This week Chipps caught up with the man behind the design, Craig Glaspell AKA Stikman. There’s certainly more going on with helmet technology these days than at least we realised as you will come to learn in this fascinating podcast episode.

Scott Ransom: The Super Trail Bike
There’s a lot going on with the new Scott Ransom. But in a nutshell it is a mountain bike with 170mm of travel, progressive geometry, and a 6-bar rear suspension layout. The Scott Ransom comes with 29in wheels as standard, but if you fancy a mullet, it can be ridden…

Good insight into the TLD brand. Recommended. The A3 sounds / looks like one of the best half shelf helmets.
shell !!
Cheers Chipps
