Trials Gear

Hi. My local trials shop doesn't sell what I need (some alpine star boots). I live in Middlesbrough and am off to Leeds and Newcastle shortly. Does anybody know of any decent trials bike shops in them areas? Cheers chris

Hello chaps, I'm new to trials and in need of some knee protection. I have quite bad knees for a 21 year old due to previous sports injuries . My question is what kind of knee protection do you think would be suitable, i was thinking moto-cross style trousers with built in knee pads, or just to have trials style trousers but with actual knee pads on top. As i said i'm very new to trials and are still to compete so have little knowledge on to what other riders use. I don't want to go overkill with the pads and loose flexibility, but then again i want to protect them. Any help/links/tips would be greatly appreciated

Morning All, I had a pretty shocking ride yesterday at the Eastern Experts trial at the wonderful Purl's Hill Wood on the Suffolk/ Essex border. We all have off days, and this was mine! I had a nasty off when I failed to crest the top of a big climb and clattered into a tree (I actually managed to paddle out and saved 2 marks, so that's the important thing...), this resulted in my full decelerating weight falling onto my left footpeg. I now have a hole in my shin that makes me feel sick if I even think about it, never mind look at it! This is the worst 'shark bite' I've ever had, but I do get peg marks from time to time. It's made me think that a decent shin protector …

Hi, im looking at maybe purchasing one of the mots carbon helmets and have two questions 1. What dealers stock these helmets or is it just gasgasuk? Im near scunthorpe and want to try one on before buying but dont really fancy travelling over an hour and half to gguk to try one on. 2. Has anyone bought one of these helmets and what do you think to them?

a friend of mine asked me for some advice on helmets the other day. he's been out of the trials world a about ten years and when he pulled out and dusted down his trusty nolan helmet he found the foam mites had eaten away all the padding. anyway. he asked me what budget helmets are on the market as i have a fair bit of knowledge on trials gear out there. or so i thought. the budget helmet market seems to have exploded with so many new brands with their own trials based open faced helmets. having looked there does seem to be some models out there that look similar to each other. one in particular is the wulfsport one. its reasonably priced at approx £60. i know quite a…

Does anybody know where the cheapest place to buy these are? My local shop doesn't sell them. Cheers Chris

Anyone know where I can get a one piece?? Before the bondage comments start flowing in, I don't mind looking like a sex pest.

Can anyone please what the external dimensions are around on these helmets please? My son has a Wulf Sport in size XS and it's huge externally I've seen the Nau helmets and they 'seem' smaller than the Wulf lid. Thanks

Hi there, Where can I get some official sherco clothing and about how much would it be? Thanks.

Could anybody point me in the direction of a firm or individual that would refurb the interior of a crash helmet. Thanks

I have a pair of Beta trials pants, 2011 version I think, (refer to attached photograph) having the light blue colour rather than the later bark blue, and I am attempting to find a matching top. Is anybody aware of where I might locate such an item (preferably in XL size)? The local Beta agents (Australia) have not been able to assist as the top is now out of production. Second hand, in good condition, would be acceptable, although new would be preferable.

Hi Which is the best trials ventilated helmet under £100?need help as i have a very sweaty head! Cheers

Hi, Im looking for a bit thicker grips than the std trials grip size - any recommendations for this? (I'm aware that Mx and enduro grips are thicker but I'm looking for a more trials like grip but only thicker) Many thanks K.

I've seen someone in the background of a photo wearing a kind of low trials boot, that goes just above the ankle. I keep wearing out walking boots chasing after my lad and setting out trials. I find wearing my trials boots don't suit running. Does anyone know who does these low type of boots and how much they cost? Many thanks

Here in Iran our style of trials riding is more like enduro, the mountains we got here are huge, vertical with loose dirt, the cross riders go up much easier than we do, we tend to sink in the dirt and get stuck half way, so in my case is it a good idea to put moto cross tires in the back, for better climbing in loose sandy dirt? By the way, are we greatly reducing the life spam of our trials bike, by constantly maxing out the throttle, and doing enduro type riding?
