    Each to their own But I’ve had three nasty accidents which were all unpredictable and not remotely my fault In each case I am 100% convinced that my children still have a dad due to helmet I find the dead rarely post about how much they wish they'd worn one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Results of cycling accident

    I wear an “enduro” style helmet which gives a good balance of protections vs overheating Plus I’m bald so less of an issue ! Not this one but very very similar https://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/HECAEND/carnac-enduro-mtb-helmet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    High pitch noise from the charger

    I understand this to be quite common , especially when on 240v mains , it’s the transformer working (resonance ?) I am far from expert but I don’t believe it to be an issue ... Others will know more than me for sure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    After market bbsxx crank drive gear

    They look way more chunky looking on the bike than standard bafang(which I hadn’t expected ) and a much nicer finish (which I had expected though annoyed I accidentally ordered in.grey) I didn’t weigh them as such tiny things hold little interest for me in an ebike. I carry between 5 and...
