General Trials Talk

hi there new to this site and trials. can anyone give some advice on sealing a rear rim on a beta rev3. it seems to leak out of the spoke holes, only had bike about a week and was fine until i got back yesterday, there is no sealant around spoke nipples just a real heavy duty rim tape,

Just a little problem. I would like to tighten my throtle cable, but have run out of thread on the adjuster, can I just remove the top of my carb and pull the slider out and then adjust a screw or something? My bike is a 03 rev3 Thanks Bob

Anyone have a contact number for WES?

Toofasttim mentioned Charlie Dementhiue (sp?) in another thread and I was wondering if there was anywhere on the net or otherwise I could obtain his anuals? Does anyone know of anywhere? Cheers!

Just an idle thought, in the mid to late '80's it looked like the French were going to dominate the WTC for years to come with riders like the Michaud brothers, Pascal Coutourier (sp), Phillipe Berlatier and so on. What happened to the French, why did they fall off the pace so dramatically?

Just come back from my first training day with James Lampkin BRILLIANT!!! learnt more today than in 4 yours riding anybody who wants to learn from the best needs to enrole now see www.jimlampkin.com Cheers Jim

Ive just painted my lads 125 pro seat unit and have managed to save the raised 125 sticker that sits in the middle. What i want to know is can anyone recomend a strong glue to restick it with. I was going to use time bond but its not compatible with celulose paint which i belive is in tins of spray paint.

Aup, I was wonderin what tyres are best? I found with Michelin they get slashed dead easy, but i heard off people that Dunlops with doing lots of road work the tread falls off!? I'm doing the Novogar championship this year and I seem to be annihilating tyres after every one. At the mo i'm running Michelin on the pack and around 3 - 4 PSI. I'm fed up of riding round on slick tyres, Can anyone suggest what to use or what presure to run? tar.

Hi guys, the missus is gonna treat me to some fork protectors,for being a good boy lately, has anyone had either the kevlar or carbon ones from BVM Moto, and what did they think? I think there's only a fiver difference in price, ta boys.

Hi, Air has been leaking through where the spokes go into rim, have checked spoke tension and used silicon over topof spokes inside rim, but air is still leaking. Has anyone had this problem and is there a better cure than the silicon trick has this has not worked. thanks in advance

I've been into Skiing, Biking, Sledding (Snowmobile), moto x for years and I've got stacks of videos for each sport. Theres livings to be made and athletes on TV. I wonder if it's a euro thing that has trials so far back, but you guys love the BEST sports. Rally is way bigger, DH racing is way bigger and Freeski contests are going off. Where is the real Big Mountain Trials? To me this seems like it could be the raddest sport on the planet but no one is pushing it, on mountains real technical decending and climbing and HUCKS you guys should be pounding the crusty demons of dirt right back to the motocross track. Am I really the first to think of riding a trials bike on the…

As the title says really, what are Hare and Hound trials please? Roy.

Has anyone out there used Pirrelli tyres at all and how do they perform against Michelin. Would they be ample for Schoolboy use particually the front . Any advice appriciated.

I just got a 2005 Sherco 2.9 Trials bike. I did my first mechanical work on the bike. Wow, what is the trick to getting the airbox back on ?? I had to loosen the muffler and before the airbox would go back on. There must be a trick to it?

I was 40 over Easter - Boooo! especially as the over 40s is more competative than the novices. But.... pressie from Mum and Dad arrived yesterday.. a James Lampkin training day at Addingham Moorside. Fantastic. Something I would probably never have bought myself. Looking forward to it already. Mum saw me ride for the first time in 20 years or so the other week. Perhaps she saw that I needed all the help I can get

Does anyone know where I can buy a pair of new GAR trials boots, the brown oiled ones, not nubuck? I have been searching everywhere for these, and can't seem to get hold of a pair. Lots doing the Nubuck ones, but I can't help thinking they won't last as long as the oiled leather ones. My leather Alpinestars ones have given up after 10 years of loyal service, so I need to replace them ASAP! I have tried all of the 'big' trials shops, but no where seems to have them. Any help appreciated!

Does anyone know the fork leg oil capacity for a 1997 Montesa 315R

after the great input on the fork protection, is there any protection made for a rev '3 swingarm, I know they did for the techno , but on lampkins drawing of the rev I cant see any, any DIY specialities you've done would be great cheers all. mick.
