i just bought my new zeus helmet. i read the manual. me nakalagay na DO NOT PUT STICKER ON YOU HELMET.


ERRR...... BAKEEET?

Well some helmet manufacturer says that every sticker must have adhesive of some type to hold it on, and adhesives have solvents in them that aid the sticking process. If the solvents are incompatible with the helmet shell they can possibly attack the plastic, weakening it. The plastic will "craze" with zillions of tiny cracks running in all directions. The damage may not be highly visible, particularly since it is covered by the sticker. And the weaker plastic may or may not ever make a difference in a crash, depending on where you hit.

And another debate would be the sliding resistance of the helmet itself. Of course you want your helmet to slide easily when you hit the pavement and helmet manufacturers says that if you put stickers on your lid with a rough sticker on it probably slides less well.

Again this is what the lid manufacturers says regarding putting stickers on your lid.. but if you'd ask me.. stickers can add up visibility specially if the sticks are the reflectorized ones.

i just want to add just a tiny one. so SIR, what's ur advice? to do or not to do?

pwede naman siguro bro, kahit maliit na sticker lang, I had an Arai sticker on my HJC helmet, looks cool and napagkakamalan nga na orig Arai eh. :O

I keep my helmet plain. No stickers, just the original one that goes with it. But for those who are into stickers, just dont overdo it. Maybe one or two small ones would look nice. I stick to sticking on the bike itself.

Lagyan mo nyo ng madame!! Ang hellmet ay pangsalo lang ng utak para hindi kumalat sa kalsada... :g :bouncy:

lagyan mo yung sa iyo para pag may sumapak sa iyo may sasalo ng utak mo! :I

AFAIK lahat ng helmet hindi advisable na lagyan ng sticker na malaki. Siguro pwede pa yung maliit lang. Pero much better if we will follow the advised or warning nung nalakalagay sa owners manual or sa mismong helmet na nabili natin.

Correction lang! Ang helmet ay protection sa head natin. Hindi para pang salo sa utak kapag na accident. Medyo nakakainis kasi ang post mo kaibigan.

sapak lang labas agad utak! pede kulangoT :O BIro lang yon Olan! & Power! kayo naman>> o sige Sorry!! :)

mas maganda pagkalagay mo ng sticker, add some top coat para di masira sticker mo or mag-fade agad.

YEAH YEAH YEAH, BLAH BLAH BLAH....................... BOTTOMLINE IS.........................EPAL KA PA DIN!!!! :O :I

ei vagabond... musta na? long time no hear ah! hehehe.... :D

ERRR?..... i just asked some question here tapos me nag away. :eek:


anyways, mejo dismayado ko dun sa kalat utak sana di mangyari sa yo bro. pero nag apologize ka naman eh, so dapat tinanggap din ng maayos. we're all riders here so PEACE and be KEWL ok?

Hoy, wala ba kayong magawa? Makulit lang talaga yang si enrico raymundo. Young yan e. Young once!

nawala na naman tayo sa topic,,san na ba tayo,,,ahh sa sticker pala,,mahilig kasi akong maglagay ng sticker,,wala na yatang pag lagyan ng sticker yong helmet ko,,kala ko kasi mas matibay pag may sticker kasi di bibigay pag-nabasag kasi hinahawakan ng sticker,,,sige na nga tanggalin ko na lang!

My KBC Roadway TK7 helmet manual says never put a large sticker or decal onto it. I only placed a bright 4" x 3" number "8" at the back. That's it.

It says large, maybe not as large as almost half of the helmet. :D

i just bought my new zeus helmet. i read the manual. me nakalagay na DO NOT PUT STICKER ON YOU HELMET.


ERRR...... BAKEEET?

