Trials Gear

Hi all, has anyone tried these new boots from Forma, they retail for

Hi Guys, Anyone got any good suggestions for protection gear? Looking to get some elbow pads and maybe a back protector, rather than the whole vest which is uncomfortable to wear while trialing, is hard shell elbow pads better protecton then soft shell, has anyone used these? cheers Colin

Hey to all, looking at buying my first pair of trilas specific boots. It appears from my reading that the most popular boots are the Gearne but I can buy Alpinestar No-Stop through my parts dealer here at the repair shop. I'm being tight maybe but a dollar is a dollar. Are the Gearne's worth the extra $$? Thanks in advance

Hey Guys Time for new boots before the winter starts to set in. I have seen the TCX Terrain boots advertised on a few sites but are they any good??? I have been using Alpinestars for the past few years and they have been great. So I am curious to see how these compare? Thanks for the input guys.

I've been looking for one with no luck ... Do they still make them ? Glenn

has anyone tried having their boots resoled . boots are ok but soles worn out. They would need stitching and glueing at a cobblers if replacement sole are available . This must be cheeper than new ones.

Hi guys Does anyone make low profile knee/shin guards that will work well for trials. I dont mind bleeding, my pops does Cheers

I’m after some advice please. Im looking for a new pair of boots, the tech T’s look great. My Gaerne balance are an 8 but quite snug, hence the reason for a new pair. Could of actually worn an 8.5/9. Does anyone know what the sizing is like on the Tech T’s? Thanks

Hi guys looking to get my first pair of boots , can anyone recommend a pair ? Don't mind paying as I hate cheap uncomfortable things on my feet . Cheers

Just seen these new helmets ..... Apico Torx Helmets .... Has anyone got one, are there fairly lightweight? I used a Airoh rock at the moment but I am looking for a change and these seem a good price, just havent seen one in the flesh? Cheers Smudger

As the weather has been 20+ degrees Celsius and I have a trial tomorrow what's the best way to keep cool whilst riding?

Does anyone know how the sizes come up on the Gaerne boots? with Sidis (at least with the road boots) you have to buy a size up as they are stupidly small. But not sure with these if they come up small or large compared to other boots?

Has anybody tried them? Whats the verdict.

I know this is not strictly gear but i could not find a forum for stands! I,m looking to buy a workshop type stand a was wondering what everyone else uses or recomends, i have been looking at the Apico fixed stands and the o nes with a handle to lift the bike up higher to work on. How do you get the bike on the Apico ones as they look very high? Many thanks Andy.

Does anyone here use a boot dryer? Which type is recommended? My research has found 2 basic types, with many variations: Heated inserts. Something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dual-Core-Shoe-Boot-Dryer-Electric-Warmer-Heater-Disinfectant-Dryer-Black-Yellow/123470431372?hash=item1cbf69448c:m:m9LtIC_3vRWyqVThh9RMuDg. This is the cheaper and lower power consumption solution (about 20w) but works at a higher temperature. These are generally shown with trainers in the photos. The wire sticking out the back of the heel may be more difficult down in the depths of trials boots. Blown air, like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Portable-Folding-Timing-Elec…

as per title - my wife wants me to get some trials pants but not for

Hi all, I have recently bought some white alpinestars no stop trials boots. I ride a lot in streams and muddy conditions, at the moment I just wash off the boots with warm water and some cream cleaner at home. Not sure if this is good for longevity. I just wanted to ask how people look after their boots, do you guys use oil or saddle soap? Or just soapy water? Ta, Heather

Hi all, I have been the owner of a set of Hebo Tech Evo 2 trials boots now for just over six months. However in this short amount of time i have had any problems with them. Within at least six weeks of buying the boots the bottom buckle had came unscrewed ad fallen off leaving me with out the whole bottom strap. My other problem is all the outside layer which i presume is leather is breaking up into scale like bits giving the boots a horrible appearance. I am not sure why this has happened as i have taken good care of the boots and washed them after every use and kept them in my room away from the elements. I have one slight problem which is i brought the boots from…
