Why accept 3rd or 4th hand information? http://www.smf.org/ http://www.smf.org/stds.html http://www.smf.org/faqs.html Snell does test with higher impact forces than DOT specifies. A major difference between M2000 and SA2000 is that the SA automottive competition spec addresses flamability.

Flag to half-staff, cue the trumpeter. @ 10,912 miles, a sharp rock on the road out to McCully's mine ended my Duro's misery. Wanted to see how far it would really go. Probably could have gotten 500 more on pavement, but I wanted to do good science for The List. Dave was with me on Thayne's '02: I rode back to the shop and took the PW out to rescue mine. Next? A Kenda K270 on rear; stay tuned.
