Hi! Do you have a broken BD helmet? I'm looking to fix mine using your now-useless buckle!
The "male" half of the buckle on my BD vector helmet broke. BD said they don't have replacement parts. Due to the way it's attached, it's impossible to remove the "female" half of the buckle. Therefore I can't just replace the entire buckle with an aftermarket version: I need an exact replacement for the "male" half.
If you have a broken BD helmet (not necessarily a Vector, I think they all use the same buckle), let me know! You can feel good about keeping another otherwise perfectly good helmet out of the landfill!
I can pay $10 for your trouble and shipping (should just fit in an envelope with a single stamp). Thank you!

in Bozeman you could try http://sosew.co and see if Angela could sew a whole new buckle on.

bummer -- we've broken a couple of those buckles and BD was always generous with replacements. The last time we asked for two buckles since this is a reoccurring issue and they complied but I'm hesitant to give the extra away since we have a couple of these helmets and I expect we'll need it.

Good idea, I'll reach out if this proves fruitless!

I have a few spare ones from a vector. I'm guessing it's the same buckle. Happy to ship them tomorrow if you like.

edit:

I was wrong. I only have the female side. But I did find a random male connector that works in the BD female helmet connector that you're welcome to have. No need to pay me, just extend a kindness to others when you can. Thanks for fixing things instead of throwing them out.

Nick, you still want me to send that buckle your way? I haven't heard from you yet.