I agree to pongski(wrong spelling ata)...cncia

medyo makakasira kc ng coating(ng helmet) ang mga sticker katagalan

MMDA(ung mga nkmotor) have stickers on their helmets(ung number)kc kailangan at may purpose ang pglalagay

kung pamporma much better kung reflektorized nga ang gmitin(not just fashion safety rin)...

salamat at mg ingat tayo s kalsada

imho, kaya ayaw palagyan ng manufacturer ng stiker ang mga helmet nila eh, baka kasi masapawan o matakpan ang kanilang pangalan.

hmmmnn.... eto palang si enrico_raymundo e respected teacher:?

sapak lang labas agad utak! pede kulangoT :O BIro lang yon Olan! & Power! kayo naman>> o sige Sorry!! :)
Nagalit tuloy kayo talaga sir ER! Sama ba kayo sa mahayhay?sayang di kayo napunta sa Jamboree. Ako pumunta naranasan ko ring ikulong ng malalaking scooter makapasok lang sa NLEX :banana: :banana:

Sumama kasi kayo sa mga rides para makilala nyo si sir ER, at si Sir Alitaptap, ganon lang talaga yan sa furom, pero pag nakasama nyo yan, napaka professional ng mga yan! saka masayang kasama, daming kwento, dami ka ding malalaman.
Peace sa lahat!!! :cheers:

Cool lang mga dudes!

kase pag nahulog o nabitawan natin yung helmet e nagkakaroon ito ng lamat o tiny cracks at syempre pag may sticker di natin makikita yung cracks and in the event of collision yon ang syang magko colapse na kasama ung head na nakabalot sa utak ehe! isa pakong pasaway dito :O

just my addtional input... fish tayo :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Stickers? hmmm. I am sticker happy :O

opinion ko lang, mga bos... ang helmet kasi designed to shatter (mabasag) upon impact. ang pag-shatter o pag-basag nito ang nagsisilbing proteksyon sa ulo ng gumagamit. ang helmet kasi ang nag-aabsorb ng impact force sa aksidente. ang paglagay ng malaking sticker sa helmet will prevent the helmet from shattering... pag di nag-shatter ang helmet... bungo nyo yung mag-sha-shatter :(

kung gusto nyo ng customized look para sa helmet nyo... pa airbrush nyo nalang sa mga airbrush artist :)

designed to shatter upon impact? bro., d ba dapat, ang helmet me flex ng konte at ndi agad mababasag para ndi masyadong maapektuhan ang ulo natin upon impact? i mean, ndi ba dapat makunat at ndi mal***** ang outer shell nya? kasi me styro protector naman sa inner un d ba? please enlighten me on this one. parang nalilito ako eh. :D

hehehhehe.....napadaan lang pow...IMHO..pwede naman maglagay ng sticker basta maliit lang kasi pwedeng yung sticker nga ang maging dahilan para hindi mo makita yung cracks ng helmet mo..

O.T. JAWfree....si sir E.R. At Sir Alitaptap ..mga bros natin yan,,if ever makilala mo yan I would say cool sila kausap if the person behaves unethical pagpasensyahan mona pero hindi nya sinasadya yun...diba SHOOTING STAR OF MCP <<<---- clutch here!!!stay cool

nag PM na sa kin si E.R. i already accepted his apology. hi to u E.R.

i would say susundin ko na lang yung nasa MANUAL ng ZEUS helmet ko. no stickers and also DO NOT PAINT or modify it. siguro sa ibang helmet pwede yun.

the best thing to do is be defensive when you ride your bike, hane?

ei vagabond... musta na? long time no hear ah! hehehe.... :D
:O :O :O opsss! napalakas yata! :D

OK here's the real reason why manufacturers advice not to put stickers on helmets.......
The glue used by different sticker makers varies in the sort of chemicals they use depending to their applications. Some of these glues attack the paint as well as the shell rendering the shell weak.
The manufacturer's brand stickers use special glue that is safe for the paint and the shell.

Normally the reason why a BIG sticker goes on the lid in the first place is because the lid has been dropped or scratched, the sticker was then put on to cover the damage! :O

Ayan ha.... 'la na :argue: , :k na lang tayo, grabe na kasi pag :x eh :I

designed to shatter upon impact? bro., d ba dapat, ang helmet me flex ng konte at ndi agad mababasag para ndi masyadong maapektuhan ang ulo natin upon impact? i mean, ndi ba dapat makunat at ndi mal***** ang outer shell nya? kasi me styro protector naman sa inner un d ba? please enlighten me on this one. parang nalilito ako eh. :D

shatter may be the wrong word, boz... senysa na :) pero ang pagbasag ng helmet (EPS liner inside) is what absorbs the force of the impact in case of accident... isipin natin, kung gumamit ka ng helmet na metal, pag na-aksidente ka, dented lang helmet mo pero your head will absorb d force of impact.

kaya dapat ding iwasan na ibagsak ang helmet kasi magkakaroon ng maliliit na lamat na makakaapekto sa protective qualities ng helmet

ei vagabond... musta na? long time no hear ah! hehehe.... :D

pansin mo ron, :) namiss ko mga post nya dati eh!


regarding stickers>> i really appreciated the technical info by pongkie! but if the sticker is too small .. less naman siguro yung risk :)

so jawfree, musta yung stickers? post naman dito yung pics to break the ice- heat pla :) :C

di na lang ako gumamit. less gastos na nasunod ko pa yung nasa manual.

:O :O well its a win-win soltn after all :) :)

Yep, quality designed helmets tends to "break" (inner shell) coz of the impact just like what had happened to my wife's helmet, it cracked where the impact was, my wife can only remember about sliding on the ground but not hitting her head hard on it, examining the helmet it is obvious she did hit her head on the ground that hard, she doesn't feel pain on her head since most of the impact had been absorbed by the helmet with the cushioning inside.

After a reasonable (maybe hard enough) impact of a helmet after a crash, helmets should already be discarded and never be used again, you'll never know if a crack had already started. ;)



THE INNER SHELL
The polystyrene ARAI inner shell, which fits exactly in the outer shell, protects the head against impact by functioning as a safety cell. It smoothly reduces the impact energy. But if the density (indicated in 'gram/litre') of the expanded polystyrene inner shell is too high, it will be too hard and will therefore not absorb the impact force.

In order to provide maximum safety, the inner shell should not be too large, causing the helmet to 'dance' around your head nor too small so that it constricts and causes pain. If the size of a persons head is required place a measuring tape around the head, just above the eyes and ears and over the small bump on the back of the head and read the size where the tape joins

As is the nature of quality helmets, an ARAI helmet is constructed in such way that the energy of a severe impact is absorbed through PARTIAL DESTRUCTION of the shell and/or inner shell. Such damage may not be directly visible however from the outside. If the helmet has suffered a heavy impact, and any doubt exists about further ability to protect, we strongly advice either to return the helmet to the manufacturer for inspection or discard the helmet and replace it by a new ARAI helmet. To provide effective
ventilation, the inner shell is equipped with ventilation groves on the front, top and neck support side.

I don't think itsy bitsy little stickers do matter:D ...... errr ..... do they?

Sakit tyan ko sa katatawa sa inyo mga guys (and gals?) :O :O :O . Sticker can affect the aerodynamics of the helmet. Kaya dapat yan very smooth. But you will not noticed it kasi sa laboratory expt lang yang nalalaman. At halos negligible yan para maramdaman mo ang efecto. Nevertheless, use sticker kung makakapogi points yan sa 'yo at hindi mababawasan ang aesthetic looks.

Noyski :)

According to an off-road magazine, Helmets expires its protection capability after 3 to 4 years, and lessen if the helmet is frequently drop. Kaya they advise to helmet user to have applied an extra care. :C

sir, ibig sabihin kahit maganda pa helmet in 3 or 4 yrs we will need to replace it para hindi maging pangsalo ng kumalat na utak? hehehe :O

nice meeting you sir! the legendary E.R.

Actually I do not know if it necessary to follow this recommendation. In the Phil., some are only using helmet to avoid being apprehended by a policeman. Or "may be" they just want business? pero kung may pira ka man, mabuti pa bumili ka na ng bagu! Sabi nga nila to add pugie points. :O

My sister bought my pink helmet in England 10 years ago in a garage sale. So + mo pa na ginamit na ito doon for some times. knowing it is not safer as new helmets could give. Pinagtyatyagaan ko na ‘kse, I do not have money yet to buy a new one. Pero safe pa rin ito, considering to wear nothing at all. Kahit walang sasaluhing utak sa akin, pag nakasuot sa akin ito at napisak ang ulo ko… Di nakakahiya, kase ‘hindi ako makikilala. :O :O

Pero sa totoo lang, pag wala akong helmet, ang pakiramdam ko ang rupok-rupok ng katawan ko. So kahit short riding, I always wear my helmet. :C
