Trials Gear

I'm going to take the plunge into the world of trial riding soon and whilst I have plenty of off road gear I have nothing specific for trials. I've searched on here and also been googling but so far drawn a blank. I know I could go mail order but the main things I'm after are boots and helmet and I really would like to try them on before buying. So any links, contacts for clothing shops in East Anglia would be most appreciated. Thanks very much.

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

hey everyone im looking around for some clothing and boots just wondered if anyone could help me with a good site to have a look at?? any help would be great also if im a size 11 what size boot should i go for? cheers

Hey guys im wondering if anyone knows of any websites and or companies who sell the XC-Ting brand clothing products. Im very interested in buying some gear from them but i have had no luck in finding a supplier with the gear im looking for. Can any one suggest something?

Just wondering if these trials helmets are any good ? Thanks, Raz

Recently i have brought my trials gear off of wulf sport i was expeting to get some cheap rubbish off of them asthe prices were cheap but i must say that the products are of amazing quality better than Jitzie or Hebo and also the products that they sell are dirt cheap. I thought i would share this with the fourm as i am very very pleased with the products that they sale. http://www.mad4motox.com/

Hi, Just bought a new pair of Gaerne Balance boots in white from a shop in Stroud and got them to send them me by post. My question is,do these boots stretch or loosen as they bed in???? They are a little on the tight side,but i once made the mistake of buying a pair of Hebo's a while back that were a nice fit new,but once i had worn them a couple of times they were like a sloppy slipper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your experiences would be great........thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I am just getting back into trials, I have got a helmet that meets the ECER22-05 standard, I believe this is ACU approved, can anyone confirm this is the case or does anyone else ride with one of these helmets? Thanks

Ok I'm new to the whole trials world. I need to get a pair of boots since I will be competing in the near future. I have no way to try on a trials boot before I buy them. Should I try like a motocross boot or an enduro boot to get a general size? I want to get alpine stars if that makes a difference.

Any recomendations? Preferably under

Winter is closing in. Have been tempted to get a better pair of goggles. Wanting to look after this pair. How do you carry them when thier not on your face. Round the neck is a pain, Pocket contents will scratch them, No rucksack. Top of the helmet? How do you manage?

Looking for some winter gloves came across these ,the right price and look quality. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/sealskinz-performance-windproof-glove/ well worth a look.

What is the best boots in the market ??

Does anyone wear knee guards is so what are the best type for trials? Every time I practice I give my shin or knee a good banging!

does anyone know of a good alternative to use other than the gaerne boot paste on the oiled boots. I just got a new pair and forgot to get any gaerne paste. Could i use mink oil?

Is there such a thing or would I have to get kids boots size 3/4

I have a road racing ACU licence, and with this i get discount at many many shops and companies, with Arai selling helmets with an official ACU discount at something like 40% off which is brilliant. Does anyone know if this translates to the trials world??? I'm in need of boots and a lid when i get a bike, hopefully within the week. I've got to wear ACL knee braces so will be getting some mx pants to fit them under, and have gloves, but still, if i could save some dosh... Thanks Bongo

Saw these on some of the riders at Exeter, RI this year and I'd like to check out these trials boots but I cannot seem to find the manufacturer. Wondering if anyone out there can identify them for me. Make and/or who sells them. Thanks

All, I wanted to ask what boots provide the best shin protection, I had a serious leg injury a few years ago and need boots that offer the best shin protection.
