Trials Gear

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

Cheaper than those piddly little cans of helmet mousse. Highly flammable! Illegal in many jurisdictions. Extremely effective. Yes I know you can buy cans of denatured alcohol much cheaper but they have acetone and methylated ketones and who knows what else to make them poisonous, well more poisonous, and I’m not sure how those additives affect the helmet materials. edit: turns out acetone is a solvent for polystyrene.

I have wide feet. Which brands have wide widths? Also, do all trials boots have steel(or whatever?) shanks in the sole? Thanks Much for any info. Retro

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

Hi all, I need advice after last Sundays diabolical rain. We use Staceys Observer cards & you probably know how useless they are to write on in biro [or pencil] when they are damp & they are worse when wet. The Results team then has to interpret the card when it's dried out - next day Does anyone have a cost effective foolproof system that you can give to your Observers & know: 1 They can record the Lap, Rider Number & Marks lost easily from start to finish, when they are out for 4 hours in clouds & pouring rain. 2 It must cater for Multilap Trials - 3 or 4 laps of 20 or 15 Sections at most, & more likely 2 or 3 laps of 20 or 15 Sections 2 …

Anybody have solutions for fixing a sole that is wearing through from footpeg pressure? Would rather fix than buy new boots if possible. Resole? Shoe Goo? Flex Seal? Cheers

Just seeing what everybody uses for jacket whilst riding, I’m looking at the jitsie glow jacket at the moment, sounds like a good jacket windproof, waterproof, also has a hood so use whilst out and about. Just after some advice. It’s not the cheapest but only the same as a walking jacket big brands.

Tried on a pair of these today and was pretty impressed with the fit and quality. However, being lined they feel like I would sweat like a turkish wrestler in a sauna wearing them in anything approaching a warm day..... Anyone had any experience of them and would care to comment? Thanks.

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

I'm looking at replacing my helmet which at the moment is a Airoh trr Dapper, i have been looking at other helmets (yet to try any on) I like the look of the jitsie HT2 data. My concern is as there is a £100 price difference am I getting a lot better helmet with the Airoh? what are peoples views on the jitsie helmets or any of the other makes out there. Any help or advice would be very helpful.

Hi guy's, i rode trials for a few years when i was 12, i'm now 21! I've done quite well at biketrials but I'd really like to get back onto a bike with an engine, just for the enjoyment of it really. When i rode hebo was the kit i always used and it always held up well and was a nice fit. I noticed a few newer brands such as Jitsie which i quite like the look of, how does it compare and what brands tend to be the best now days? I was thinking of going for a ful jitsie kit and possibly helmet providing the fit is good along with a decent brand of boots. Any suggestions welcomed. Hugh

Hi, I have taken some pictures to show how shoe-goo had saved chewed soles on Gaerne Balance Oiled shoes. I'm really happy with the results.

What do you eat during a trial?I am looking for advice on what to eat during a trial.Pies and buns don't seem to work.At present its a Mars bar or a couple of bananas and plenty of water,then the same again when I fuel up the bike.I'm getting on a bit (40 something) and yesterday got cramp just as I finished a climb through a steep rocky section and bailed out just after the ends cards(someone told me it was because lack of salt?). I've heard that oat bars/jelly sweets are good for you as is peanut butter, what works for you? cheers the noo Brian

After a new cheap trails helmet as old one taken a few knocks seen a few about but with not alot of ventilation can someone point me in the direction after a deal seen the spada trials helmet for a good price and look better than my current one

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

Hi , I'm struggling to find a helmet to fit, anyone know the biggest size available? Or a make that is generously sized ? I tried a wulf XXL but it's to tight across the forehead . Cheers from a fat head 😊

I've recently bought a pair and would like to look after them. Do they need re-oiling after being washed? I've had a google around but can't find anything on how to look after them.

I've just got some Gaerne balance natural oiled boots and some duckswax to treat them with. But how often do you need to apply the wax? After every ride? And do they need treating from new?

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.

Are they bigger than normal ,,Are they worth it ,Are they a confidence thing if bigger cheers colin
