Trials Gear

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?

My last few trials have been in wet conditions and once my gloves are wet they get slimy and slippery. I end up getting arm pump and or very tired hands because of reduced grip. Using renthal Medium compound grips and I like them but they are for **** with slimy gloves. I've searched for this and did not see any recommendations. Anyone have a glove that is tacky even when wet?

Does anyone know how the sizes come up on the Gaerne boots? with Sidis (at least with the road boots) you have to buy a size up as they are stupidly small. But not sure with these if they come up small or large compared to other boots?

Hi all, I have been the owner of a set of Hebo Tech Evo 2 trials boots now for just over six months. However in this short amount of time i have had any problems with them. Within at least six weeks of buying the boots the bottom buckle had came unscrewed ad fallen off leaving me with out the whole bottom strap. My other problem is all the outside layer which i presume is leather is breaking up into scale like bits giving the boots a horrible appearance. I am not sure why this has happened as i have taken good care of the boots and washed them after every use and kept them in my room away from the elements. I have one slight problem which is i brought the boots from…

Are these boots any good for trials riding?

Is there such a thing on the market as a intermediate throttle tube ? The new bike came with a fast action which I liked in most sections today but in a couple it was a bit quick and got away from me. I have tried my slow acton Xblox on it and did not like it as much as the fast.

Anyone out there know where i can get some replacement straps please

Looking for Trial clothing with no, or very little graphic on it. I need to be able to print my own sponsor on it, but I

Any advise on good gear to protect the shoulders, arms, chest and back? I have been using a Motocross chest protector, which is very restrictive, hot and clunky to move around in. Would prefer some downhill mountain bike gear but don't want the full suit gear. G-Form has some cool technology for their pads, which when hit, stiffen up to protect you, then go back to a more plyable state after...all on a mositer wicking shirt. Anybody thry these for Trials? Thanks Tom

I have a NZI fibreglass? helmet and was wondering, just with normal usage, roughly how long can I expect it to last before it needs changing ? I remember reading somewhere that road bike helmets need changing quite regular, because a helmet is like an egg shell and tiny cracks appear with usage, which cause the helmet to possibly break with an impact ! So if anybody has any ideas ? Phil

I've got a pair of Forma Boulder boots and just wondering what people do to clean them and maintain them, is any sort of wax needed ?

Anyone now of a good helmet for a 2yr old? I obviously need something light for him. Was thinking about a full face mountain bike helmet. Does anyone know of a good quality lightweight full face? His safety is important so price isn't really an issue.

Hi, Just bought a new pair of Gaerne Balance boots in white from a shop in Stroud and got them to send them me by post. My question is,do these boots stretch or loosen as they bed in???? They are a little on the tight side,but i once made the mistake of buying a pair of Hebo's a while back that were a nice fit new,but once i had worn them a couple of times they were like a sloppy slipper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your experiences would be great........thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all i have got hold of a couple of used Osets for my kids and they are loving it ! No fear and plenty of confidence LOL. I slightly more worried. I had them at the trials club today on a training day and they did well but couple of falls on rocks bashed knees/elbows led to tears then couple of minutes later back up and off again. They fine but i now thinking do they need knee/elbow protectors? Obviously they have helmets/boots/gloves. How do knee protectors work with boots? I knew to trials myself so maybe i just over worried ? Any advice from other parents would be great i don't want them to be wrapped up in cotton wool just want to be sure i doing right by them. Man…

Anyone know of a good place to get my helmet sprayed at a reasonable price ?

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.

These should have been in the shops in November but still cannot see any for sale. Anybody know what's going on?
