New Apparel & Accessories from Oakley, Leatt, Lazer & More - Eurobike 2023

 @Aem221: Alternatively, instead of constantly having to tilt your head down you could just have an adjustable visor. You know, the entire point of having said adjustability?

 Everyone uses tinted goggles though. I feel like a visor on a full face is kind of redundant. It just looks cool.

 @nickfranko: I dont ever remember a time ive really had sun in my eyes while looking downhill on a trail, if I did i sure wouldnt be stopping to adjust my visor.

 @HardtailHerold: I never use tinted goggles, and like to be able to raise the visor to have the goggles on the helmet off my face, and ability to lower it slightly when the sun's beaming me in the eyes.

 @Aem221: I take it you have never ridden Dirt Merchant in the evening.

 Yeah, I have a Giro Insurgent FF, it is super comfortable, but the visor, OMG, it is "adjustable" in such a way that in the lower setting it does not block sun (I cannot see the visor) and in the high setting it still does not hold goggles well. I cannot imagine a more useless implementation of a visor ...

 @Aem221: We could also just undo the bolt to adjust our saddle height...

 @Aem221: I guess I'm a "Joey" because I lower mine when climbing to keep the sun out of my eyes and push my visor up when going down hill to see farther up the trail all the time.

 Is the "show comment" function broken for anybody else on the Below Threshold comments? Or just me?

 @barp: Thanks for commenting on this, I tried earlier on another thread earlier, same thing happened. I just thought it was me! Hands up anyone else? maybe it's Levy working his black magic?!

 @noapathy: This is the content we are all looking for.

Well done.

 @Aem221: I like my bikes very long, in turn my body position is very stretched out meaning my upper body is mor horizontal than vertical.
With said 2018 fox helmets I could not ride without looking at the underside of the visor on downhills rather than at the trail ahead since my neck has limitations when it comes to bending.
Every riders position on bike is different, depending on bike body type so a little adjustability can take care of that with no disadvantage other than making it harder for the designers to achieve the contemporary integrated look we got used too today.

But you probably prefer cars with seats that are not adjustable too hoping the manufacturer got just right for you…

 Air tags basically tell the thief it's there anyway. They seem great for if you lose something but not really if something is stolen.

 @warmerdamj: Has anyone ever actually recovered a stolen bike due to an Airtag? I recently discovered an Airtag hidden in my car. The Airtag notified my phone it was there and then I triggered the Airtag to make a beeping sound so I could easily find it. Any bike thief can do the same.

Even if the thief doesn't find the Airtag, what are you going to do? Go find the thief and confront them? Where I live the police aren't going to do shit if you tell them about it.

 @WalrusRider: exactly, it tells you it's there so people can't use them to stalk other people and to assist in locating things that are lost. Not sure why there are so many efforts by companies to create ways to put them on bikes as anti theft as that's just not what they are for.

 @WalrusRider: I removed the speaker on mine via Youtube video. On my ebike, it is hidden inside the frame and you need a T10 torx to access it. Hopefully, it notifies the thief and they drop the bike because it is unlikely they carry a T10 to take it out. It may help recover if you notice the bike missing immediately.

 @WalrusRider: radio told me some days ago a serial bike thief was caught thanks to an air tag. Probably not the most professional guy.

 @WalrusRider: Yes, stolen bikes have been recovered with Airtags. It's not a guaranteed solution, but it can work if you move quickly (before the thief can detect/find/remove it). From what I've heard the hard part is getting the police involved, if you're going that route; and confronting someone on your own brings its own risks. etc.

 @warmerdamj: You can disable the internal beeper on the AirTag. Also, it only works to notify iPhones.

 @koyota93: that’s actually a neat tactic

 @koyota93: and Apple doesn’t « inactivate » your AirTag as it senses that the speaker is disconnected?

 @Obiwankenoob: I physically pried open the airtag with a razor blade and removed the physical speaker. Works great and the signal still transmits through my aluminum frame.

 @WalrusRider: You answered your own question. In some areas the police won't bother so its either nut up or shut up.

 Maybe just having it is a deterrent to a would-be thief?

 I put mine in the frame storage. These "holders" are ridiculous. Just another excuse to spend $$ on anodized shit that, in this case, literally spells out "Look right, remove this, and you will have an easier time stealing my bike." WTF bike industry [and consumers]??!!

 thought the same!!! hahaha

 Swap the bolts for a tig welder and it's what orange have been doing for years

 I would agree that a lot of new Oakley offerings are pretty poor in the last year or two but that font has been used as long as I can remember hasn't it?

 And the two engineers in the thread get a good laugh.
