Borrow the wife's horse tack cleaning kit..... Belvoir spray cleaner, spray conditioner, and rub in a coat of their Leather Balsam. I usually wipe off the wet mud after riding and when I get to cleaning them, I take a stiff brush to get any dry mud off first.
-
On the original question.... If you are set on Gaernes, I'd go with the black, as the Balance Oiled still needs to be cleaned and treated regularly to stay water resistant.
On Gaernes in general..... I wore Gaerne Balance Oiled for a few years and just not supportive enough for my sore old feet. I'm with oni nou on this.... I might as well wear Birkestocks and socks, as Gaernes. I love their SG11 enduro boots though! I switched to Alpinestars and found them much more supportive and better protection. I bought a pair of Forma Boulders for a spare pair, and am very happy with them. They have a good price, are as supportive as the A-Stars, but with a little less padding. Thing I like the most, is that they are taller than the other boots.... Why do trials boots keep getting shorter? I wear the Forma Boulders most of the time and wear the A-Stars for spares now
-
I'll concur with stuff them with newspaper and change it a couple of times. Also have two pairs of boots, so you have a dry pair in reserve.
-
Give it a try. Scorpa doesn't feel cramped to me, but I'm short. They turn better than a Sherco. 300 Factory might be a little zippier than you want, so try a standard too, if you can.

Grattarola came down from TrialGP and is staying to defend his Championship. Green comes in as 125 Champ, but if Gandola's experience is a guide, it's going to be a learning year for Billy. Martyn and Marcelli's chance again to rise to the top for the Championship and I'm guessing for Fuji's spot on Team HRC, when he decides to retire.
-
How come Billy isn't riding Hixpania Hard Enduro with Grimbo?
-
Jitsie aftermarket petcock fixed the leak on my '18 125 Factory.

I bought the subscription last year and it was well worth it. There were some initial teething problems but was great and you could re-watch the events. Only thing I could fault promoter on was the cancelling a round, on what seemed like dodgy reasons?
-
I just watched the TdN highlights vid and didn't look like much stop and hop there.... Well now on to indoors and stop allowed....then everyone can decry, how the time limit has ruined indoors all winter!
-
You mentioned earlier the different countries and their take on No Stop.... Is the UK the most consistent in observing, as they are No Stop except for Super Trial and Sheffield Indoor?
-
Interesting that Italy allows small plates, but when Enduro GP round is there....it's the only round on the race schedule that requires standard full size motorcycle plate on competition bikes.
-
Bad crank seal on clutch side would be your most likely answer.
-
I have a friend who is maybe 5"8" and rides and competes his TY350 with the same bars.... I have no idea how he rides it, having taken a short ride on it?
-
Not sure on anything anymore, except if it takes Fajardo another 9 years to win a world round again.... it isn't happening! He definitely seems more comfortable outdoors, than he did indoors. Conversely Gelabert and Bincaz are definitely not showing their indoor form outdoors!
I hope he can back it up tomorrow. Busto is a little off the pace in Japan. It seems being an early starter in Japan was an advantage? We'll see what tomorrow brings and if Farjardo can keep it up at the next round in Andorra..... I'll be suitably impressed!

I hope Gary holds it together and gets the win!

I can't believe I got a 5 day ban for quoting your post on ADV Rider. Those old NETRA pics have been around forever and that particular one is pretty tame! I don't know what you got on that deal, but I figure a quote was worth a warning, not a ban. I'm done direct quoting anything on there! Be well and ride safe!
-
I was hoping GG would be lowering the price in the future, to make it available to more riders. I guess with people not flinching at the high price of the Alta electric MX bike, all the electric trials bikes are going to the high end?
-
I sweat a lot and safety glasses don't work for me, as they are closer to your face and fog up. I use Scott over the glasses goggles. I don't wear glasses, but they space the lenses further from my face.
-
It's only an endo.... If you flip over!

There is a "ONE" model of the TRS 125. You can see the differences.... carb, shock etc in the spec sheet. I'm guessing with the limited numbers of 125's sold, Jim Snell decided to just bring in the "RR" model this year.
-
Thank you for the offer! I don't think I'll make those this year. Are you going back next year to TTC for Trials Training Days? I'm planning on next year.
I forgot to add... Congratulations on the new bike and enjoy!
-
Plus one on both! S3 digit levers work best for my old arthritic hands!

I'm right in the same age range and and been riding trials for 2 years. I have owned newer Gas Gas and Scorpa 125's. The newest generation of 125's will do just about anything an aged Novice/Intermediate rider needs to do and I imagine the TRS 125 is right there with them. I had a Yamaha TY175 which is an awesome bike, but a new 125 is so much easier to ride and I sold the TY to concentrate on riding modern trials. I hope to get a ride on a TRS 125 sometime, but my local TRS dealer doesn't plan on having one this season. My '18 Scorpa 125 Factory is everything I want and need right now anyway! Go buy one, you won't regret it!
