its worth investing in a proper bike bead breaker.
can get them new for about £30 odd and second hand at usual places.
have had one for 20 odd years and it makes life so much easier
i nearly nacked my brake disk belting f**ck out of a wheel before i had the breaker
these ones are pretty good.. http://www.trialsuk.co.uk/products/static-alloy-bike-stand
hole on top for draining sump.
do a search for best price...have seen them for £30 but cant remember the site.
hi
looking to get another bike and am looking at 2003 montesa 315r or 2008 beta rev 3 200/250.
are they comparable bikes and as good as each other for general trials use / mucking around
i have heard the montesa may be more durable than the beta??
hi
what is the difference between the tl 200 and the "reflex"200...is the latter the tlr version?
a mate had one years ago and i was looking to pic one up, but i think it was just a tl 200
what is the best of the two versions, what should i pay for one in reasonable condition and is it any better than the yamaha ty 175 which i also fancy???
hi
i am looking at a 1980 ty175.... been told it runs ok but looks a bit rough in the pics.
what should i be checking on it and look out for?
i did have one 30 years ago but cant remember what it was like.
what kind of money would this be worth if it needs a general going over...like fork seals, some bearings. paint job ect???
