Trials Gear

We've just had a Barbour catalogue delivered at home this morning. They have a number of new jacket styles names "Colley", "Colomer" and "Burgat".

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.

Hi all I am going to buy. Pair of the very highly rated non stop boots. As my sidi's are 9.5 uk I've an fit perfectly ,the non stop are 9 or 10, are they generous in size or small fir there size,are they tight on the calves ? Many thank David

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

Hello Guys Due to this awesome summer we are experiencing I feel a raincoat maybe needed... My needs: Lightweight Durable Doesn't Rip easily Comfortable Quite discreet (Black or Blue) Under say £60 Any recommendations? Doesnt have to be trials related however it will be used for a riding jacket, I went to GoOutdoors however I feel the gear is more desired to save weight than to be actually worn. I looked at the Alpinestar gear, it looks good however I have heard it falls to bits, like everything italian. Thanks in advance.

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?

anyone any experience with forma boulders? i fancy trying these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORMA-2011-BOULDER-TRIALS-QUAD-OFFROAD-BOOTS-BROWN-11-/360435043246?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Boots&hash=item53eb9a4bae

Any special "treatments" for a new pair of these? Someone suggested to get them soaking wet and then wear them around until they're dry. But I'm reluctant to do that to a pair of $310 boots. And any suggestions on maintenance, mink oil, neats foot, etc.? David

Does anyone know where I can get some montesa trousers and tops. Standard ones are fine, already know that banyeras does the factory repsol ones ( dont realy fancy looking like a works rider when I ride like I do). Any help would be appreciated (XL by the way)

Hi Can anyone recommend a glue that will repair my sons trials boots.... There are Gearnes and have ripped down the side, the plastic shin part has come away from the leather on the side, looks like it was once stiched... Is there any glue out there, that will get the job done, at present I am taping the boot up when he rides... Cheers...

Hi all I have a pair of hebo Eco boots in brown pu suede leather look. What is the best way to clean them as they tend to show mud still after washing with water and sponge. Been told to use a steamer to clean then leave to dry? Is this any good?

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

hi all i have a jitsie bolt kit in white however time has taken its toll and it looks grubby with a few small rips, i have been looking at the radikal gear but was just wondering is it loose fit like the bolt? thanks

Hi Guys I have got a pair of white hebo boots but have just read some of the bad press about them on here. out of the fallowing list which are best might go back and change them:- Wulf sport La Forma Boulder xc-ting

Hi everyone can you advise what are decent trail boots as my steel toe capped wellies have more holes that a Swiss cheese! Just starting back after 20 years off and the amount of boots out there is frightening! I will be using these for local club trails and a lot of practice; do you only get what you pay for? Is it better taking my hard earned to a show? Thanks

Hi Guys, I am looking at getting myself a new set of trousers and was wondering what people think of the Jitsie Bolt trousers, The main reason I ask is that I am not really wanting to pay £100+ for trousers and I have seen the 2011 Gas Gas Jitsie Bolt trousers at a reduced price with one of the retailers at £70. Thanks Adam
