  5. Hebo zone 4 is a great helmet for the money. Better quality than airoh.
  6. I tried a mitas rear tyre once and it wouldnt hold air for 1 full lap, also it wasnt very good on wet rocks. (compared to a michelin)..
  7. Galfer for me all day long ?
  8. if the tube is well stuck and the 'coat hanger'method does not shift it, put the fork cap on fully without the "conical" spacer and press down hard repeatedly until you feel it shift upto the cap. Worked well for me when trying to hook it out failed.?

    BOOTS!

    I got some stylmartin over christmas for a bargain but i was only looking because my forma boulders have split on the stiched outer seam in less than 12 months. Very happy with stylmartins far superior quality and protection,:also the liner has kept my feet dry with and even without sealskinz on so far. Only negative for me (at first try on) was they felt much stiffer and uncomfy around the ankle compared to forma which where very comfy from new and is possibly the only good thing about em ?
  12. Sandifords off road is just up the road from you in Burnley.
  13. Dont know about the tank covers but i fitted a 2014 rear mudguard to my old 2010 evo. Easy to fit....All you need to do is drill one hole at the front of the newer mudguard where the tab is.
  14. pressure test the cooling system and cap? ignore that sorry just re read your post
  15. Dont know where you are but Inch perfect trials n Lancs are holding a free open test day on the 26th of Jan.
  16. so are you saying the sherco is more crash friendly ?
  17. m6 bolt torque into aluminium is usually around 7-10 Nm depending on application. 8Nm is what i used in a star pattern. If you heat up the crankcase enough you will find the main bearings drop into the case and fully seat with no other force. when you have done this heat the bearing in the case and get it hot enough so you can put the frozen crank in the same way without force. Just make sure you have the conrod in the correct place! heat the other main bearing/ case just before you close up the halves and it should go together with no drama. Once you have them together with bolts in snug, tap either side of the crank with deadblow or hyde mallet etc until it turns freely then torque the bolts and check the crank rotates nice and free.

  18. Bearings/crank in the freezer, warm crankcase evenly with hot air gun. drop the bearings inti case make sure they are seated. warm the bearings/casings with hot air gun again and fit the crank and then the other casing. may need a small tap on either side of the crank when the casings come together and then recheck casing bolt torques. works for me everytime

    Cota 200

    did you not get the manual ? ?
  20. I use a decent pair of 90 degree external circlip pliers, just losen the top fork clamp then it should undo fine with these if it hasnt been overtightened.
  21. Welcome to the sport. Just go along to a local trial and enter on the day. There is a Lancs county mcc trial on sat 11 November. It will have an easy route with a beginer format of 2 laps instead of 4. More info on thier website. There is also Bolton mcc and Darwin mcc that have info on their websites. Hope you both enjoy.
