Asterix Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Westfielding2009 maybe back on the cards I need a new helmet, it has to be car-competition-ready. 12yo daughter needs a helmet. 6yo son needs a helmet. Where in the East Midlands can we go to try, deal and buy? I thought I've seen posts here about GPR @ Donington but, even if GPR remains solvent, can't find them now. Quote
dombanks Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Do yor kids need a race spec helmets ? if not will a decent bike helmet do the job just as well. Both me and the missus got Gold rated bike helmets from a local bike shop. they knew their stuff and fitted hers really well, as we had to order specifically a ultra small adult helmet for her, she fitted in a kids XL but it wasnt right and the guy in the shop said he'd rather sell an adult helmet as it would be better in the long run. when i got mine i was talking about wanting to do some motor sport and the same shop but the guys wife served me. she pointed out a bike helmet was not the right spec and showed me what she could get in that would be right if i wanted.

Cam Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Asters got to be worth a trip to Demon tweeks got lots of choice. Perhaps not the cheapest place but always good to look if you know what I mean Got a very small helmet my daughter used when she was very young if you want a look. Quote
