Trials Gear

Who makes the stiffest trials boots?

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

Hello all, I am looking for my first trials helmet, I ride a KTM Freeride E and don't want to use a full face helmet as I get way too hot riding the more technical stuff. My background is MX and Enduro so I find the Airoh Stelt/Aviator and Fox V3 fit me really well. Based on this, I ordered the Airoh Evergreen which feels awful compared to my Stelt and have sent it back. I have a narrow head but fit a size large 59-60cm so looking for suggestions for a trials lid that is well vented, light and suits my weird (narrow) head shape. Was thinking the Airoh TRR as it is well vented and light but open to other suggestions, one more question are any Trails lids certified …

Hi all, I have been looking for a pair of trousers to wear when riding, looking around at All big makes they all remind me of woman’s leggings! Can anyone recommend a looser fitting pair? I did think of motocross trousers but worry they wouldn’t have the stretch. Something about wearing skin tight trousers doesn’t apeal thanks

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 ???

I managed to do a comedy fall onto a boulder at walking pace. I was practicing alone and landed on the top of my right thigh. The entire length of the thigh swole up and it was difficult to walk, let alone ride. As a result I have lost a weeks riding time. What are your thoughts on impact gear? I was looking at some of the mtb, snowboarding and rugby stuff, as it appears a good compromise between protection and flexibility. Any comments, recomedations etc would be great. Thanks Gordon

Hi everyone hope you're having a great day. I'm purchasing some boots, but how do I tell what boots are trials boots? there are so many different types but I'm yet to find any which specifically say they are for trials. What is the main difference? Any help appreciated

Hi I am looking to get a good pair of trials boots that will last. I always struggle with boots as I am no "midget" and have quite large calves so getting boots that are comfy isn't easy. Does anyone have the same problem? If so brand of boots would you recommend?? Sorry to start another topic about boots!

Hi everyone, currently got a wulfsport helmet but it's batterd,have the new range of helmets got a removable lining? As one I've got hasn't. Cheers

Has anyone purchased and used one of the new Wulfsport Tri-Action helmets? I'm thinking of a new skid lid and this one looks good but I'd be interested in the opinion of any users. I shan't be buying without trying one on as a I know fit is a personal and important thing so no advice needed on checking fit etc, tec, thanks!

Hi, Just bought a new pair of Gaerne Balance boots in white from a shop in Stroud and got them to send them me by post. My question is,do these boots stretch or loosen as they bed in???? They are a little on the tight side,but i once made the mistake of buying a pair of Hebo's a while back that were a nice fit new,but once i had worn them a couple of times they were like a sloppy slipper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your experiences would be great........thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just thought I'd let everyone know about my latest purchase. I was in the market for a new helmet and after some hunting around I found these http://www.trialendurodirect.com/products/29_1/2011_GG_JITSIE_GAS_GAS_TRIALS_HELMETS__930.html Now yes they are the 2011 range, doesn't bother me in the slightest! And they have limited colours and sizes, but I like white anyway and they had my size so quite a result for the price I think. The service was also excellent, came very quick and emailed me at every stage of delivery. Hope this is of some use to somebody else.

I like to ride in the fall in winter seasons but have a mild form off artritis, so it is important for me to keep warm. Recently i've bought myself a pair off Kenny bagy trousers, i think it is called the Evasion model, and a Max equipe shirt, Wulffsport, over this i am using a Jitsie jacket. This combo is warm enough for the body as long as it stays dry, thats why impragnate it regularly with a fabric sealant. The problem is keeping my hands warm and dry and the feet warm, boots can be sealed with leather compound. Has anyone a tip for a pair off gloves that can be made waterproof and can keep the hands warm enough during a day off riding and waiting for a section? …

Does anyone wear knee guards is so what are the best type for trials? Every time I practice I give my shin or knee a good banging!

Hi, does anyone know if the Arai Penta fits the exact same as Arai Hyper T? I tried on a Large Hyper T and it was too small. Then I tried on a Large Penta at a later date, and it seemed to fit. This was on differnt days so I wasn't able to do a back to back comparison. I can't just go to shop and try on different ones, as these are not imported to the US anymore. I know the 2 helmets look to be the same. Anyway, as they have to be mail ordered I was trying to determine if they do in fact fit different. Thank you.

hi guys, just looking to get some kit for starting off, mainly boots and a helmet. as a mx rider i think the mx kit will not be suitable and want to get a proper helmet and boots. not wanting to spend a fortune on it does anyone have any recommendations for boots sub £100 or second hand size 8 and also a helmet around the same money? thanks
