So today I did my second ever trial. My first trial was about a month ago in Standlake Woods near Oxford, hosted by North Berks MCC. I entered the lowest group I could and amazed myself by managing to complete all four rounds of ten sections on the novice route with an overall score of about 34 or 35. I was extremely chuffed with this and despite splitting my front mudguard went home full of confidence and looking forward to the next one. Today was my second trial at Beckley, Oxford Ixion MCC. I rocked up feeling quite confident but, OMG, it was a completely different experience. Obviously it’s been wet recently but most of the sections were either up or down (o…

Hi, looking for some direction. I’ve lost touch a bit with the trials scene and there’s been a few new manufacturers over the last few years, TRS and vertigo. I seem to ride better with lighter weight bikes, with smooth controllable power. I’m just a novice rider, don’t need stacks of power. I’m fancying changing my beta evo 250, I love it, especially how smooth and controllable the power is, but for no other reason than I fancy a change. Am I right in saying the trs is the lightest bike on the market? I saw some conflicting info on the internet? I hear the 300 betas and trs are generally softer power delivery than the 250? I’ve always had 250s but wonde…

Hi all new to the forum, I’m currently looking at a 2003 beta Rev 3 200 that requires a top end kit. being a 200 parts are expensive! could you put a 250 piston and cylinder on a 200?? any advice is hugely appreciated cheers Rory.

Anyone tell me the oil in a TLM 250 transmission please? Thanks.

Hi, I'm starting my winter project soon - restoring my 1967 Bultaco Sherpa T. Can anyone recommend a good engine rebuilder not too far from Oxfordshire ? I'm happy taking stuff apart and basic things, but actually want the engine to work properly and last longer than the last 2stroke i rebuilt. Thanks.

This may seem a daft question…. Planning on going to a trial for the first time tomorrow at Oxford Ixion just to check it out and learn before taking the newly purchased bike. But I have no idea how long it’s likely to go on for! Starts at 10.30, are they usually an all day thing or a lunchtime finish thing? And do you take food and drink or is there usually a burger van or something? Sorry if this seems an odd question but I can’t find out any info and the Wife wants to know roughly what time I’ll be back! And as shown, I really haven’t got a clue what to expect! 😆

A quick question regarding joining a club or clubs…. There are two or three within driving distance from me, all of which hold periodic events that I will enter. I’m new to all of this having only done one trial so far, is the done thing to join all of the clubs whose trials you enter to show support or should you only join one? I don’t really know anyone in any of them personally although the lads and lasses at North Berks MCC were very welcoming at the trial I entered. They aren’t my nearest club though. Might see a daft question but none are exactly on the doorstep and the nearest one only seems to come together when they are holding a trial from what I can see, i…

Let's start by all pointing and laughing at me- never has one motorbike caused me so much stress and made me so mechanically inept* My 2013 ST 300 Sherco (yes, it's me again) was getting a stuck carb float every single ride. Free it with a tap, then carry on for an hour. Deciding to try and cure this issue I did some research, I spoke to Splatshop and this was the agreed plan: Change the inline fuel filter, disassemble the fuel pump to clean it, clean out the tank, clean out the carb, replace the float valve, check the bore where the float valve sits and ensure the floats aren't catching. So tank checked. No dirt. Fiddly fuel pump checked and reass…

Just starting out in trials and was hoping for some advice with an issue I’m having. I’m now reasonably confident with basic balance and control on flat stuff and going over small stuff (up to say 50cm). Ive also starting rolling down banks reasonable confidentially, even steeper ones say getting on for 45deg+. I’m having an issue that I’ve experienced twice now when trying a drop off. When I practice a drop off on a token ledge (30cm onto flat ground), it all goes fine. But when I try something bigger or a drop off that’s onto a hill, I’ve had this issue that the bike starts to rapidly accelerate around when my front wheel touches the ground, it flys away …

Hey Looking for recommendations of a bike to get for a 7 year old? thanks

Hi I am new to Ossa and would appreciate some help with the identification of my bike, cc, model and year of manufacture I originally believed the bike to be a Mick Andrews replica 250cc approximately 1975. I have looked on Ossa frame and engine number lists and cannot find this one, the frame number is B430092 and engine number M430092. Also is anyone aware where I might be able to purchase a manual/service repair/parts list book for this bike. Thank you in advance Wiyon

Hi boys and girls im struggling to find seals for my hebo caliper on a 2001 txt 249. Does anyone know if seals from another machine will fit . Pistons are 24mm OD or are there any other calipers that will fit my machine? Regards sam

i've just shortened my handlebars, which has left the clutch and front brake hoses a bit too long. Assuming I get on with the shorter bars, can anyone recommend someone who can make up some shorter hoses? (Or if I don't like them, I'll be looking for new handlebars. 🙄)

Hi we have a couple of bikes, Beta Evo 250, Oset 24R and now a great TY80 that my 15 year old lad Matthew will strip and rebuild to hopefully a nice bike. My questions for now how do I identity the year / model etc. I suppose really I should not but here is the Frame / Engine number 451-111511 And where's the best place for bits. Cheers Mark & Matthew

Local trials specialist fitted a new clutch & clutch hose as part of diagnosing killer drag issues. Today's the second time I've taken the bike out... .. and suddenly no clutch. The fluid running down the hose reveals the brake line has worked itself loose. FFS. Should the union have a copper washer, loctite, PTFE, fernox or something else to stop this happening?

Hi folks. I was looking for some advice please. I used to ride trials when I was younger and plan on getting back into it. I was looking at the beta evo 200 and wondered what the thoughts were in comparison to the 250? I would be spending am extra 1k for the 200 and I'm not sure if it is worth the extra?

Does anyone on here know of or attend pre organised or regular practices held at Milton Buzzards practice ground in Milton Keynes? I have been in touch with someone at the Club by email who has said that if I join I can get access to the practice ground but that you can’t go alone for safety reasons, which is understandable. But he couldn't really offer any insight as to when anyone else is there. He said to check the Facebook page, I did this but the last post was in 2017….! So I don’t think I’ll find out much there.. I just wondered if there are any regulars of the Club on here that may be able to shed some light or that go up in groups, it would be pretty han…
