I was out last wednesday and dropped the bike, hitting the back of my head as I went down on loose gravel. Apart from gravel rash and the odd scrape, I have a bit of whiplash on the left side.........
BUT, in the tumble, I put a small crease in the back of my MET Ippogriffo helmet (and bent the rear mech)
Question. Should I replace my helmet ? There is no obvious damage to the foam padding, but there is a small gap (about 4mm max) between the shell and one area of the foam. I don't think it had a bad enough knock to justify the expense of replacement, but I am not an expert on helmet performance.
What do you think?
