MTB helmet

Hey everybody,Boulder here

right now i have a shabby old helmet that is falling apart, the reason why is because its a three yr old helmet from BIGW.

i have looking for a good MTB helmet for a while now ( that is not a fullface helmet) and i am not sure which brand is the best for just doing weekly cross country stuff like manly dam. my price range is around $80-$100 so if any of you could please give me a bit of advice, that would great.

Thanks everyone

Shipping

Hi Guys,

Happy new year to everyone!!!

Quick question. On my way to Canada in 3 weeks and looking to buy a new bike. Any suggestions on the cheapest way to ship it back to Oz?

Going to Whistler via Air Canada from SFO then back to Oz with Qantas. It would be great if I can avoid carrying the box with me with holidaying so wouldn't mind shipping it back home.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Eggbeaters wanted

Does anyone have any used egg beaters or similar light weight pedals kicking around?
I'm thinking of trying some out at the Sydney 24.

GPS Garmin? Best from OZ riding please

Hi ,
We have moved here from the UK and although the trails are great the maps are not. We have noticed that many of NOBMOB use a GPS to know what and where. Are there any models that are reccomened for trails please? Which are the best for setting up route maps from the web? Issues like software, cost battery life and weight all spring to mind.

Any suggestions welcome.
