Its a decent helmet. It sat on my head pretty high and that made the comfort not so good... I now have the tsg evolution and I like it a lot better. I would recomend the tsg over it as it really molds to your head... the giro is pretty good for the money tho! It vents alright aswell. Hope this helps.

The Giro Flak is a great helmet, it's comfy, has pretty good ventilation, and it's very durable, I've had it for about 2 years and it's still doing well

sorry taken a while to reply, havnt been on here in an age, i have to admit its have been fantastic in the 6 months ive had it, been ridden in all sorts of mud and sand and none has got it (im a bike mechanic so the bike gets stripped regularly)
easy to maintain if needed though, had to completely strip it to change it from qr to 12mm bolt through, which was nice and easy too

Yeah been using it for a while. Its pretty good to be honest, especially for the price. No complaints!!

Hey! yeh ive had one for about 3 months now, not had any problems with them really. The bearings in them are very smooth. the only downside is the freehub which is made of a a softer metal material than expected.I can see where the cassette has dug in slightly on the splines of the freehub. however, unless your changing the cassette once a week this shouldnt really be a problem. A friend of mine who also owns a nuke proof hub has also had problems with the lockring threads on the freehub, which stripped after about a years use. i wouldn't let this put you off though as it is a good hub really, and IF the freehub did go wrong in someway, there only £28 for a new one. There also pretty light to. hope this helps!

oh yeah, the maxxis is bigger by a long way. The volume looks huge as the tread is only on the top as opposed to the edges so it looks quite round. Dont let it put you off, they are great!

I've still got my SBE, would never get rid of it! It does wear immensly fast if you skid, but thats pretty much the same with all tires. Mine are 1.95 but they dont seem too small, still keep in line round most corners unless they are slippy or very fast, flat corners. Depends on what pressure you run them at, i go with 25-30ish psi for racing to prevent flats but i've not had many. Really fast aswell, incredibly quick acceleration and roll forever but they don't keep much traction under braking. Ive got my TT in 2.35 singly ply supertacky, and to be honest i prefer this to my highroller! I find highrollers are horribly unpredictable, but the TT feels controlled. It does skip around now and then on really dry dusty days but once you get a tad of moisture on them, they are awesome. I would get a thinner version if possible though, but not sure you can in supertacky.

i have riden them in pretty much every condition. they are a XC tire so they some wut a lot of grip and tread. they are soo light and stuff too. ive ridden them in dry, dusty conditions as well as rain and they work awesome. i will always stick with them.
