I'm thinking you'll be able to adapt these for non peaked helmets.

Has anyone tried using a juniour cricket cage? i have been offered one for cheap, and whilst i assume the helmets are really small, does that me the cage bits are too? or can they be stretched?

I have attached a youth cage to a small Giro (this exact same one as donated by Gabes after the UK's in Manchester). http://www.lfgss.com/thread47852.html

Took a bit of strectching and bending to get it attached but works ok. Might be a bit too much to bend and stretch on anything bigger than a small helmet though.

cheers

Fixcraft visor for Bern Watts arrived today. Not too bad to fit once you get your head around the instructions. Visibility is pretty good, though I haven't tried knocking a ball around yet due to these thunder storms! Helmet feels substantially heavier, but what did I expect?!

i busted my bauer helmet, i need a new adjustment bolt/strap clip

have any of yous helmet modders got one going spare?

I'm going to look for these combo masks here in Eindhoven, they look the best for protection and to not lose vision

That clear plastic seems to steam up alot. Voidcore here in MCR had one, one of the expensive ones too, and it was shit

I thought about that one, but..they use it in icehockey?

They dont breath as much in ice hockeyy

it depended on the weather, but yeh i wouldn't recommend them, also i think most ice hockey players they don't really use them either

I've got one, will bring to Sheffield.

fuck yeah josh

for those playing clippless what are good spd shoes with high ankle protection?

I just bought a pair of Shimano AM31s, £80rrp, high ankle (about as high as you're going to get anyway) and a fairly tough toe-box for when your foot gets caught in some asshole's spokes. No fragile ratchet either.

I cut the ankle padding from a pair of football shin pads. They're elasticated and have a stirrup so stay in place and proper padding over the ankle bone. Perfect.

Am about to go clippless, I need all the help I can get hauling my hub gear around the court. Apologies in advance for falling on you.

i also use football shinpad ankle protectors. work great!

Cheap cricket helmet with face cage

william jnr made me a helmet! Nice.

Any tips for removing bars on a Bauer face cage I instantly blunted a mini hacksaw and barely made a groove. I heard an angle grinder will get through eventually but would have to be a small blade.

I'm just removing the top 2 horizontal bars

Get a better hacksaw.

And a file

Wire cutter worked for mine, and then used a file on the edges. That said, not too sure of the material the Bauer cage is made from. Stainless steel?

I used an angle grinder on my bauer cage. It's tough steel. Best to grip it in a vice as well.

I used a mini hacksaw on my bauer it was fine
