Trials Gear

How should a trials helmet fit on your forehead? I’ve only been used to road full face lids, and my new Jitsie feels like it’s sitting rather high up on my forehead! Is this a thing? Cheers Boner.

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

Hi Guys, I bought my first pair of trials boots ! Forma Boulder, after looking at some posts on site ! love the boots and they are the correct size, but very constrictive ! do they just need wearing in ! and are all trials boots tight to begin with ???

Serious question........ whats the best way to keep the inside of your helmet clean? Is there any products to keep it fresh.

Does MX trousers and jerseys differ much from trails equivalents. MX gear seems better value and more options.

Need a new hemet but not sure which to go for, not got a massive budget (up to

i bought today some jitsie knee and shin guards , does anyone else use similar things to stop basing your knees on rocks ?

Thinking about a new set of boots. Gaerne Balance Oiled or Gaerne Balance Black? About £60 difference. Any preferences or experience? Thanks

What is the best boots in the market ??

im new to the sport and got my first trial coming up soon. at the moment I don't own a pair of trials or any other type of motorcycle boot. I asked the club chairman if a pair of hiking type ankle high boots would be ok and he quoted me this from the acu rule book, TSR.12 clothing must cover legs and body and it is recommended that arms should be covered.boots of approximately knee length made of leather, rubber or plastic must be worn. does this mean I will get away with my work wellies (neoprene and rubber) until I get round to buying a proper pair of boots ? thanks in advance

I'm going to do the IOW two day next weekend, and I've signed up to do the road route. I have an Airoh TTR helmet currently, which doesn't have a slide out visor. I'm considering picking up a Hebo Zone 5 for £85 to use when I do more road work as it has the visor integrated. Do most people just use MX/Enduro goggles (I have plenty of them already)? Seems like a right PITA to me...

Hello, i am looking for good footrests that are strong and open so no mud stays in, wanted the titanium raptors but no longer for sale what could be a good 2nd choise ? kind regards bob

Hey folks! Has anyone ever heard of Stupidgreg.com..... ? I just bought another trials bike after a few years away from the sport and was looking for good prices on gear and apparel and found this site. Like I stated, it seems to good to be true..... They do not accept Pay Pal like most places in the USA and I can't seem to find anything on the net about them as a company. Anyone, unfortunately, get burned by them? Thanks

Hi guys, ill soon be ordering a pair of specific trials boots, and i want to know your opinion... Im in the market for the boot with maximum FEEL and CONTROL when riding.. Been staring at the SIDI Trial Zero and Astars No Stop as main options... Opinions, Comparission on both.... I mentioned this two for their killer looks and recognised brand, but if you have any others suggestions im here to learn and your advice is welcome..

so, after a long stretch, I'm getting a TY together for next spring. I have never had proper gear. Always a cobbled together bike, used helmets and second-hand MX boots. This time around, I have a little more $ to work with, a solid machine, and the time to haul it to more events. My first hitch, is what to do about boots. I have never seen a pair of trials-specific boots in any shop. What about them is better suited to the sport. Less armor, I'm guessing, softer? I've been looking at the Gaerne oiled boots, and wonder about the big gum soles. Are they rigid enough to keep the pegs from digging into your arch? are the tops soft? do they make shifting difficult?…

It's time to throw my 15 year old gaerne boots out ... it's been a long time, any recommendations on good quality / reasonable price ? Thanks ?

Hi one and all, can any one recommend a trials helmet for some one that gets a sweat rash every time he wears it for more than an hour,at the moment he wears a Hebo ECE22-05

Looking to buy a waterproof jacket. Just wondering what others have found effective but also comfortable to ride in. Cheers.

Man it's cold up in them hills..... My regular riding gloves are nice and thin for a good feel on clutch break and throttle, but...... They're c c c cold!!! Can anyone recommend something a little thicker or better suited to this weather...... But not to thick so's I can't feel things? My right hands got a few hinges instead of knuckles after a decent road bike crash so I feel the cold like bloody tooth ache in me bones.....

Hi All, my Gaerne Balance "waterproof" boots are now letting in water. They are about 18mths old and I've treated them with Gaerne polish after every event but I think the issue is the folding membrane possibly at its base where the fold tucks are really tight. Anyone know if this membrane can be repaired or replaced? Ian E 06 Montesa 4RT 81 Ossa Gripper 350
