Wheels of Happiness
Rizal, Philippines | March 28, 2014
I finally got the repair kit for Spyder at SM Tayta yesterday and had it installed immediately.
Total cost:
1. eyeglass - P395.00
2. nosepad 99.00
3 cleaner 120.00
Total 624.00
I had to wait for one month before the order for the parts arrived. It was worth the wait because they came in perfectly. Spyder has good line of eyewear and it starts at P1,600. (but they are designed for safety) and helmets (the lowest is at P2,000)
Their carbon fiber version is a P3,400.00 (vs Bell at P9,000)

My New Helmet - Giro, cheaper and lighter
Wheels of Happiness
Rizal, Philippines | January 14, 2014
I invested in a new helmet last week and bought it on CC at Bike 101 in Marcos Highway near Robinson, together with a carbon fiber style bar tape and and insulated water bottle (to keep drink cold) all for P2,200.00. The Giro helmet set me back by P1,500.00 but is lighter (and cheaper) than my old Spyder helmet whose plastic attachment to the strap keeps breaking up.

Repairing my Spyder Helmet
Real Cyclists
Angono Rizal PHL 11/11/2013
The black parts to the rear right and left were the affected parts
Ever since I had an accident (I fell off the bike after its front wheel got caught in the drainage gratings in front of Starbucks in Shangri La Edsa) I paid close attention to my head gear. If I did not wear my helmet at that time, I would not be posting here. So I bought i Spyder head gear which set me back by several thousands.
However, for two months now, I am bothered by the two tears at the plastic attachment of the polyurethane part to the straps. The attachment enables you to tighten or loosen the strap.
Since I heard Cataps has done of many miracle work on expensive helmets using nothing more than plastic from used containers and Mighty Bond, I consulted him yesterday at Morong, Rizal at a pitstop. He enumerated to me the process. So we agreed, if my repair failed, he I would bring the helmet to him. So on the way back, I bought Mighty Bond which set me back by P48.00. (My helmet cost me P2,700) about 2 years ago.
Yesterday afternoon, I tried the repair, and judging from the pictures, I think I was successful.
