Helmets with roached liner

[Borracho]

Was wondering if anybody has any experience with relining helmets. I have a couple really nice full face Nolans (early 2000's I believe) but the liner inside is falling apart revealing the white Styrofoam around the shell. I hate to toss them because on the outside they are nearly perfect. Guy threw them in with the bike I purchased. I was going to sell them on CL but now I'm wondering if it's even worth doing. Do people buy helmets that need new liners? I personally would not but I have a thing about buying helmets brand spanking new. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

I can't say I replace my lid every 5 years as manufacturers and SNELL suggest, but I do think there is something to the idea that the styrofoam breaks down over time. Think of any old piece of white styrofoam that's been sitting around for a few years and how it gets weak and friable. I'd say time to relegate those to loaners for when your mother in law rides with you.

Chopcult has a detailed tread on relining old helmets. You should be able to Google, 'helmet reline'.

Thanks for the info guys. I was mainly wondering if I should even bother posting them for sale on CL. Don't necessarily want to wear them myself but they are taking up room in the garage and I hate to just dumpster them. I could always make something "artsy" out of them if nothing else.

I have seen them used as hanging flower pots. Not a very good suggestion at this time on year in the northern hemisphere, sorry.
