Trials Gear

I am considering buying new trials boots. About a year ago I bought new garne boots however they are uncomfortable. I have extra high arch and pretty wide feet. my question is : which boot would be the most comfortable , is there a certain women’s brand or does it not matter. I was considering hebo

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. ?

I'm looking to buy a MOTS stone 4 jacket but need some advice on sizing. The size guide on the MOTS website is clearly wrong as the measurements make no sense at all. I am guessing I am between a M and L. Does anyone have one that could advise on fitting? Your height/build etc and size you wear. Thanks

Are any knee guards/ pads available that provide good side protection for knees, both inside and outside? I have a bad habit of hitting both of those areas. EVS Option was the best I could find that wrapped a bit around the inside and outside but I'm limping around today from a hit to the inside of my knee when falling down in a rock pile. Any input or recommendations would be helpful I have seen some that look like socks with foam but they don't look to have any kind of hard plastic shell. How do they survive sharp rocks? Are they hot. Summers are quite warm here but protection can be more important. I have seen others that have good coverage but have piv…

Just putting this out there. I have one of the Ritratto fleece material jerseys that were the official Beta items. It's great for cooler weather. Is there anything similar made by any of the manufacturers. All they talk about in their ads is breathable polyester. Personally if I could find a stock of these old Beta jerseys I'd snap 'em up.

Having chunky biceps has put me in a bit of a head spin as to what's best and sizing. I have searched the posts on here going back as far as 2014 trying to find a pair that'll fit the bill. My biceps are 35.5cm relaxed, and that's measured 5cm up from my inner elbow. Who makes elbow guards that fit the bigger arms? I've heard many good reports about Jitsie elbow guards, but fear they won't stretch enough for my biceps or forearm. Their sizing chart rates them stretched at what my arms are relaxed. As I don't live anywhere near a dealer I could try them on, even after lockdown has ended. My only option is to buy online. I would really appreciate some advice on sizing from …

Hi all fancy getting a airoh whats the difference between the models like the wintage and the convert and breaker just after some thoughts before the shops open thanks

Is the HT2 carbon out of production now. Can’t find it anywhere and the web pages are giving me the ‘ol 404.

My 16 year old Hebo boots are pretty much toast. I traditionally wore Sidis for MX and Enduro, so thought I might try the Zero 2. Actual user reviews are non-existent. Can anyone weigh in? How do they compare to other boots you've owned? I normally wear 43's, but my Hebo's are 42's. I prefer a tight fit for trials... how is the Sidi sizing? Any issues? Thanks, Ward

The sole on my Gaerne Balance oiled boots have now worn flat. Has anyone any experience of resoling, using these soles? Pair Soles Boots Trial Gaerne Balance | eBay Thanks

I have a new Hebo trials helmet zone 4 in white size M 57-58 if anyone is looking for a bargin been on my head for 45 minutes and found it’s to tight Any takers

The only good thing about winter is: when the temperature drop below 20 f, I take all my trial gear outside for 4 to 6 hours. I always dry, clean and desinfect all clothing, helmet etc. after every ride but noting kill bacteria like the cold treatment Guy

Garne boots are a good fit for me but they do not offer a lot of protection. Once aged a bit, they feel like bedroom slippers so I want something with more protection. I have been using MSR dual sport boots but they are obsolete. I just ordered some Alpinestars but when I tried them on, they are too narrow in the ball/ toe area and skinny in the calf area. Reviews suggest that SIDI is also small in the toe area. Is there another brand that is wide in the front, has plenty of room in the calf and offers better protection. How is the fit with Forma? One article reviewing trials boots even recommend these as trials boots. Has anyone tried them? htt…

I have a Hebo zone 5 helmet, it has a tinted visor fitted. I have just bought a clear visor from Trials UK , I asked how to change the visor and I was told to just remove the liner which I did and I still cannot see how to remove it, can anybody help please ????? Contacted Hebo in Spain for the information ( had to do it in Spanish) Regards Barry

Does anyone have a full carbon helmet and would be kind to measure the weight?? I m looking for the lightest full carbon Trials helmet for a patient of mine that just underwent neck surgery and is a newbie in trials!! any advice is greatly appreciated . In the bicycle world manufactures are very proud of their products and specs and weights are always listed. Obviously not in trials? Thanks all

Hi, I’ve just bought a pair of boots and they’re like a brown suede effect with leather on other parts of the boot. My question is, if you have similar, what do you use to waterproof them? I’m a newbie, so any advice would be appreciated. Cheers

Hi. I have some old Sidi Zeros in very good condition, the problem is I am missing 4 of the straps which are different to the newer ones. Apparently they are now obsolete, so was wondering if anyone has some spares or a lead to some. Ive put up a picture to show the difference between old on the right and new type on the left. Thanks in advance Steve

What are the coldest and least waterproof boots? I love my Forma Boulders enough to have two pairs, but holy hell they get hot! Is there anything on the market that's reasonably priced and has big holes in it? I might ask a shoe repair place to add some holes to my rough pair or something

hello again, when I lat did trials, about 15 years ago, I used some alpinestars gore tex socks, which worked great in keeping my feet dry, even after trudging my way thru streams . my boots would be soaked thru, but the goretex socks would keep my feet dry. they were great, but would eventually leak when the membrane got damaged, or just through use. mine lasted a couple of years tho, so I cant complain (but I will) Im struggling to find them now, they must have stopped making them. I see sealskinz socks are still about bit havnt used them. they are meant to be water proof. Anyone use them, and are they actually completely waterproof? If I was wearing them…

Can anyone recommed a reasonably priced (
