First off, thanks to the xrv.org.uk team. The tenner's subscription is a complete no-brainer when you use the forum the way I do - as a searchable knowledge-base about fun bodges and cheap parts. When I'm not learning how to source a £45 sat nav, or checking that a 1993 part will fit my 1999 TA, I just have a laugh by lurking through some of the threads.
One way the forum would offer even more value is to aggregate all the disparate information on products into a specific Product Review area. If you have 5000 registered folk, say about 1100 frequently using it (who will all, if there's any justice, stump up the tenner), then that's quite a resource of people who might be willing to give their opinions about products - maybe even answer online questionnaires and give comparative scores.
It's high time I replaced my helmet. I've been asking other folk about how they rate their helmets, and looking at independent reviews on the interweb. What I would really trust is the opinions of other riders from this forum, presented in a way that made it easy to make a decision.
Does anyone else think the way I do?
