Actually that music is sweet, really good band.

Wasn't talking about WC racers, was talking about PB users. And yes, precisely. It is designed to disperse those forces and that's exactly why they are more dangerous for mtb. Also it's never failed, it's being increasingly recognised by people who actually know what they're talking about, Nobble.

Scope...that announcer looked really uncomfortable for some reason, relax buddy! With cheesy music like that what else can you do. Looked fun though.

Moto lids are designed to provide protection through crumpling at specific forces (breaking so you don't, like bike lids), which youre not really able to generate on a push bike. All you are going to do is cause even greater concussion, brain rattle and possibly permanent damage as the helmet will remain completely rigid on mtb impacts. There is a plethora of evidence to back this up, Dirt magazine did a report on it a couple of years ago. Fact is, if you're not doing moto and you wear a moto lid you're not protecting yourself properly. Get a decent bike fullface and do yourself a favour. MX lids do not prevent concussions but in fact make head injuries and neck injuries (due to their weight) more likely and much worse.

I was only just getting used to him in a D3. Not a fan of these big moto-looking lids. Also this gear is only practice kit, race kit will be different.

Cheers man, I was!

Is this actually true about Shimano rotors? I've tried both avid and hope rotors in avid brakes and get no end of squeal!

Nickroy, please. Give it a rest. They were joking yes, the point is they were not funny. And I don't understand what you're saying.
