Westbeef Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 The rubber bit around the bottom of my helmet has come away and is only held on that front. I'm a bit short for a few weeks so need a temporary repair until I can buy a new one. Will some superglue be ok to fix for now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gin Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Ehh... Any adhesive, as far as I know, on the outer shell is a massive No no.. Tony will be one of the best ones to help you out with this one though..Are you able to put any pics up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can ride without the rubber on but it shoots the wind up into my helmet and gets a bit cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Superglue is fine.. i would suggest using the gel type as its easier to manage than the super runny liquid.superglue dries extremely quickly and without vapours.. its these vapours that can harm helmet shells... and its more of a problem if the shell is plastic.the glues I would be wary of are the type that contain petroleum type solvents and take a long time to set/harden. or describe themselves as a form of 'weld'.

MR_W Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 That should just push back in round the edge. Unless I am missing what's broken through that pic :/Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
