General Trials Talk

Anyone have one of those electric heated knife thingys to groove / cut tires with? Care to lend it out? Or cut up a tire for me? Or know who would? Thanks

Dont know if you got my mail `Hutchph998` but...I`ve just found out that I`m off to Toulouse on Monday for 5 weeks (working). I`ve re-read the reply you wrote and fancy going to one of the trials and trials shops you mentioned,so any info would be appreciated before I leave,and ...if possible a contact number while I`m there,because I doubt I`ll have access to this site while away. regards N

I keep hearing that the montesa 4rt (even tho it did badly in the indoor champs) will clean up when the outdoor champs start ,is this and educated guess or does someone know something we dont. This here in front of us is a questionaire for honest Montesa 4RT owners. 1:Do you ride any better. 2:Is it easier to ride. 3:Is it easier to live with. 4:What was your previous trials bike. 5:Does it feel lighter/heavier than your previous bike. 6:would you buy another one 7: Is 4 stroke better than 2 stroke Remember honesty is always the best policy

Anyone have a contact number for WES?

I'm about 220lbs and an intermediate rider. I have a 2018 TRS 300RR. I'm trying to learn hopping my bike but having a hard time. My suspension rebound is set quite dampened which suits the West coast of Canada where the mountain climbs are long, steep and rooty. When I jump down hard and compress the suspension i find it doesn't spring back fast enough to elevate the wheels off the ground. Is this normal? Even when i compress and pull up hard the tires barely come off ground . Should i make the forks and ring coil more "springy". Any suggestions and methods appreciated.

Been looking st a few aluminium fuel 1ltr fuel cans... what does everybody use when out and about as emergency fuel can? Obviously you can’t carry a big van, just thinking of a top up for when out on the trail.

Does anyone have any info on somewhere to say for the 4 Day trial, even the campsite by the lake? Cant get the place we had last year and am struggling to find somewhere else. Thanks

any idea roughly how much a newset of plastics would be for both a sherco and a beta rev?

hey guys. i’m not too sure how all of this works but basically, i discovered trials a while ago and i really wanna get into it. i saw many people recommending beginners to find a trials club in their area, so i went searching. i’d say i searched quite a bit, but i found absolutely nothing. i couldn’t find a single trials club in the country, let alone a dealer selling trials bikes in the area. i’m 16, so there isn’t much i can do like travel. what do i do now?

I've seen a woodland land i'm thinking of buying. The sporting rights are included in the sale, so i'm assuming i can ride my bike on the land without any legal problems? The land has road access and is away from houses etc... What I'd like to know is what can i do in the way of modifying the land with a digger and building sections. The land appears flat from an ordance survey map. If there were to be issues with digging the land up are there any ways ( PM me privately) in which the local council might agree, ie; allowing the local boy scouts, girl guides to have summer camps, or allow horse riding? cliff

I see there's a list of TC sponsors but it doesn't go anywhere Andy could you give us a link to TC advertisers/sponsors that will save us lurking around topics that discuss bodily fluids and let us go straight to TC's advertisers?

Anyone that has ridden in any of the French trials over the years will surely recognise these two! http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=fr&tl=en&twu=1&u=http://www.colt-lelongt.org/&usg=ALkJrhg56Dg9Iy2eVzHne2R608Zb_nFTaw

Hi guys, i am looking to venture into trials for a year or two in between a break from motocross and i'm looking to spend max £2500 on my first trials bike. i have settled on a 250 but i am just needing to sort out what brand. I am currently looking at a 2011 sherco 250 which is within my budget or a 2010 gasgas which is more than i want to spend. Are sherco's unreliable or inferior to gas gas as i have read some things on the net some love em and some hate em. (we get this in mx aswell) is there anything to look for in buying a second hand trials bike? similar to motocross second hand? are sherco traditionally alot cheaper than gasgas? thanks in advance. and any oth…

Is there any benefit or downside to having your shock on upside down ? Random question I know, just wondered

Forget the whole thing - I found the answer.
