Trials Gear

I'm just starting out, have some some old Novogar trail boots (sort of MX boots with a trials type flat sole). They're pretty stiff, will they be any good or will I need specific trials boots to get going? Ta.

Hi all I'm new to all this. I have a tight budget after rebuilding my Yamaha Ty mono. I am after a new pair of boots. I don't want to waste my money on something that will fall to bits after a few Trials. My Question is are the Hebo Eko Evo range of trial boots any good.

Hi guys I'm new to trials, and wondering about safety gear.. Boots are number 1 priority for me. Used to ride MX bike and broke my ankle in couple places. After long time thinking decided to go for trial bike- looks safer.. I checked so many reviews for trial boots, but most of them state how flexible and comfortable they are.. Almost bought SIDI trial boots, but when I checked them in store, ankle area didn't look very supportive, looked so so flexible compare to mx boots. Maybe you can give me an advice from practice what boots give a bit more support for ankle? Or are they pretty much the same and every trial boot is so flexible? Also, what disadvantage …

Its time to replace my trials trousers, I did this last year with some Clice replacements, only for them to melt like a plastic bag brushing once on hot exhaust. Can anybody point me in the direction of a brand that might last, not too loud, or are they all made in the same Spanish factory with just different prints. I like the look of the Rialtto one's but I believe they are discontinued..

Anybody any views on these boots? They look good value and i am on a tight budget (

Just about to order some Gaerne Balance Classic boots and just noticed that some websites recommend going up a size due to the inner waterproof liner, is that the case? I'm usually a UK9/euro43 so which should I order? UK 9 - Euro 43 UK 9.5 - Euro 44 UK 10 - Euro 45 Thanks

Afternoon all. Anyone know if you have Gaerne boots re-soled? I've got a fairly young set that have got a hole in the sole. I seem to remember someone advertising re-soleing boots on eBay but can't find it anymore???

In the process of changing my old boots. Anybody have any advice/ preferences? Currently thinking about alpinestars or gearne (probably the gor-tex). Would love to hear peoples views before I purchase what is one of the most expensive bits of kit to buy. ?

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…

Managed to launch myself over the handlebars on Sunday and landed on my napper. I felt my head hit a rock pretty hard but it wasnt until I took my helmet off and saw the damage that I realised how hard the impact was. Out come - one knackered brand new helmet but it did its job as I sustained no injury other than aching neck muscles. Money very well spent and replacement Jitsie ordered!

what kinda helmet lid do you wear? any good recommendation? I used to wear hjc and masei helmet

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

Is Jeroni Fajardo wearing the new 2016 nonstop !!! I say this every year, (the factory riders have had a different design for years) but it doesn't look like alpinestars will ever do a new nonstop for joe public :0( I think the current boot has been around since 2000 or there abouts, with one small change after Dougie broke his toes in a Btc round. Hope I'm wrong, as I really need a new pair very soon.

I've just bought myself a Gopro to film my fails (and the odd good thing hopefully!) :-) I'd like to mount it on my helmet ideally but the peak of my helmet would be very much in the way of a helmet strap. My question is; what is the actual purpose of a peak on a trials helmet? I could simply remove it and it would make fitting the Gopro much easier. If the only purpose of a peak is to keep sunlight out of my eyes, I'm sure I'll manage just fine without it, especially here in the UK!! Anyone got anything to add about its purpose?

Does anyone know where i can buy replacement soles for Sidi trails boots in the uk ? jsp

After many months waiting for the release of the new alpinestars trials boots I finally got a pair I'm now very dissapionted After only two rides ( second trial in stream section)they've started to go funny on the side and the white leather effect is bubbling up on the side , looking like it's gonna peel off After nearly a week of contacting all the relative parties no solution or exchange is forth coming Not good for two ride old boots Funnily enough the stylmartin boots I purchased while waiting for the alpinestars have held up far better and been subject too all conditions I've heard rumours that there's been issues with the new boots but not confirmed yet

Hi, I am looking for a pair of trials pants for upto about

Hello, Please help! I'm on the hunt for trials boots but I have a problem, I have very short legs but large calves Shoe size is UK4 (Euro 37)& from the bottom of my heel to the back of my knee is only 15.5" and my calves are 14.5" I measure a whopping 5 foot tall and weigh just over 8 stone so I admit I'm a bit of an odd shape Are there ANY boots out there that might fit?! Any help would be very much apprciated. Dame Dabaphobic

I was reading on here the other day about trials boots and which ones are the best. It got me thinking that I should go out and have a look at mine and give them the once over. Got in the garage, scrapped all the mud off, give em a pressure wash, actually used some dubbin I found under the sink and low and behold, they have come up looking like new. Not bad since I bought them in July 1998 and only ever bang the mud off them.

Currently got an Airoh, and looking to change it...any opinions on what is the best trials helmet to buy? Cheers. Alex.
