  1. dried naturally in garage with newspaper inside if very wet. Pic of the exact boot below
  2. Normal use. Rode one trial in them and a few hour long practice sessions. They get washed with a hose and brush and bucket of hot soapy water after each use then treated with dubbin. I'm only a 44 (9.5UK) so can't see any reason i drag my toes unduly and I'm no earth mover walking the sections. All this is the reason I'm so baffled by their premature failure. They're so comfy, it's incredibly frustrating
  3. Cheers for the replies thus far. My last boos were Diadora and fell apart after about 8 months, the stitching down the outside of the small toe split making them as impenetrable as a sieve on both. I could go to a cobbler and get them glued easily, but the point of this thread is that the same thing happened a couple of months back and was deemed as my fault. Now the same thing has happened again I am trying to glean other people's experiences of the same boot as I think it's a bit poor for them to fail so soon
  4. I've had a pair of SIDIs around six months, seriously impressed with their comfort but after only about four months the sole of both boots started separating from the front and one section broke away completely. Sent them back to Feridax who said that it was crash damage (can't remember the exact wording but words to that effect) and didn't constitute a warranty claim but they agreed to resole them for a fee and send them back. Ive used them about four times since their return and the EXACT same thing has started to happen on both boots again. Has anyone had similar experiences. Trials boots should be more robust than this, surely?!
  5. What a boy, what an inspiration!
  6. Anybody know when it's due on TV? Would also like to see some of the coverage of Danny Macaskill at half time.....was he impressive? Cheers
  7. No mention of the new ones on there. In any case, it was the carbon one rather than a carbon effect one I was looking for. Cheers for the input in any case
  8. Any ideas whether these are available anywhere yet? I had a Mitani one for my 06 4RT and it was the cat's pyjamas, i've now got a new bike and would like a similar one. Unfortunately the fittings are different with the new exhaust systems. Any ideas if anyone is selling them yet? Cheers
  9. Keep it singing in low gears, weight back and arms nearly straight to keep the front light. Never ride in the rut of the rider in front, you will sink. Oh, and having a 4RT does help too
  10. Cheers for your replies peeps, MCE seems to be very reasonable indeed
  11. Cheers fr your replies chaps, but any ideas where I can get some from? Website/dealer names would be ace
  12. Is the replica Montesa/Repsol riding kit available anywhere these days? I've seen it a few places on the net but there's poor availability. Has it been discontinued? Cheers
  13. Cheers Jordi, i'll check that out
  14. I know, I know, i'm living in the past...but it's good stuff and prolonges chain life by an inordinate amount. However, no bugger seems to sell it any longer. Staniforths of Sheffield stock it but will only sell to traders. Anyone know of anywhere that stocks it in the UK and will sell to any old Tom, Dick or Harry? Suggestions greatly appreciated Cheers
