Trials Gear

Just wanted to see if anyone is using Alipinestars Tech 3, 7 or 10 for trials use? they look light weight and flexible so how different are they compared to the Alpinestars No Stop boots? they sure as hell look a lot cooler! ;-)

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…

Evening all, does anybody have a clothing size guide for Beta’s range of paddock clothing? Ive spoken to Beta UK who couldn’t help and I haven’t managed to find anything online. I’d like to buy my lad a soft shell jacket but don’t want to guess the size as he’s only 10. If anybody has a size small or medium could you tell me the measurements? Thanks!

Hello I want to buy a pair of Sidi or Alpinestar boots. Who are the nearest stockists to Bristol? Thanks Tony

Anyone know where i can get a rear lower vent for an airoh trr trial helmet? Thanks

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've got a pair of Forma Boulder boots and just wondering what people do to clean them and maintain them, is any sort of wax needed ?

Got some of the new RYP gloves, and I like them! Like riding NAKED! For those who like THIN and next to nothing!!!! Good on the grips, yet thin and tactile, an spandex on the backs, so no protection there, but many do not need it. Cost less too, at $25, makes them right, what is that? 15 quid? I liked my XC, but! at a decent price, these things are near disposable for me, after a while!

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!

Hi all, I know there is a ton of threads about boots and I've read most of em, but still have some questions. Lots of people seem to like the gaerne oiled boots for their feel and comfort. Can someone comment on the amount of protection offered? Is there some internal ankle protection built in? Does not look like much. I'm also considering the forma. These look very similar. Can someone comment on the protection of the formas vs the gaerne? Also considering the alpinestars, the sidis, and the TCX. These seem to be a bit closer to the mx boots I'm used to. Coming from mx I'm thinking any of these are going to feel very light to me. Any feedback on the TCX boots? Lastl…

I see the new boots are coming out soon Anyone got anymore info

I'd like to understand the advantage and need for trials specific trousers/pants. Not trying to be smart or a wise guy here...I am really asking to learn. The trials pants seem really snug and tight to the legs and hips. I understand we don't want extra fabric for no reason, so a minimalist approach is best perhaps? Are most of the pants water and sweat resistant? Any info at all on the pros and cons of a specific trials pant appreciated. Seems a decent pair range from 80-170 USD. Worth it?

Hi All, looking for some suggestions/guidance on trials trousers, a mate of mine has been riding in various forms of trousers, work jeans/overalls etc for the last 6 months while he decides whether or not he likes our hobby/sport. He does and wants to purchase some more appropriate kit, the issue he is having is with the trousers. He is not the most normal shaped of chaps, a little broad in the beam and short legs!!!!! as he puts it i am not the right shape for an all in one lycra suit!! can anyone recommend some makes and types of trouser, something good on the skin (no hideous seams or bits to chaffe!) breathable, waterproof and good value (cost being the least i…

Just pulled my relatively new S3 pants out of the washer and the buckle was in pieces. Anybody know where to get replacement part? Closest I can find seems to be snowboard toe buckles.

Anyone now of a good helmet for a 2yr old? I obviously need something light for him. Was thinking about a full face mountain bike helmet. Does anyone know of a good quality lightweight full face? His safety is important so price isn't really an issue.

does anyone know where I can buy shiro trials helmets im looking to buy 5 of them in different sizes

Hi everyone just received pair of black sidi zero boots, any tips on keeping them black and shiny, I polish and dubbing my diadora's but seems this not an option for preserving the sidis

Hi I think there's a gap in the market for guys like me. I use my Motesa for trail riding. I've got the fuel tank seat. It's just brilliant, so good at laning in fact, I sold the Exc-f 350 I had because it wasn't getting used. Nothing wrong with the 350 of course, it's just there's 300% more fun to be had on the Mont. I love the protection from my MX helmet, but I wouldn't ride the Mont with it now I have a trials helmet. Issue is that now I use a trials helmet I'm kind of waiting for the 'big one' that rearranges my face! Speeds obviously higher than trials (Mont will happily push 50+mph ). Going back to the MX helmet just reminds me of how restrictive it is re…

I'm currently looking for some kids trials boots and all I seem to find is Wulfsport which look a bit chunky. Can anyone let me know what they're actually like for fitting and comfort please, or what other options there are?

There have been many reports of many different brands of boots wearing holes in the sides where the bike frame makes contact. Any ideas on things to Glue/sew or otherwise affix to the boot as a "wear patch" that can be periodically replaced. Instead of wearing a hole in the boot?
