General Trials Talk

Good Morning Folks, Does anyone know where i can get a good deal on trials bike tyres? Any names of wholesalers with good delivery times? Thanks WRC

which tyres are you all favouring at the minute thanks

All new trials bikes seem to come with Michelin tyres fitted, are they better than other makes or just cheaper? Do different makes of tyre work better in different conditions? What tyre pressures are best for different conditions?

Hi all ...beginner here with a few questions Bike is a 2016 Beta 250 evo.....it's time for new tyres, it's got X11 on at minute but seen Michelin do a trial x competition what's your recommendation Also are wheels tubless or do they have tubes Cheers

has anyone every tried a moto-x tyre on a trials bike? as the nobbles on a trials tyre are so close together, when its muddy, they are just like a slick, where as moto-x tyres have bigger nobbles, and they are futher apart, so they tend not to get caked with mud as much......... they are also

Out of touch...what tyres are people using nowadays. Just bought a Beta Rev4T Cheers

What rear trials tyre would you recommend for muddy hills / bogs. I currently have a Michelin x11 on and needs changed so I was looking at the Dunlop d803 or Michelin X-light tyres would appreciate your opinions and how long they have lasted. cheers

Hi all over just bought a beta evo 250 and I am looking for a shop around the west midlands where I can purchase 2 tyres and have them fitted . Thanks

There is a new 2017 spec irc trials tyre for sale on eBay, anyone have any experience of these yet has anyone bought one??I've had a lot of trouble with Irc's coming off the rim and not holding pressure in the past but I do like the feel of them so would be intrigued as to whether or not these are a genuine improvement

short supply ------ so out of pure interest what are people doing for the ssdt ?,

Got a beta evo with Michelin comp tyres few years old but not hammered by any means ,,thinking of changing what are people's recommendations ,cheers

Hi, just wondering what you think the best type of tyre is for a 125? Thanks, nick

i have always had Michelin rear tyres, but the local shops cant seem to get any at the moment, so, i was thinking of trying one of the new dunlops, they are the same price or maybe even an IRC? just wondering if anybody had tried the new dunlops or an IRC and how they compare to the Michelin. any feedback (good or bad) thank you

Okay, so I want to get a trials bike road registered, MOTd and Taxed. The tyres I have on at the moment are marked "competition use", so will these fail the MOT? If I blob some road tyres on for the test, then subsequently swap back to the stickies, will Mr Plod nobble me? So, for all you chaps who ride combined On/Off road trials....what tyres do you use? Does Plod turn a blind eye at organised events? Cheers Randyrat

Went to rufourth autojumble nr york yesterday and there was one guy selling trials stuff and he had a large stack of michelin trials tyres front and rears which he was knockin out for £45 for front and £65 for rear. now my question is these tyres looked new but doggy some how i.e. they had moulding imperfections not been trimed properly etc, has anyone brought any of these and are they ok

Hello gyus especially in Canada and Scotland. In Finland we have nice winter weather, it means snow everywhere and minus degrees (centigrade). No trial at all. Only training methods jumping in garage with your bike or riding figure eights on driveway. Figure eights on hard snow are very good training with Michelin, when there are some

Hi all, relatively new to trials and need to replace both tyres on my sherco 250 1999 bike and looking for recommendations in uk would be a great help, cheers c

Hi all. Just got a TYZ and the chain and sprockets need replacing. I was just wondering what the standard gearing was. Or if anybody can remember that far back if they altered either the front or rear sproket size for better gearing in sections. Cheers

Hi all, I've always liked watching trials, but after some badgering from a mate I have finally sucumb to giving it a go. Ive been riding push bikes (mainly bmx/mtb) ever since I could walk, and riding motorbikes for the past 10 years. I've just bought an '03 Scorpa 250SY so I can get started What I'm really after is the collective knowlege and experience of you guys on here. I know it's going ot be a steep learning curve, but I want it be an enjoyable one, so give me your hints, tips, stories, and advice that you feel everyone new taking up the sport like me should need to know.
