I have replaced rubber band on rim .I have made sure band is down,but still cant get it to seal.I was wondering is there some trick to getting these bands to seal.If I pump tire pressure high it holds,but when I decrease pressure it leaks (the rim is on a 2005 200 gas gas)

So whats Jordi gona do now?

Hi All, Few weeks ago at a trial I lost my rear brakes. Had a quick look at the fluid (full) and then took the caliper off and had a look, there's no pressure on the foot brake and the cylinders weren't pushing out. Got back home and bled the system out fully, still having the same problems, anyone got any ideas what I can try next? Cheers Andy

hi, I just got a second hand pair of boot. They're in great condition and already appear to be 'nic-waxed' (?) quite heavily. This is great, but I'm after some advice - should I just clean up the boot (get the mud off) and apply more waterproofing, or is there a way of getting the existing stuff off and starting from scratch? Advice welcomed, and what is a good waterproofer available easily in the UK? thanks muchly pat

Hello, Im looking for the cheapest place to buy a new beta rev 3 270cc. Im just north of london (hertfordshire) but i dont mind travelling or having one delivered to get a good price. Anybody have any recomendations? And does anybody want to buy my 2004 beta rev 3 270cc. Thanks

My son has just started riding a Beta Rev 50. He is a big 6 year old and a capable rider of autos...BUT... while he tries very hard with the clutch lever on the Rev 50, I'd prefer to get a smaller one. Has anybody made this change and if so, what bike lever and post did you use succesfully? Cheers. J.

Instead of thinking isn't Raga's Christmas message nice I am left thinking he looks a right tool dressed up as a King. I think the double winning of the indoor and outdoor WTC has gone to his head. Any ideas for what he will be dressed as on next years card? The widow tw**ky or Dick Whittington perhaps. Rumour has it he is appearing with the Krankies in Christmas Panto. :santawink:

Ok...so I should have asked first... I have the clutch cover off and was hoping to see the clutch springs held down by screw....but there is a plate with spring covers/retainers. The plate is held by a large ring that is very snug in against the basket. What next? Ease the ring out and watch the clutch fly apart? Get a magic tool that does it for me? (Seems like the plate is forced against the ring by the springs and therefore the clutch would need to be pressed in to allot eh removal of the ring) Help pleeeeezzzz...not seen this type before

Just before the purist's start going crazy, this is just meant as an observation but why are there still trials that have a 'road' element in them. I understand from the early days that most trials bikes were road bikes anyway so it didnt matter, but nowadays, a modern trials bike just aint suited to the road. no seat, a petrol tank that holds sod all and tyres that are just crap to use on the road.( as well as they dont last long either) So whats the point? The other obvious observation is it excludes youths who arent old enough to get a licence. What does riding on the road add to a trial ?. If its regarded as an endurance test then thats better to be done off road s…

Anyone know where I can get hold of a pair of Dunlop Fork Stickers, black background, yellow writing? There used to be a guy on ebay that did them, but haven't been any on there for a while.

the inner o ring groove on the barrel of my 1997 gasser has a problem.The out side edge of the groove has been broken of in 3 places.each of the gaps is a bout 10mm wide. Can you lot out there give me some ideas? is it a new barrel or will the o ring still seal? cheers, steve

I have a 2001 2.9 Sherco When it is stood vertical or leaned to the right side it is fine but when I lean it to the left there is a strange whirring noise that I think is coming from the engine or clutch. Anyone had this experience before ????? When I right the bike the noise stops - STRANGE !!!

hi was wondering what people are looking forward to in 2006?? My plans are to do all the Welsh round and Cheshire rounds maybe a British Youth B round and sherco trianing days

have been lurking for a while but now I need your help 1st I have no clue about riding trials I am one of those too chicken to mx and not enough sense of balance to trial I do not even know why, but I got a TX270 a few weeks back and try to make friends with her now I looked for a cheap project bike so I'd have a 2nd bike to drag someone along last weekend proved a CRF and a TX do not like the same terrain and speed long story short: I stumbled across 2 Fantics within 4 hours radius both have been stored for years, both are complete (sort of, redneck complete), both need some tlc and both are in the same price range and I did not find much info on either one …

Had some pretty grim news. Hoping for some positive feedback... Not only do they want to cut me up,they also insist on selling the trials bike and replacing it with a pushie.....may as well just f#@$%*g die. Is there anyone out there who is still riding or knows of anyone regularly still competing in trials after hip replacement.

XISPA, Are these mini all right? Made in Spain correct, and how much are they in US currency? :santawink:
