Yes, its not just the quality of the innards that reduce and fail over time.
Sun and atmosphere can take its toll on the plastic outer, causing it to be brittle and shatter, failing to provide any abrasive protection in a crash.


And there are some horriffic bike crashes at 20-30mph, speeds which I am sure you will be doing.

I've seen it

Please don't put a price on your head or compromise on your safety.
