Twinshock

I have a Sammy Miller hoop type mudguard stay but I have no idea what it fits. The only identification mark is a digit 3 stamped into one of the mounting lugs. It looks similar to the TY80 type advertised on the Sammy Miller website. Distance between mounting holes is 7cm Can anyone suggest what it should fit please ?

Hello I have a 1983 349MH which I think has the wrong stautions. With the bike lent against the wall the length from the centre of the axle to the bottom of the bottom yolk is 52cm. Is there anyone out there with one of these bikes who could take this measurment for me. Thanks

Reading other post the normal thing to do to a Pre 65 bike is to fit more modern internals into the front forks, has anyone tried fitting modern internals into there twinshocks forks, or is it that modern forks are just so much thicker? I've got a TY 175 that could seriously do with something doing with the front forks, i was thinking of perhaps putting some more modern springs into it any ideas what might fit?

I bought this bike for probably below market price, but am wondering about insurance cover. I hear some sell for more than

Hello In a moment of nostalgia induced weakness i recently bought an old Montesa 348 for rebuilding. It came with a red frame and a hidious lime green/yellowish tank cover/seat unit. I assumed it would need respraying in the red that i've seen every other 348, but after scraping away some of the original paint can't find a trace of red. Does anyone know if Montesa had a bit of a 'seventies moment' ever painted 348's in anything like this? Cheers

I know its not a trials bike, but this has to be close to some sort of record for a production twinshock Husky Auto Enduro Martin

Has any body out there got a swing arm from a post white wonder 349, the one Im after is the same as the MH349 or mk3 with the bend in it nearly half way down. If I cant buy one it would be great if I could find the dimensions so I could copy it, thanks Mark

Starting to restore my 172 montesa and was always told it was a 123 bored out to 156.Have got a 123 engine for spares and the 172 has a longer con rod and heavier fly wheels. abit more than a bigger bore me thinks.

Not many of these to see these days but I have one that is misbehaving. Practicing a few weeks ago I lost the ability to shift gears. Didn't get banged. Lever resisting up a down movement on the spring but no selection. Thought the problem would be the locknut on the eccentric cam coming loose. But not the problem. Have stripped the mechanism in the primary case. Nothing seized and no broken springs. Moving through the range of adjustment allows a setting that will allow going up the box or down but not both. All gears select easily using the square 8mm peg. Timing marks lining up correctly. No noises from gearbox so I think it's the mechanism in the primary case. Any tri…

Does anyone have the dates and clubs running the remaining rounds of the National Twinshock Championship that Congleton and Oxford Ixion have ran?

HI can anyone suggest a way to flush out the gearbox on an SWM 240? i was just going to do two oil changes close together but was told to "fill it with diesel give it a swill round then drain it." Has anyone tried this? Thanks Matt

Hi I'm struggling to work out how the return spring fits in relation to the kick start shaft. Anyone offer any advice or even better photos please.

Hi folks can anyone tell me how much fork oil or what level it should be in each leg in a cota 200, also what weight would you recomend for an eleven stone rider Thanks PS if anyone has a good set looking for a new home pm me with price

Howdo Guys. Lady luck was with me twice last week. After a few months of deciding what I was going to do with my pair of Dalesmans I got stuck in. One is going to be restored to original the other is going to get developed. I had a Dalesman when a kid for schoolboy scrambling and thought it was great, in later life and now into twinshock trialling everyone I speak to says they weren't very good for trialing, engine being to peaky with no bottom end at all. So I'm on a mission to make one work at trials. Good luck one, a mate asked me to put some brake shoes in his Seeley, on closer inspection they are identical to the Puch moped shoes fitted to the front end (well no…

How much fork oil do I put in a Yamaha 1975 or 76 ty 175 trials bike

Could anyone give me some info on Italajets. I am concidering a 83 350 right now for my vintage class ride for no other reason than to have something different. Im sure parts are difficult to get and no one around my way seems to know much about them. This alone should deter me but it has not. If anyone has some info or opinions I would love to hear them. Thanks Aaron

While my TLR waits for completion, I have turned my attention to finishing up my model 49 Sherpa T. I have seen photos of this model with a silver frame and some with a black frame. Anyone know which is the stock color?
