Pinkbike Poll: Why Don't We Wear Full-Face Helmets More Often?
@BrianColes: I feel you, same for me when I put some goggle on, when it's getting colder or if really wet. I always want to take them off but after a bit (maybe an hour), I'm getting kind of used to it! If not cold or wet, I just put my sunglasses and it's fine, just feel a bit the extra weight for some time but not feeling like I'm riding akward and making dumb mistakes like I do with the goggles. lol
I was always putting my ski goggles on my forehead until those big window goggles arrived! Woww!!! I only wear those now and it doesn't bother me while snowboarding or fatbiking. I don't think somebody is doing goggles like this for motocross/mtn biking, and would probably not fit with a fullface but that would change everything!

@PuppyTRex: Halo for me too, with shaved head. After a couple of hours it gives me headache (a bit tight) though so only wearing it when super hot.

ooookay?!
So you're saying that you wouldn't wear a full face because it wouldn't make you ride faster? I don't think that's the goal of a FF by the way.... 48 with a house, wife, 2 kids and a dog should be the reason why you would want to protect yourself.

Never thought about that... :S But I would never wear goggles all the time, too hot during summer + tunnel vision! I guess there's less chance of being hurt by your sunglasses with a FF than being hurt without a FF, goggles or sunglasses on or not. lol

Yeah same for me with goggles! Hate that tunnel vision but after 1 or 2 hours, I get used to it I guess. I only wear those when colder or if ever really wet so always weird when I put them on. Bottom of the helmet is not that bad or I guess it depends of which model you have. You can also feel the extra weight.

I was about to say something about that carbon bar but you finally talked about it in your last sentence! lol It never happened to me but it did to my friend and read a couple of stories like yours.....and seriously I just want to go back to an aluminium bar! But in 31.8mm. :P I would have done it before but am now on front and rear coil so my alu bike is pretty damn heavy now....will probably still do it lol

Opinion: Why Weight Doesn't Matter
I run a coil fork and shock on my aluminium Banshee Titan! :) First for me and won't go back to air, no more hand/arm problems anymore!

First Look: Hope's New Pro 5 Hubs
@Will-narayan: Here in eastern Canada is it really popular but sadly, Ontario and Quebec is not enough for big brands that want to sell worldwide... :(
Every winter it is the same, I never want it to end, I would like to ride 1 or 2 more months in the snow instead of riding my real bike lol We don't have a lot of snow so if I have to chose between riding a bike in snowy trails or riding my snowboard on ice, the choice is easy! lol

Inside Pivot's Secret Carbon Fiber R&D Facility
@preston67: I've just looked for 10minutes and couldn't find it... I'll try again another time but I saw the enduro mtb review and wow, they liked it a lot, the best bike ever it seems! haha
Sadly, those ones are way too expensive in Canada with the us/cad exchange rate, taxes and everything but can't wait to have more news on their cheaper version!
