General Trials Talk

Did m'first one yesterday, weavers and wobblers sort of thing, on a loaned 125. Absolutely loved it. Haven't had so much fun in years. Top bunch of people, all very friendly and welcoming, even if they did take loads of pictures of me inspecting the bash plate whilst on the move......on the first corner of the first section....swine!

Which would you's recommend? And do the betas still suffer from the same carb and stator problems? Cheers.

Hi all, I'm after some advice on my floating front disc, I have a 2012 gasgas 300, I got it new, it had the formula brakes on when I got it, but I changed to the newer braktec setup, with ng/jitsie discs, I reused the disc bushes from my original discs but they seem really tight, they have play but it doesn't seem right, I have also ordered a new set of jitsie bushes, but still exactly the same hardly any play. Other setups I've had have had a lot more movement, only other bike I've been able to see is a 2015 sherco and its got noticeably more movement. Thanks

New series channel 4 at 21:00 on Sunday This is probably in wrong section but I thought I would put it where plenty would see it. From the trailer it looks like a throwback to the days when off road bikes were not much different to their road counterparts.

Can anyone offer me some advice please on my Xblok front brake calliper, fitted to a 2011 Beta Evo 290. Cant find any info on Xblok online, is it an old / discontinued brand? 2 things, 1, where can i get a piston / seal kit? 2, whats the tool called or type of tool used to remove the gold calliper covers ( looks like a larger version of whats used on Hope MTB brakes. Thanks you

The Somerton classic club put on a trial today for beginners and returners. I took the chance to take my 13 year old son to ride his first ever event on his BSA Bantam, we had a great day. I can not say a big enough thank you to the club and observers who were so helpful and encouraging to him. You have another new trial rider, he want to come back to the next event. Thank you to everybody and hope the frost bite was not too bad. This just the sort of investment into the sport we need and nice to see people who give something back. (I am not a member of this club, but I think they will have a new junior member soon)

Looking for some new tyres for my 08 Gas Gas, Originally had Michelin X11's but Id like to look into other brands. My bike isnt on the road so the Michelin's arent essential. What would you reccomend? All the best Tom

Did anyone ride at eldroth last sunday did you enjoy it? Brilliant ride from Jill Driffield, showed a lot of the lads the way home!! Well done to Jill Driffield. Is anyone riding the solo classes at the british sidecar round , see my sidcar trials reply for details.

I have had my TYZ forks apart, getting them back together gives me a litte challange, though.. I belive this is a 1994. There are two metal "cups", I belive they go in first, followed by the cartridge? Problem is I cant get the cartridge to go all the way down in the bottom tubes, which means that I cant enter the bolts that hold the cartridge to the bottom tube. (hope you understand what I'm trying to say.. ) Is there anywhere on the net that I can download a workshop manual? Thanks!

I have a 2011 GG TXT Pro 125 and was thinking of replacing the standard fat bars with the Jitsie bars. I seem to be riding hunched over existing set up I have 22mm bar raisers but still suffer with lower back pain has anyone any experience on raising fat bars. I'm 175cm tall and not sure whether to try the 5.5" or 6.0" bars?

just another day at the office!!

I have recently acquired a C15 trials conversion. It has a 250 star engine 1970 that originally was exported to the USA. Trouble is I cannot identify the filler plug or the drain plug for the gearbox , neither the Rupert Ratio or a downloaded BSA Instruction Manual show the same configuration as mine. There is no obvious hexagon drain plug or filler plug. I assume the g'box is on the left side at the rear of the crankcase. On my bike there is a small hexagon [ 1/2 inch ] on top of the crankcase [ under the exhaust pipe !] and a prominent protruding Phillips screw at the base which may be the answer. Any information . Many thanks.

having a look on a few sites and there are 2 chains for sale. a 428 and a 520. which the best for a late 70s montesa 247 cota? cant seem to find any info on it. many thanks.

To fit fork legs?
