F-Stop Junkie Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 To help bring riders together in the name of trials, these bands have been created so everyone can show their support. It doesn't matter if you're comp, street, UCI, BIU, mod or stock. These bands will show you're into trials. Note these bands also show NO company branding. They're only marked as BikeTrials because they're purely for support of the sport. Updated 18th October: There's been a re-think, and as of now, the wristbands are £2 each, with all proceeds to be donated to BikeTrial UK. The 'Send a Stamped Addressed Envelope' system still applies though, in order to keep the wristbands seperate from TartyBikes. We are simply acting as an easily accessible outlet for the wristbands. Further details of how to use the SAE system are on our website. As previously, these are NOT a freebie to be given away with orders - I hope that is now clear. Any SAEs postmarked 18th October (or earlier) will still have the wristbands supplied free of charge. Thanks, Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Sorry for the first negative post, but i can't really see the point in 'biketrials' wristbands. They don't really achive anything. I can understand buying a DJ one, for two reasons. But as for these i just think the money could have been spent on something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-Stop Junkie Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Surely the point of these bands is that it brings riders together, and crosses boundaries of types of riding. Trials sometimes seems like there are UCI riders, BIU riders, street riders, 20" riders, 26" riders, 24" riders... We're all just riders at the end of the day so why not come together and realise that. You give two reasons for a DJ one. I can understand for rememberance, but what's the other? If they're free though, you can't really loose with these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 This can only be good , despite being an initiative of a specific retailer it's still a promotion of the sport of observed trials in general . I'll do my bit by being the only one in Holland to wear one , largely 'cause I'm the only damned rider out here . Besides , the blue will suit my bike perfectly .

TomN Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Plus if you're in the streets shopping or what ever and you see a person with these wristbands you can go up and say hello :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I think wristbands are just a fad full stop. Just another example of people copying somebody elses idea. How many people wearing yellow Livestrong bands even know who Lance Armstrong is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 So you have to know the person before you can wear the band? Really it's mainly about supporting the charity/interest these bands represents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
