Trials Gear

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 I have since realised the old lid is a bit out of date and doesnt comply with some of the ruleing here in South Aus.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?

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.

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?

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?

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

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

Does anyone here use a boot dryer? Which type is recommended? My research has found 2 basic types, with many variations: Heated inserts. Something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dual-Core-Shoe-Boot-Dryer-Electric-Warmer-Heater-Disinfectant-Dryer-Black-Yellow/123470431372?hash=item1cbf69448c:m:m9LtIC_3vRWyqVThh9RMuDg. This is the cheaper and lower power consumption solution (about 20w) but works at a higher temperature. These are generally shown with trainers in the photos. The wire sticking out the back of the heel may be more difficult down in the depths of trials boots. Blown air, like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Portable-Folding-Timing-Elec…

"Proper" trials clothing (shirt and trousers) is expensive but should be made for the job. So why does mud and chain grease not wash off easily? Does anyone have any cunning methods for keeping their riding gear looking good?

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.

I could do with a new crash helmet, I like the idea of the Shoei TR3 as I use Shoei on my road bikes and they've saved my life in the past. But 1050 grams sounds a little heavy for trials? The Hebo Zone 4 Carbon is listed as 950g, albeit that's got a carbon fibre shell. Anyway, what do you guys recommend? A removable / washable liner is going to be an important factor, I'm quite sweaty ?

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

I have been restoring a 1959 Triumph T20s Tiger Cub. The lower bottom parts of the forks are rusted too bad. Does anyone know where I could buy them or if another bike uses that part? PBill

What do I need to use on my oiled Gaerne boots to keep them happy? Boner

Could someone tell me how Gaerne boots measure up? I wear a size 46 shoe. Do I need to go up a boot size? Thanks.

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!

Has anyone tried the jitsie protective gear and what's it like to ride in ? Thanks in advance Mick

Hi guys, New to the sport and just looking around at bikes. A friend of a friend is selling a 2012 Beta EVO 250 in vgc with a few bits and pieces. £2200. It’s hardly been ridden and looks mint in the pics. Does this sound about right for a 6 year old bike? Any advice would be appreciated. Jamie.

i managed to put my kickstart through the upper part of my calf on sunday and figure some knee protection would be a good idea, but i cant tell from pics if any have much side protection or are just lycra socks to hold the caps on. cant anyone recommend anything that would offer a bit of protection on the sides, not so much impact more abrasion?

As the title suggests what wet/cold weather gear do people have/use/like? Especialy for Trials such as the 6day as the Scott. Currently I have a light weight Hebo jacket, a old soft shell jacket, standard farmers legging and seal skin socks. The sock are the only things I would total recommend for a wet/cold the other stuff does the job but not brilliant. Looking to get some fresh stuff so what do you suggest?

Ok guys how do you dry your boots? I ride every Sunday and try to get out for a blast mid week but my boots are always damp inside ?! Boots are hebo tech Comp! Thanks.
