The Annoying Slipping Visor - A Quick Fix

If you own a Schubert C4 Pro, C4, C3 or E1 helmet (and some other brands), you all share a small fault. After a time the visor pivot position holding teeth wear down and don’t hold the visor open partially (or fully) when moving at any speed. That’s a problem in the Queensland climate. Luckily there is a very simple fix: 1. Remove visor from helmet 2. Take 2 x 49.5mm diameter O-rings x 3mm thick (50 mm will work just as well) and place them over the visor locking pivots (they measure 49.7 mm diameter) 3. With O-rings placed over locking pivots carefully replace screen.

O-rings are available from Repco and many other auto outlets, Repco sell them individually.

The O-rings tighten up the mechanism and the visor will stay open at any pre-setting at any speed. These are fantastic helmets and this quick fix ensures the ease of use of the visor over time.

1. Visor locking pivot

3. O-ring in place on the locking pivot 2. 2 x 50mm x 3mm o-rings

4. Visor in place on the helmet
