I had a minor crash going from gravel onto slippery cobblestones. My body feels ok, but I noticed this small crack in my helmet a few days later. Would this be something that warrants a replacement? I’d rather err on the side of caution.
Curious to hear what you think is the time to replace a helmet!

“I’d rather err on the side of caution.” Than I don’t get why you are even asking this question 🙂
Get a nice new MIPS helmet.
Yep replace

The rule of thumb is to replace your cycle Helmet every four to five years anyway.. the EPP (expanded Polypylene) loses its absorption properties though time. Don’t nail me down to an exact time scale and I’m sure a six year old helmet is better than none…

Helmet is easier to replace than your head.
