Trials Gear

I made a wheel bearing removal tool today, based on the Jitsie model, out of Jatoba wood. It has a janka hardness of 2,350 - 2,600. That is extremely hard wood. No pun intended. It dulled every one of my lathe knives to get it done. Cost me $5,50 and 1 hour of time. Jitsie’s is $60. This’ll work on 6004 2RS bearings (20 x 42 x 12) with a center spacer.

I know the subject of '' vent '' on helmet as been often ask, but with new model arriving every year, what is in your opinion the one today

New boot day😁 forma boulder comp,size 45 first impressions are they are a lovely boot nice fit should break in nicely i bought these as I can’t feel a thing with my x-power mx boots,obviously not as protective but as far as trials boots go they seem really sturdy.

Hi everyone😁 are there any trials pants which have knee and hip armour or pockets to add your own? ithe hebo tech 2025 look good with there level 11 knee armour but no hip armour as far as know. basically im looking at a very lightweight summer pants to do my local green lanes and trials practicing. cheers in advance👍👍

I very rarely ride sections where my car is parked 20 yards away but more trail riding where my car is miles away and I’m just wondering what others, who ride similarly, take along with them. The things I take are carried in a backpack and include basic tools (sockets, Torx sockets, screw bits, pliers, spark p. wrench), spark plug, first aid, phone, tire pencil gauge, extra air filter, tire sealant, extra fuel, small flashlight, silicone tape, wire, zip ties, 2 chain quick links, and water. I don’t carry tire irons because I’ve had very good luck with sealants. I’m also not interested in clothing because that changes with the seasons but I’m wondering if I’m missing anyth…

Say you were just getting started in Trials (me), but also did adventure trips in the summer. I think these Leatt HydraDri 7.5 boots might work well for both, thoughts from the group?https://www.advrider.com/leatt-hydradri-7-5-boots/ My other boots are very stiff, heavy motocross style (Astar Tech 8). Thanks.

Hi everyone, I've just bought my son a trials bike to start riding & he's asked me to get one so we can go to some practice days together. I was involved in a motorcycle crash some years ago which has left me disabled. My right arm is locked at 90 degrees on the elbow so I cannot straighten one of my arms. I know the boat has sailed for competing but I would like to potter around. I was wondering if anyone knows if anyone does any disabled handlebars or some kind of adaptations to help. Thanks Simon

Anybody have recommendations for something light that protects your ribs some but doesn't cook you? Had a good one yesterday, high sided my TRS onto a parked GasGas solid bar end and a Sherco serrated foot peg. Tired of busting ribs.

I am in Bedfordshire where within say 50 miles can I find a shop with a decent set of alloy trials bars I can examine in the real world?

Who makes the stiffest trials boots?

Anyone know of any vegan friendly trials boots .. I'm struggling .. Thought maybe Gaerne Balance Classics made from Lorica but not sure Thanks Steve

I'm a big heavy dude with an active job, so I have quite huge calves. The A-stars Tech T's I tried out when buying my bike weren't even close to closing. I found a couple older threads about this topic, but thought I'd ask around in case there's any new models. Right now it looks like Gaerne Balances with the adjustable strap lugs are my best bet, any other models I should look into?

Just wondering; opinions/advice on best Carhartt style work pants for trials riding; with mountain bike type knee pads worn underneath and should they and can they be worn in or over trials boots?

I am requesting where this Sherpa T riding gear is produced? Lightweight jacket, pantalones with Sherpa logo. Video is from 2020 Looks like a Bultaco trials club in Spain.

I have wanted a boot dryer for ages. There are dozens of different sorts online but the only ones that possibly appealed to me were very expensive, and I still couldn't be sure they would be right when they arrived. So finally I made my own, which saved some money, exactly fits my requirements and it was satisfying to make something rather than just flashing my card. The hair dryer was under £10 from Argos and I'm running it on low setting. The rest is 40mm waste pipe. The four-way joint was the only way I could get an equal tee-piece so the fourth opening is sealed with a piece of plywood. When it's running there's just a gentle waft of warm air coming out of t…

I’m after a new helmet, but a lot seem to have a built-in / pull-down visor Are they worth having, Is anyone using one?

Would a "half" helmet be accepted at a trials competition. The kind that just cover the top of your head. I use one for practice and really like it. It is DOT approved. I'll be riding in the lowest skilled sportsman class.

I often buy spare parts for our bikes online, I would like to know where you get your supplies. I'm in Italy but I often buy in Spain where it seems convenient (if you're not in a hurry) For example I buy on t3moto or greenlandmx, i saw that there are some good prices on too trialworld. Can any of you recommend other sites in various parts of the world? if it were possible to make a nice list it would be useful for everyone, thanks in advance

Hi guys just looking at buying some new trials gear can find the tops not a problem but the pants all seem slim fittings so just wondered on ideas as to what the larger guys buy I'm a 42 waist and have seen guys bigger than me doing it so wondered where and what you all buy Thanks

Just wondering if anyone has found if a certain boot brand is shorter in height than others. I'm only small and don't want them up under my knee cap. Cheers Simsy
