Trials Gear

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

do we need one? There isn't anything in the handbook but i have noticed some new helmets have them on and others don't. One which doesn't being my new Airoh which i got at christmas.

Hey folks! Has anyone ever heard of Stupidgreg.com..... ? I just bought another trials bike after a few years away from the sport and was looking for good prices on gear and apparel and found this site. Like I stated, it seems to good to be true..... They do not accept Pay Pal like most places in the USA and I can't seem to find anything on the net about them as a company. Anyone, unfortunately, get burned by them? Thanks

I have never seen a pair in person, but are they any different than mechanics gloves?

Just a word of warning, got a pair of askew trials boots less than a year ago and all the sticking has dissintergrated,and sone of the thin leather has torn, they are pretty much useless. It may be an isolated case but the old saying goes you get what you pay for.

Just wondered if anyone has tried one of these and what they thought.... In principle the idea seems great but none of the major manufacturers have gone this way. Cheers

"Proper" trials clothing (shirt and trousers) is expensive but should be made for the job. So why does mud and chain grease not wash off easily? Does anyone have any cunning methods for keeping their riding gear looking good?

As the weather has been 20+ degrees Celsius and I have a trial tomorrow what's the best way to keep cool whilst riding?

I have a Hebo zone 5 helmet, it has a tinted visor fitted. I have just bought a clear visor from Trials UK , I asked how to change the visor and I was told to just remove the liner which I did and I still cannot see how to remove it, can anybody help please ????? Contacted Hebo in Spain for the information ( had to do it in Spanish) Regards Barry

Hi, I am looking for a pair of trials pants for upto about

Hi Guys, Anyone got any good suggestions for protection gear? Looking to get some elbow pads and maybe a back protector, rather than the whole vest which is uncomfortable to wear while trialing, is hard shell elbow pads better protecton then soft shell, has anyone used these? cheers Colin

Hi guys looking to get my first pair of boots , can anyone recommend a pair ? Don't mind paying as I hate cheap uncomfortable things on my feet . Cheers

Just wondering what boots others are happy with. I have Novogars which have worn through on the inside of the right boot in front of heel. (found this out stood in a stream yesterday) they are nearly 6 yrs old. I don't know if this is a common place for them to go?? I have found them a comfortable boot but may go for another make if I can find ones that are maybe stronger in that area. I will be going to BVM they seem to have a wide range . Any to steer clear of or any recommendations worth a look at. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone purchased and used one of the new Wulfsport Tri-Action helmets? I'm thinking of a new skid lid and this one looks good but I'd be interested in the opinion of any users. I shan't be buying without trying one on as a I know fit is a personal and important thing so no advice needed on checking fit etc, tec, thanks!

Hi one and all, can any one recommend a trials helmet for some one that gets a sweat rash every time he wears it for more than an hour,at the moment he wears a Hebo ECE22-05

im trying to get kitted out with some new gear... i dont have a fortune to spend so want to spend wisley... ive looked at alot of online trials retailers but they all seem to have a very small selection of clothing/helmets etc etc.. is there any larger online store i have missed which can offer a decent selction of clothing and helmets at good prices ? i dont think there are any shops near to where i live in runcorn and this is tricky cos i wanat to buy a new helmet....obviously ill need to try it on etc.... are there any shops around my way anyone knows of...or at least a decent shop in the north west with bit of choice, which would be worth travelling too..... any…

does anyone know of a good alternative to use other than the gaerne boot paste on the oiled boots. I just got a new pair and forgot to get any gaerne paste. Could i use mink oil?

Just pulled my relatively new S3 pants out of the washer and the buckle was in pieces. Anybody know where to get replacement part? Closest I can find seems to be snowboard toe buckles.

Does anyone have novogar boots that rub at the outside of the ankle bone? What did you do to fix it? The fold of the boot at the ankle pushes inwards and rubs the crap out of my ankle bone. Only on my right foot.

So you might have seen my intro and hello post re my new Montesa 4RT. Well I couldn’t buy a new bike and not have a helmet helmet to match, so I invested in this new Airoh TRR S model. It’s a fabulous helmet, can’t believe how light it is, spec says 850 grams, but it feels a lot lighter in use.
