Hi,

I have worn away the front pad on my Boardman helmet. It attaches via velcro. You would think therefore that replacement parts could be had!?!

Can I find any on the tin-ter-web?

Nope!

Please can someone help?

:D

    That's why you buy Giro or some other brand, their pads are easily available.

    I suspect you'll only have any luck going to Halfords.

    Didn't think of such things when I was purchasing. I bought the only helmet that fitted my massive head properly, which was the Boardman.

    :shock:

    Hmm my Boardman is just starting to look 'worn' as well......maybe a Giro or similar will fit!

    I've had this problem with 2 Bell helmets. Anyone else think they deliberately restrict the availability of spare pads to encourage you to buy a new helmet?
