Trials Gear

Hi, I have taken some pictures to show how shoe-goo had saved chewed soles on Gaerne Balance Oiled shoes. I'm really happy with the results.

Looking on new boots what's people's thoughts on the following. * 2018 GAERNE TRIALS BOOTS - CAMO * GAERNE BALANCE TRIALS BOOTS - OILED * GAERNE CLASSIC TRIALS BOOTS. Cheers all.

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?

I've just bought myself a Gopro to film my fails (and the odd good thing hopefully!) :-) I'd like to mount it on my helmet ideally but the peak of my helmet would be very much in the way of a helmet strap. My question is; what is the actual purpose of a peak on a trials helmet? I could simply remove it and it would make fitting the Gopro much easier. If the only purpose of a peak is to keep sunlight out of my eyes, I'm sure I'll manage just fine without it, especially here in the UK!! Anyone got anything to add about its purpose?

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.

Hi all, I'm looking to pick up some road legal goggles for trials/enduro helmets? Im sitting my bike test in a week and my instructor told me mine weren't road legal and wouldn't be allowed to use them in the test. what goggles to people use for trials/enduros that involve some road work? Like the Scottish 6 day? Thanks in advance.

Anyone use one? I've been wearing an old hebo lid for a few years and now it's time for a new one. I purchased an airoh trr which looked and felt amazing but only had it in my price range in a large. It Was a little big on me so sold it on and now ordered a jitsie kroko. Hopefully I won't be disappointed!

Any thoughts on these new O'Neal buckets? Rehash of other brands?... new design? Anyone know anything about them. Getting bored with my airoh & looking something different!!!

Hi all I'm looking for advise, total newbie who has bought a trials bike and would like some guidance on what trials trouser may be best. I'm looking for something robust and which will be comfortable? Thanks

Got a new pair of alpinestars boots They are like a sponge,seriously poor waterproofing any one else ?? Marty

Afternoon all. Anyone know if you have Gaerne boots re-soled? I've got a fairly young set that have got a hole in the sole. I seem to remember someone advertising re-soleing boots on eBay but can't find it anymore???

Hi Guys, buying a pair of trials boots Alpinestar no stop or forma boulder, not decided yet, i need a boot with serious arch support ! any advice, also as buying online wont be able to try on do you guys normally order exact size or a size bigger in trials boots ???

I've been wearing Gearne Balance Oiled Boot and have had a couple of crashed that have crushed my foot. The crash that started my foot pain ended with my toes to the dirt and heel to the sky and the bike falling on my heel and crushing my foot into the ground. I'm pretty sure I broke a bone or two in that incident. The other two were simple crush injuries with my foot laying along the ground and bike falling on the side of my foot. Do the Tech T's or any other Trials boot provide any more forefoot protection the Balance? I can't find anyone within a reasonable drive that stock them in Ohio. Thanks, Mark

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.

Anyone no where I can purchase Sherco trials Clothing best I can find is 2015 edition.

Hi all, I fitted a brand new apico lanyard switch to my mates bike this week and it has failed (stuck closed circuit) within the first ride today. After removing the switch from the bars to check the connections underneath it started working again... Has anyone known an issue like this before? Is it possible that the part from eBay is a fake? Any pointers greatly appreciated!

I've had a pair of SIDIs around six months, seriously impressed with their comfort but after only about four months the sole of both boots started separating from the front and one section broke away completely. Sent them back to Feridax who said that it was crash damage (can't remember the exact wording but words to that effect) and didn't constitute a warranty claim but they agreed to resole them for a fee and send them back. Ive used them about four times since their return and the EXACT same thing has started to happen on both boots again. Has anyone had similar experiences. Trials boots should be more robust than this, surely?!

I'm not really into the look of the trials jerseys on offer, the MX selection is much wider. MX jerseys seem to be cheaper as well. Without wanting to come over all fashion conscious (which I certainly am not), is there a difference between MX and Trials Jerseys? Is it just the fit? Cheers,

Anyone know what's happening with Raw Sports? Don't seem to be able to get trials jeans in common sizes anywhere....

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 ?
