Trials Gear

I’m needing some new trials pants. I tried on some mots, although the waist was fine, they assume my legs are like chop sticks. It felt like they were sprayed on my legs, like skinny jeans. can anyone recommend some makes of trials or enduro pants that are a bit baggier, more of a comfort fit for us who don’t have such an athletic figure?

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

Last week's printed edition of TMX. There's a rider (OK not trials) on the front cover and I did a double-take. Wonder if the editor noticed this before publication? Looks like the rider is covered in it anyway...

Hello, im getting back into the sport, and need a new helmet. When I did trials about 15 years ago I used a shoei tr trials helmet, and it was great, quality design vents that worked etc. Unfortunately I put it on the end of my handlebars when checking out a section, the bike fell off its stand and punched a neat handlebar sized hole through the shell. Anyway my budget wont stretch to another shoei, so ive been looking at the airohs.They look like kryten from red dwarf designed them, but you cant have everythiing I have a few questions for you. Are the liniings removable? I would hope so, but none of the ads really say. 2nd the vents,…

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. ?

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

Hi I’m a newbie and need help I’ve bought a gas gas 2012 txt 280 and it has these awful levers that move and flick out I get the idea it’s for if you drop it etc to save them but I don’t like them they’re on formula reservoirs and I can’t find replacements anywhere, i ordered some online and they said they would fit but they don’t can anyone help cheers Steve

looking for starter helmet for myself and found this , looks good with sun blend. Anybody used it? It's half the price of airoch or Jitsie.

Its time to replace my trials trousers, I did this last year with some Clice replacements, only for them to melt like a plastic bag brushing once on hot exhaust. Can anybody point me in the direction of a brand that might last, not too loud, or are they all made in the same Spanish factory with just different prints. I like the look of the Rialtto one's but I believe they are discontinued..

What are the pros and cons of fast and slow action throttles?

I'm wanting a helmet, I've telephoned Cambridgeshire Trials Centre, which is 1/2hr away from me he didn't know what he had in stock, he said he would ring me back & he never has, & he isn't open on a Saturday. What other options are there in the East of England? I want to go & try something on for size & fit, rather than buying blind on line. Thanks in advance, Martin.

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.

How do the Sidi trials boots compare size wise to other brands? Would I be correct in thinking they come up a little on the smaller side?

Hi, Possibly looking at getting some Hebo boots, but local shop does not hold stock. how do they come up size wise?? I'm an 8 1/2 shoe so would probably look at a 43 My old Sidi boots are an 8 and feel snug when I wear them now. Any experiences of sizing with Hebo?

My deadora stone 2 have just about had it So it’s time to get some new I’m thinking alpine star or sidi Iv been reading your views on the boots really fancyd the gearne but not sure if the sole would be too soft for me Iv got flat feet that are wide fitting I do like to have feel but it hurts my arches pretty quick any advice thanks

Tried a couple of helmets at XXL and they are not bigger enough, can't find any larger than this.... does anyone make bigger helmets ? measured at 64cm so at the top of most size charts for XXL

Cheaper than those piddly little cans of helmet mousse. Highly flammable! Illegal in many jurisdictions. Extremely effective. Yes I know you can buy cans of denatured alcohol much cheaper but they have acetone and methylated ketones and who knows what else to make them poisonous, well more poisonous, and I’m not sure how those additives affect the helmet materials. edit: turns out acetone is a solvent for polystyrene.

Hi guys and gals, Ive decided to get back into trials after a 5 year hiatus. I have since realised the old lid is a bit out of date and doesnt comply with some of the ruleing here in South Aus. Ive done a bit of research and I think I will swing with the airoh, unfortunalty there are no local trials shops in my area that stock airoh trials helmets and id much prefer not to be left buying blind.. However I use an airoh fullface helmet for motocross and I highly recommend it. I was wondering if anyone knows how close the sizing is between the airoh models?

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

Are there any shops in Essex to go and try on and purchase riding gear
