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…

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

Was thinking of treating myself to a new helmet, as my NZI carbon one is about 10 years old now, and the lining is beginning to fall out! I like the look of the NAU ones - anyone got any feedback on what these are like? Cheers!

Just wondering what boots others are happy with. I have Novogars which have worn through on the inside of the right boot in front of heel. (found this out stood in a stream yesterday) they are nearly 6 yrs old. I don't know if this is a common place for them to go?? I have found them a comfortable boot but may go for another make if I can find ones that are maybe stronger in that area. I will be going to BVM they seem to have a wide range . Any to steer clear of or any recommendations worth a look at. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I've swapped sides and binned the enduro bike for a gasser... Hurrah!! I hear you shout. The problem is I've now got a trials bike and a stack of enduro riding gear. I can make do with the boots for the mo' (though I have been advised that trials boots are like slippers in comparison) my query is helmets. I have been told (by our enduro sec) that Trials can be ridden with a "safety helmet" which isn't necessarly an ACU stamped lid. I have a MX lid, which is pants for looking down, I also have a Bell safety helmet which is basically an open faced lid with minimal padding... it'd normally be used for downhill mountian biking type stuff, I got it for roller blading…

Hi Having taken the plunge and got a couple of Oset bikes for the children, I would like to get them kitted out with at least the minimum for them to practice on, rather than cycle helmet & Wellies. One takes size 8 childrens shoes and has a 52cm head circ. The other takes size 9 childrens shoes, but has a 49cm head circ. Having looked on the internet it appears that there are only motorcross style helmets and boots available. Does anyone else have any ideas if I can get trials specific stuff. Many thanks Andy

I have lots of tools, not always the newest or finest as seems one does to be practicle about these things or you could easily drive yourself into bankrupcy! However, taking the average trials bike as example, there seems one thing that a proper trialsman simply cannot do without for a bit of kit, and that is a proper set of metric allen wrenches! Yes I have a few, lets see, the standard individual set, the compact folding set that goes into the pocket of the camelbak, then the nice long set with the ball ends on the long side that stay in the portable toolbox. Suppose I could add the ones that fit screwdrivers and the ones that fit drive sockets, yet those are less used…

Hi all. Any help would be great. I have a set of alpinestar boots from road riding & a brand new pair of sidi road boots which are what i call only 3\4 length. Although they have a good grip on the trials footrest & have good shin, ankle & toe support. But i am led to believe they are no good for trials type riding. When i ask at places like woosters etc they say trials boots are trials boots. But looking on e-bay & web in general they are mostly advertised as Trials, enduro, motorcross boots. Whats the differenc & basicaly what the H--L do i need to look for. HEEEEELP. Steve. LEEDS.
