I've got a smelly helmet.

My helmet smells foul. I've tried giving it a blast with a hosepipe, and rinsing it in the local lake (which is also the drinking water supply), but it still smells quite bad. Especially when I start sweating.
Any ideas?

Have a walk in the rain with it.

I wash mine most mornings, keeps the smell under control. It does depend on how often you use it and where you go with it though of course.

The police told me next time I do that they will definitely prosecute

Can you remove or replace. I stick mine in the wash every now and then.

When mine starts to smell really bad, I just take it off and buy another. You can try different shapes and sizes. My current helmet looks a little like a zebra, my wife quite likes it too. The last one was a black one, but it didn't quite fit properly.

I had a closer look at the soft bits of it. It seem that the brown dirt has mixed with sweat to form a browny paste.

Viagra will help with the soft bits.

Wire wool will sort that right out!

Get the wire brush attachment for a Dremel, for faster results

Good idea, that way you could polish your helmet afterwards too.

Stop wanking into it

I do that into your bike helmet though. Not mine. What do you think I am, a pervert?
