    Looking for new shoes for my Penton Mudlark. Not sure what the hubs are, other than OEM. I'm told Rickman Zundapp are the same and maybe REH. But I'm not sure. Any information is appreciated. Thanks

  2. Hello, I'm currently restoring and early Puch engined Dalesman. Can anybody tell me how many teeth the front sprocket should have? The original is missing. Also the rear rubber drive damper is somewhat past its best. I've trawled the Internet but can't find one anywhere. Any ideas? It's a Puch rear hub setup. Thanks! Martin.

    Any help gratefully received. I have recently taken apart my forks on My KT250 to replace the seals and found no springs inside. sourced some new springs, but didnt realise they were so small and they are in two parts. Looked at an exploded diagram of the forks and it seems there are a lot of gubbins inside that I havent got either, spacers and the likes. Can anyone help with this because I am not sure how they line up inside or what else is needed. I have a workshop manual, but it doesnt help much really

    What inner tube is recommended for rear fitment with a radial tire? I used to get a Michelin tube marked as Special Trials 4.00R18, but I can't find them anymore.

    Need a bit of help to get my head around steering mods on a twinshock. I've read about people fitting parallel yokes to alter the steering angle, rather than cutting and re welding frames. Does that not just shorten the wheel base and leave the fork angle the same? Just wondering whats needed to improve steering is it about the rake on the forks or the wheel base? Cheers.

    Hi folks, There will be another ahrma Trials at Unadilla's MX Rewind this year. June 5th. I am in need of checkers. If you are available, or have friends who can help, please let me know with a PM. The Trials is right after the CC race. Several people I know do both the CC race and the Trials, so there's time between events to make your way over. There will also be at least 1st place trophies for novice, intermediate and expert classes, for post 1979 air-cooled Trials bikes with drum brakes and twin shocks, even though this is a non points ahrma class. Feel free to ask me any questions about the event. And please help out if you can.

    Most shock absorber makers offer a choice of 40 or 50 ib spring rating, I realise that the angle the shocks are mounted at, distance forward of the rear wheel spindle & weight of rider all make a difference but is there a guide as to which spring is most suitable.

    The time has come for some new shocks for my Bultaco, it is a 198A sherpa, so shock length 340mm. however for a mere mortal clubman rider what do I go for, budget is £250 max. however I am confused.com There are Betors, which I have fitted currently, budget range circlips to adjust, work fine, just thought I would snaz the old girl up a bit. Betors expert range? Sammy Miller Betors again clubman and expert? NJB's not had alot of success with these, however not had a pair for about 5 years? New range of Betors available from Dave Renham at in-motion? Falcons? so open to suggestions or peoples personal preferences

    Hi all, I have changed my front tire out (after much learning, trials, and tribulation [see what I did there?]), only to find that my front wheel is offset. Its not crooked, so to speak... its just not centered and I cannot figure out why it would be like this. It is sitting to the left-side of the bike. It doesn't wobble when it turns, its just not centered between the forks. Everything is fitting back together the way it should to my knowledge... I made sure to key up the speedometer and the drum will even bolt in as it should... anyone seen this before or have any idea what I may have done wrong? I have attached a pic of each side so you can see how close the tir…
