I am unsure as to what clothes I should buy for my sherco. I really like the Jitsie Rail range, but dont know if to go colour coded with my bike. I like the Jitsie T1 Riding Jacket also but dont mind the Alpinestar RJ-5 Jacket either. For colour coding, I like the 2008 jitzie range but dislike the newer trick range, but I cant help but think I'd be riding round in old fashioned gear. Not like it matters but the other problem lies with where to find a set of 2008 clothing. Heres my choices so far, Would love people to recomend me others as this is all I've found that I like at the minute. Jizsie T1 Riding Jacket Jitzie Rear Jitzie Front Alpinestar RJ-5 Jacket Alpine…

Has anyone here bought Hebo baggy trousers and how do they compare to the usual lycra trousers ?. I cannot find any reviews on these trousers and my old Hebo lycra ones are just about worn out. I am 70 years old and not a sprightly rock hopper. Thanks for any info good or bad.

Is Jeroni Fajardo wearing the new 2016 nonstop !!! I say this every year, (the factory riders have had a different design for years) but it doesn't look like alpinestars will ever do a new nonstop for joe public :0( I think the current boot has been around since 2000 or there abouts, with one small change after Dougie broke his toes in a Btc round. Hope I'm wrong, as I really need a new pair very soon.

Hi Folks, i'm new to riding and just getting kitted up but i can't find trousers/pants in my size, most companies finish there sizing at 38" i have found one company going to 40" waist, i would like a 42". i am sure i am not the largest person to ride a trials bike, i know the wife says i should my be seen in Lycra but never the less i would like the right gear. Any advise of where to shop in the UK or online for world wide shopping? PS. I think some one needs to tell Hebo XXL is not 38" waist Cheers Paul

I'm new to trials. I need a new tube for my front wheel. On my enduro bikes, I run Heavy Duty. What do most folks run on trials bikes? my guess is that since everything on a trials bike is light, that folks don't use the heavier tubes. Is this right?

Got some new boots yesterday after months of riding around in shot boots, as they weren't cheap I'm obviously trying to prolong the life of them by as much as possible. Few questions for you! Best way to clean them? Fine brush and hosepipe alright? I guess I shouldnt use chemicals on them? Best way to dry insides without drying out the outer material? Aftercare - Dubbing all over, working as much into the stitching whilst still moist, yeah? Maybe best to do this before drying, then go over quickly after again? Donts; Guessing not to put them on or near the boiler or wood burner to dry? No chemicals? Dont leave mud on there when possible, our mud is peaty acidic cra…

Does anyone have any tips for removing the burnt on mud, and other debris from the engine, and getting it looking nice and silvery again. Cylinder has what looks like oily mud spots.....Baked on. Is there a product to put on it.....like cillit bang, or do I just paint it with high-temp silver. Don't want the mess of painting though. It's not a problem, but it does annoy me, looks tatty !

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?

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?

So trials pants appear to be sized using S, M, L, etc. I haven't a clue where I fit in the range, since it's (presumably) all relative. And since I cannot try anything on (there isn't a place that sells trials clothing within multiple hours of me) I need some help on what size to order. Height: 5'10" / 1.8 meters Weight: 140lbs / 10 stone / 63 kilos Any suggestions?

I've just bought some new Forma Boulder boots to replace my Alpinestars which have given up after five years. To be fair they have been soaked and dried very week with no further care. I am keen to get the boots to last and have gone black instead of white which look like crap after a few rides. The question is what product is best for the boot preparation, softening of leather and preserving etc. Ive heard that Neats foot oil is good but others ay its full of petroleum which is not good. Advice?

Hi guys, looking for some advice. Im new to riding and having a struggle with my boots. I have some Novogah boots which have a stiffening/protection strip running down the back, this ends just above my heel and during 2 hours riding yesterday I managed to chafe the skin off the backs of the ankles quite badly. Any solution? I was thinking about a piece of mudflap material or something but I would imagine I'd get some more sensible suggestions on here. Thanks in advance guys.

Hi all, Am thinking about getting a camera (gopro etc)and and getting some good advice. Was just wondering peoples views on here plus whats the best mount position? Bars will give the bike route view whilst helmet will get a good perspective on where the eyes track within the section?
