ScotchDave Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I have a Giro Switchblade, but the glue on the velcro patches has died, I want to glue them back on, I think araldite will do it but it might be bad for the polystyrene, I used evostik multi purpose stuff before (not a glues stick before anyone says) but it didn't work. :ermm: So anyone got any ideas?

quick_spider Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Double sided sticky tape :ermm: Make sure the surfaces are clean first. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Will it be strong enough? I just spent AGES getting all the old glue off. Don't worry they are very clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotchDave Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Yeh, cool thanks a lot. :blink: :P Stair gaps here I come. :)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted February 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Been thinking, and after using the doubles sided tape I don't think it'll be strong enough, because this is a full face helmet, it will only work properly if the straps are stuck down properly or else I'll just get a mouthfull of helmet and broken teeth.

Danny Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Im sure the double sided tape will hold stronger than the velcro (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbr-chris Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Yeah double sided will hold it but but to be fair if crash on a stair transfer with a switchblade you will have a face full of helmet anyway (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted February 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Yeh, but hopefully not a mouth full of broken teeth. (Y)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbr-chris Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 he he. Its a bit scary the size of some of the transfers i've done in my beanie. I wouldn't dream of doing a step-down that size with no helmet but it didn't even cross my mind at the time. Is it the peak or mouthguard thats loose? If its the mouthguard i'd invest in a new helmet mate. Its not worth bodgeing helmets, you only get 1 head. (my hippocritical statement of the day (Y)" ) You can get a 661 lid from about 60 or a tracer for about 90. loads of cheap mx helmets in that range too.

ScotchDave Posted February 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Nah, mouth guards totally fine, but I'm getting a fullface helmet, reckon I'll get a MX one. (Y) Also the size of stair drops etc I did last year with no helmet :(. 15 steps to flat on HT, big stepdowns etc. But now I'm gettin a fully. :D Ta for all the help boys. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
