tearing my hair out to order parts from trusty in france and have them sent to USA. Does anyone have a "french connection", someone living in france who could order parts and then ship them to USA? For a fee, of course. Thanks guys

One day last year I sent emails to loads of trials related companies for

The blue rebound adjustment knob on top of the right fork will not turn. Do these freeze up if they are not turned or lubed for some time? Could it just be jammed because someone turned it too tight? Any suggestions? Also, there's a small slot head screw in the bolt at the bottom of the fork. This is the bolt that holds the tube and damper assemble in. What's the purpose of this screw?.

sorry if this has already been covered, but I've been away!! Saw a re-run of last weeks "Vroom Vroom" program, "Skys" attempt to emulate the success of Top Gear etc. Anyway they had a small piece on trials riding, the usual half hearted, unresearched effort but with Dougie roped in and doing his best to explain the sport and help some dizzy-ass woman (no disrespect to ANY lady riders intended, but she was annoying) having a go at a "section". Anyway was reasonably ok as it started off by showing some of the extreme world round stuff etc but went down hill rapidy as the narrator described that there were approx 30 clubs in the UK(!?), the cost of riding a trial is

I am off to Tenerife this weekend. I am aware there is a trials community over there. Does anyone know if there is a trial on this weekend! My in-laws have bought a place over there so will be going quite a lot!! I would like to ride over there some time!! Any info would be useful.

DO OU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE NEW KIND OF TRIAL CALLED PANAFRICA, IT

Hey all Sorry to do this but I feel it is necessary. I my personal opinion i would not bid on the following item as it is a dog and not worth what you would pay. My dad won the bike and went to have a look at it in Manchester, losing a days work and found the bike was not anywhere near as advertised. It had the following faults. The bearings in swing arm and wheels gone. The Fan comes on when started and the engine rattles like a food blender The front fork seal are shot. Both sprockets and chain need replacing and not just "needing adjustment" as the owner tried to convince us. The last service was done over 18 months ago, so as you can tell it is not well mainta…

Fellow Trialers i am writing to inform you about a SCAMSTER he calls himself PETER KING he bids on bikes on ebay and has no intention of paying what he has bid.we've heard that he sometimes wont turn up ,or turns up in a car and offers you less money without even checking the bike,he then gives bad feedback and says its not whats advertised. i have met 3 people who have had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting the SCAMSTER,i ride a mont 4RT myself and whilst at sanderfords,i met 1 Guy from Disley who's had to repost his bike and i see theres a chap on here who's had bad reports from the KINGS...he has probably had the same problem with them.if your going to Buy/Sell a Bike…
