Why?The mushroom tire plugger is the wrong solution for this
Mushroom plugs are what I've been using and have had no problems except for when I had a house key stuck in the tire that produced a large slit .

Why?The mushroom tire plugger is the wrong solution for this
There was a test by Ryan FortNine/Canadian moto parts supplier & YouTuber which showed they are inferior to other plugs and implied they may be dangerous. Watch his video and decide for yourself.Why?

Thanks for the information.Watch his video and decide for yourself.

Chin vent on that Aria Defiant works pretty darn well. Worked a lot better before I installed the Madstad screen! But it is one of the best for ventilation I found in a road helmet. Sadly the new version of the Arai Defiant looks to have a lot less venting. I love the Arai quality but am considering a Schuberth E1 for when this Aria needs replacing. The Schuberth E1 is the same shell as the C3Pro, same visor too. Chin bar is swapped out and replaced with one that supposedly increases airflow by 60%. Or so they claim. C3Pro is being phased out for the new C4Pro. Likely an E2 version will arrive from Schuberth in the next year or two?Awesome photos. Lots of greenery! And another guy who loves his stickers!!! Yeah!! I said it once before. Send your blah pictures... because to us, they are awesome! I wanna zoom in on that luggage case and see where you went.
I am kinda wondering how well that chin vent works. Mine kinda sucks so with the Neotech II, I need to ride with the helmet visor open.
When I close the Neotech II, It is like being in an upside down fishbowl. I tried that space helmet thing once when I was five, and I realized that you can only wear it for about 30 seconds before you see stars.
We have a bison farm down here not far from me. They are huge. Okay, the Longhorns are big, but the bison are bigger. They were once nearly extinct. Because of independent managed bison farming, we can now enjoy a bison burger. No kidding. They taste pretty good. Less fat. So add bacon!
Send your pictures to dear 'ol Captain Noah... until it gets weird.
600 mile service: change oil, check chain/lube chain, check for loose nuts bolts....done.Went for a 120+ mile ride. Now I need to do the 600 mile service. My Skwoosh gel pad was a big improvement for the stock seat. It will definitely work for me until I sort what I want to do for a long-term seat solution. Laminar Lip and other goodies should be arriving soon.
Yep, hoping some goodies will arrive tomorrow so I can install some of them while changing oil, etc.600 mile service: change oil, check chain/lube chain, check for loose nuts bolts....done.
I wear a Shoei GT Air XL and it is my most favorite, comfortable helmet I've ever had. The GT Air is named that because it flows some serious air. Most air flow in a helmet I've ever had too. And as for on-bike helmet storage, invest in a top box. I love mine. I can fit my helmet AND a riding jacket in it.Took it to work, usual 16-mile commute each way with too much highway.
On the way home, stopped at Cycle Gear to pick up New Helmet Attempt #3. Turns out it's not easy to find an XL helmet that fits the frunk. My old one -LS2 Stream- was a lucky find, but its weight, aging, and slightly too oval shape means the end of the road for it after 4 years. New one is HJC RPHA 70 ST, which is apparently 1/2 inch too big (in XL shell) to let the frunk close. Needs more investigation, because it's otherwise quite light, comfortable and quiet. Wondering what you any of guys with XL or bigger heads settled on.
Saw another NC rider in the parking lot, on a nice Blue one, highly farkled.
Stopped next to him to say hi, but he was on the phone, and just left.

You think your camera catches the wind? We should be lucky that the cameras are dinky now.I need to try the GT air. I get so streamy when I am out in the open Texas blow dryer fields. I crop my hair to the scalp so no air moves up there. Even when my vents are open on the neotec II it is too closed up over my scalp.
With the camera mount on my chin, and the chin guard lifted up, the guard gets blown over my head because of how the camera mount catches the wind. This is not so much of a problem at normal speeds, but when I get out in the open, hyper speeds can be a real neck strain. Chin camera mounts on clamshell helmets can be a problem.
