    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Helmet pivot

Being a klutz yesterday, I dropped my helmet on the ground while unclipping it from the bike helmet lock. Of course, it landed right on the pivot and popped the shield. I didn't realize until we got home that I lost the spring inside the pivot. I've looked online for replacement pivots and can't find any that match the shape. I'm wondering if someone can suggest an alternative pivot that will allow me to open and close the visor without the visor popping off.

Thanks!
 
Have you checked with the helmet manufacturer? :-k

Sorry it's so obvious, but they are the ones most-likely to have it.

Hi,

Many riders replace their helmet every two years anyway. I use mine a little longer since I can remove and wash the internal padding.

Check with newenough.com for their closeout sales if you're on a tight budget. I picked up a decent spare HJC helmet (new) for $40 shipped a while back.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
I'm thinking that's what I'll have to do. At least the helmet is usable for the time being as long as I keep the visor closed or fully open.
