Trials Gear

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

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

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

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

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!

Hi Anybody know were I can get HEBO MONTESA riding gear, Pidocks have sold out? Cheers David

Hi peps. I am on the look out for some hard wearing waterproof trousers. The only ones i can find online have armour and padding which I don't want. I just want a pair of heavy duty trousers. I have a trial coming up with a fair bit of green laning and road miles between sections so a good pair of trousers are a must.

Motocross Helmet or open face ? is a MX helmet frowned upon?

Anyone got or used Forma Boulder boots? What's your reviews?

What do you guys do to keep your feet warm when out riding? my hands and feet are generally cold anyway so im up against it from the start. ive tried two pairs of socks etc i got good boots (hebo) so not wearing cheap happy shopper ones. any tips?

has anyone tried having their boots resoled . boots are ok but soles worn out. They would need stitching and glueing at a cobblers if replacement sole are available . This must be cheeper than new ones.

Hi I'm new to the world of trials so have NOTHING! does anyone know any decent places in and around West Yorkshire I can get some decent but not mega expensive gear? Boots helmet etc even second hand would do to start off with Cheers.

Hi, Is there an online directory of UK trials shops? I usually buy online but I'm looking for boots and would prefer to try them on due to having wide feet and large calfs. Looking at the cheaper end of the range, definitely under £150. I'm in North East England, and visit North Yorkshire frequently. Thanks Allan

Hi, Just ordered an Ohlins rear shock for a 2011 Sherco 300 from Splatshop and was wondering if anyone knows the real Ohlins part number for it? It will not arrive to me for about 2-3 weeks and I was wanting to read an owners manual or setup stuff specific to the model in the mean time. Thanks. Brian

Just thought I'd let everyone know about my latest purchase. I was in the market for a new helmet and after some hunting around I found these http://www.trialendurodirect.com/products/29_1/2011_GG_JITSIE_GAS_GAS_TRIALS_HELMETS__930.html Now yes they are the 2011 range, doesn't bother me in the slightest! And they have limited colours and sizes, but I like white anyway and they had my size so quite a result for the price I think. The service was also excellent, came very quick and emailed me at every stage of delivery. Hope this is of some use to somebody else.

The vented Airoh looks interesting but there are no close dealers where I can try one for fit. Can anyone comment on the inside shape? Is it like the old Bieffe or more like a Shiro? Or....

Hi, does anyone know anywhere in the West Midlands where I can try on Trials Boots as so far I cannot find anywhere! Any help would be appreciated! Many thanks Stu
