|  Chain Dust & Zeus Helmets
No one from my favorite shops can explain what's going on with this reddish/brown chain dust, now thrown over the back wheel, kickstand, and lower frame. Weeks ago I did a really sincere job on the chain; store-bought chain cleaner, chain wax, even brake cleaner with several toothbrushes on the sprocket; looked like new when I was done. Didn't ride the bike for two days; thought that cure time would even help. But now, even on the chain, I've got this reddish/brown dust stuff - Looks from a distance like rust, or like I've been cruising the Louisiana backroads. The Zeus 508 modular helmet I bought was a disaster. I've also got a great KBC fullface, just excellent in all ways. The Zeus was incredibly loud, chintzy vents that wouldn't close entirely, or stay closed, a child's Walmart boot strap closer strap, and a gap of 1/16" you could slid a dime into between the helmet and the top vent channels. It let in so much air my eyes were watering on the one day I used it...Incredible, really, but most reviews I had read were positive, 'the cheap good way to buy a modular helmet'...etc...Incredibly poor design and materials. |
