General Trials Talk

Anybody know if the 2011 TdN is going to be televised on Eurosport ??

I have found a spoke thread roller but I am not sure what size the spokes are on my Bikes, TY and BULTACO 198. The roller has dies for 9 and 10 gauge spokes?? will this be any good for Twin shock spokes. Any info on this topic would be greatly appreciated as I know nothing in this field except that spokes to suit these bike are too expensive in Australia, so my plan was to buy spokes for bikes that no else wants and re size to suit?? Thanks Chris Sandell-hay Hunter Valley Australia

being a bit on the plump side, i'd be interested to hear what other folk do about clothing. I'm a 42 waist and so far i've been unable to find anything that fits. Surely i'm not the only BIG bloke who does trials

There is a new concept of hydrogen fuelling that could be applicable to future, post petrol, trials bikes and other light vehicles. It does away with pressurised tanks etc. Zero emissions etc. Recharging would pretty quick.

Hi guys Was searching the classifieds and came across this bike. 2012 Xprisa 280cc, apparently made in Spain and is a sherco copy. Price is ZAR 17 000 (about £1000 , $2000us).....not a bad price but what is it and how is it? (I dont plan on trading my EVO in, dont worry ). Cheers

Throwing out some general rules here, but usually, if a bottom end oil is intended for two strokes they will grade it with a different system than a 4 stroke. Soooo, when you go pick up a bottle of two stroke lower unit oil (clutch) it will say something like 75 wt. or 80 Wt. And if you are picking up an oil for a 4 stroke, it will be speced with the "standard"(SAE) designation of 10W40 or 10W30 or so. As I am looking to help by brother in Law in Germany find the right lubricants for his bikes, I am stumbling into that the European's are flagging all their transmission type oils with the SAE grades Ie 10W40 or so... SOOOOOOO, my question is, On the bottle of oil that…

I made some fork protectors out of black golf club tubes, attached them with black nylon ties and applied some Armor All for shine. All for less than a buck! For upper fork protection I used cracker sleeve containers that cost $2 each at my Kroger grocery store. I'd like to find something else that's clear. For 15

Can we expect The results from back cowm to appear?

Hello My Scorpa SY250 recently got a rear puncture. I was going replace the tyre but the existing tyre is a tubless type with a tube in it. Also the rims have been drilled and fitted with rim locks so I'm not sure what to do; should I replace the tyre with a tubed type - will a tubed tyre be O.K. on a tubless rim? Or should I replace with a tubless type tyre with a tube in? I assume the rim locks rule out tubeless tyres with no tube. Any advice would be welcome Cheers
