Trials Gear

All, Anyone know where I can purchase Orange Arrows for marking routes to sections etc. Thanks in advance

Need a helmet visor for a Tri Vent Graphics NZI. I was told they are no longer sold. Any idea where I might find one?

I managed to do a comedy fall onto a boulder at walking pace. I was practicing alone and landed on the top of my right thigh. The entire length of the thigh swole up and it was difficult to walk, let alone ride. As a result I have lost a weeks riding time. What are your thoughts on impact gear? I was looking at some of the mtb, snowboarding and rugby stuff, as it appears a good compromise between protection and flexibility. Any comments, recomedations etc would be great. Thanks Gordon

In every shoe i wear im a uk 11, i just recived my size 11 (uk) 12 (usa) boots and they are MASSIVE, i cant even touch the end of the boot with my toes and also my left foot can move around quite freely. Any one else had this problem? its so bad im not sure if i need to go down 2 sizes and not just 1!! Any idea? (i bought off the internet so cant just try smaller ones on as theres no shops around me!)

im after some trousers that arent tight fitting / lycra based... far to old and to many bumps lol,,, are these loose / ish fitting? cheers kev

I have a pair of exid gloves and they have ripped,but more importantly they were never that comfortable. Any ideas what to replace them with ?. I know you pay a premium for branded items but are there any unbranded that are comfortable,hard wearing and sensibly priced ? Ideally I would like to pay between

Just a word of warning, got a pair of askew trials boots less than a year ago and all the sticking has dissintergrated,and sone of the thin leather has torn, they are pretty much useless. It may be an isolated case but the old saying goes you get what you pay for.

I managed to drop my Airoh helmet from a shelf until a slate floor from about 1.5 metres high. At the time it was still in the cloth bag and I didn't think much about till tonight when I went out for a practice and found the damage to the top of the helmet I'm concerned that it may have damaged it more than I realise and was wondering what peoples opinions are on it? Should I replace it with a new one? Cheers.

Hi, Has anyone tried Vee rubber tyres? They seem like my kind of tyre (at

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.

Does anyone have any tips for removing the burnt on mud, and other debris from the engine, and getting it looking nice and silvery again. Cylinder has what looks like oily mud spots.....Baked on. Is there a product to put on it.....like cillit bang, or do I just paint it with high-temp silver. Don't want the mess of painting though. It's not a problem, but it does annoy me, looks tatty !

What rubber does everyone recomend on here?? Ive just worn out a michelin x11, it only lasted about 6 trials. Any long lasting rubbers?

After only my third trial I managed to snap the rear mudguard, so after taking advice, I got it repaired and then was stuck with a bit of a bodge and not sure what to do The repair was strong but the plastic was well past it's best So I invested

Anyone no of a place to get replacement buckles and soles for an older pair of Garene balance boot? These have the wire bail that attaches to the buckle. I'm in the U.S. Thanks!

I recently tried a Hebo lid, sized XL and was surprised to find it a reasonable fit. I usually wear medium, 58, in road lids. Is this the norm for trials lids?

hi, has anyone had the soles replaced on gaerne boots and can point me in the right direction for getting them done.

I am in the market for a new pair of boots and i have been looking at either Sidi Alpinestars Gearne whats the pros and cons of each boot and i have noticed there are two types of Gearne whats the difference jsp

Anyone got one of these? I'm going to invest in one for when I'm down in the woods for carrying a spare spark plug, tools,pump ect whilst also having a drink on tap (literally). Theyre cheap, light and look very useful http://www.millets.co.uk/rucksacks/hydrati...uct/091745.html

I am unsure as to what clothes I should buy for my sherco. I really like the Jitsie Rail range, but dont know if to go colour coded with my bike. I like the Jitsie T1 Riding Jacket also but dont mind the Alpinestar RJ-5 Jacket either. For colour coding, I like the 2008 jitzie range but dislike the newer trick range, but I cant help but think I'd be riding round in old fashioned gear. Not like it matters but the other problem lies with where to find a set of 2008 clothing. Heres my choices so far, Would love people to recomend me others as this is all I've found that I like at the minute. Jizsie T1 Riding Jacket Jitzie Rear Jitzie Front Alpinestar RJ-5 Jacket Alpine…

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
