how most helmets end up broken.............therefore the crash replacement scheme comes in pretty good if you ask me, its better than a kick in the nuts!!!!
