Trials Gear

I'm after some domestic advice coz the mrs ain't sure either, Just after some advice on how to wash trials clothing to keep the colours bright and keep the white bits white. I have tried a few things but can't seem to keep the whites brilliant white. Thanks

Hi all, where could I get some clice Sherco gear from like MRS uses? I have looked everywhere but I have had no success. Is the Sherco branded gear just the same as the clice gear? Thanks.

Thought I'd share what I've found to be the best for waterproofing boots. http://www.altberg.co.uk/leder-gris/product/leder-gris-xtreme/ I've used it on my black Gaerne boots since new and it's very good and only £5 a tin which lasts ages. It's also available in Clear which will be good for the pro's in their white boots - ideal for Scott cheers Michael

Anyone else think trials gear quality is poor! Bought new 2 pairs of hebo gloves in janauary they fell in bits within a couple of months bought the new trial gear pants had to be restiched shirt as faded and looking tired gloves they also have fallen apart new jitsie jacket I got in march zip as given up! I find that it is over priced and poor the only positive I have is that my gaerne boots have lasted about 6 years!

Hi Folks, i'm new to riding and just getting kitted up but i can't find trousers/pants in my size, most companies finish there sizing at 38" i have found one company going to 40" waist, i would like a 42". i am sure i am not the largest person to ride a trials bike, i know the wife says i should my be seen in Lycra but never the less i would like the right gear. Any advise of where to shop in the UK or online for world wide shopping? PS. I think some one needs to tell Hebo XXL is not 38" waist Cheers Paul

Hi there folks, just wondering of any hints or tips in cleaning / protecting my forma boulder boots? I'm new to the sport so the boots have only been entered in 1 trial and a few practice sessions so its fairly new, just wondering what sort of techniques or products can be used to prolong the life of them cheers for all your help

Hi, After having a mild crash last week were I didn't have enough momentum up a small steep rooty climb and the bike flipped. I fell off the back cracking the back of my head on the hard stoney ground. At this point there was a sequence of events that went something like this, helmet hits ground and stops dead, head then hits inside of helmet (reasonably hard) to cause a bump & bruise and when I rode two days later on Saturday the bump must have been quite pronounced and it hurt to wear my helmet. I've had my helmet for about 18 months, it’s a Spada helmet that are fairly cheap but not the cheapest and before anyone asks, the fitment of the helmet is correct. So, I…

I have some new sidi zero boots and they are not water proof at all .walking in ankle deep streams lets water in straight away,is this normal or could they be faulty ? The old gaernes seamed a lot better.

OK...my red, white and blue "Captain America" Alpinestars from the 80's finally gave up, and my spares are too clapped out to wear. I crashed, ripped off a sole and broke a toe. I've always got used boots before...this is my very first pair of NEW trials boots. The Novogars look good for the money...as in, they're the cheapest. Got the "carbon" look...very cool. My feet are 8.5 EE or EEE, almost as wide as long with very high instep and arches. I got the 43 (about 9.5) and they're a tad snug in the width, but I walked around in them for awhile and they now feel super comfortable. I had to let the lowest strap WAY out so I could buckle it. The soles are WAY stiffer…

Hello, I am coming to the UK for a holiday and will be in and around London does anyone know of a good trials accessory /gear shop in this area? Looking for clothing, helmet etc and any goodies I can get for my GasGas Many thanks in advance Scorptc

does anyone know where I can buy shiro trials helmets im looking to buy 5 of them in different sizes

There's a real nice pair on Ebay. They're not mine, I just thought someone might be interested. Cool piece of classic gear.

I'm looking for a new trials helmet. Some have no venting, some have what appears to be a minimal amount and the Airoh has huge vents. I tried Airoh on in a shop, but the shop keeper said the vents aren't that effective. I wondered what other peoples experiences are?

Hi guys, ill soon be ordering a pair of specific trials boots, and i want to know your opinion... Im in the market for the boot with maximum FEEL and CONTROL when riding.. Been staring at the SIDI Trial Zero and Astars No Stop as main options... Opinions, Comparission on both.... I mentioned this two for their killer looks and recognised brand, but if you have any others suggestions im here to learn and your advice is welcome..

My birthday is coming up and my wife has decided to give me a new helmet Nothing to expensive though, i have been looking at some Jitsie helmets or wulfsport, any riders here using them or can recomend them, other helmets below 100 Euro is also interresting? I cannot test them in a store so i have to take my chances with the sizing, should i be ok if i order by measuring my headsize? Thanks /Mic

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

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 everyone... Im about to start riding motorcycle trials and over here theres no much options when it comes to trails-specific-gear... Im mainly talking about Helmets and Boots.... is there any other option you think would worth trying... For example a BMX/skate helmet???... Those are pretty lightweight and offer "some" protection... I have no ideas to replace a soft, light trials boot... Anyone riding with some weird stuff i can find over here???

Hi guys Does anyone make low profile knee/shin guards that will work well for trials. I dont mind bleeding, my pops does Cheers

I was particularly thinking about boots... It sure would be nice to have a place to post gear for sale, or wanted. I bet there's a lot of gear that's been grown out of but is still in good shape. My kid is wearing MX boots, as he needs a new pair every year. No way could I buy him new trials boots at that rate. I'm still wearing 80's vintage red, white and blue Alpinestars!
