General Trials Talk

anybody know where i could get a cheap rear wheel for a REV 3? as the other day i was at hook woods with sam coner and my tyre came off the bead we couldnt get it back on so i was buggered for the day so it made me think about getting a spare rear wheel.

Bonjour mes amis. Is there any French trials riders near to Royan or in the Dordogne?

My son's TXT 80 has a lovely 4-pot caliper that I'm thinking would make a dandy replacement for the 2-pot one on my 2.9. I need more stopper than he does! Anybody know if the master cyl is the same for 2 and 4-pot calipers? On some bikes (non-trials) you need a new master for moving the extra fluid.

might seem like a crazy post....BUT...my wife and I MIGHT settle in Spain in a few years time. Has anyone any ideas of which regions, offer the most action/clubs/events in trials?? Thanks in advance for any ideas!

We're putting on a 2Day event this year which will be Vintage bikes the first day, and Modern the next! Guys coming from a long way to ride, just wanted to field some ideas from you on things we can do to make this event even more special!! Special sections, timed hillclimbs, riding sections sidesaddle etc, lets hear your best ideas!!!! Cheers, Steve

Back when bikes had points you had to remove the flywheel and replace or at least file the points fairly often. When I replaced the points or checked the gap I always checked the flywheel run-out. Now that bikes have electronic ignitions I rarely remove the cover. How often should you check run-out of the flywheel and how much run-out is too much?

Im new to trials central forst post. Im from U.S. needing to get parts for mecatecno amigo need a primary gear (t4 morini engine) absolutly nothing available in the states.

As looking on Dave Mawers website, I seen that he has used a kitchen sieve (not sure on the spelling) as the vents on his seat to prevent all the dirt getting in. And I wondered, as a seive doesn't restict airflow, could it be used elsewhere? Such as the cap for the air filter, over the end of the silencer to stop all the mud getting in and many many more. However, the sieve will reduce the ammount of dirt that enters, but there will be a build up of dirt, which isn't good for the air filter. But the silencer may be an idea? I've had to take apart my silencer to remove all the mud build up that it creates due the conditions I ride in being so muddy. Just an idea, what…

Can anyone advise on a method to seal a fiberglass fuel tank. Mine has split on the lower edge seam. Would a epoxy resin be suitable. Or can I just use the standard fiberglass resin / matt. Thanks in advance

Hi all, I was on this a while ago asking for general info on the 1993 Aprilia 280R Climber (purple tank, yellow radiator shrouds). Now I'll be more specific. Looking at the forks, theres a couple of screws on the top and I was wondering what sort of adjustment was available on these forks and which adjuster is which? Theres also an adjuster on the left hand fork but not on the right. Which is which? Also, same question for the shock.........

Ive just got my new bike and ive bought a sheet of carbon fibre effect technosyl to stick on the side of the frame and swinging arm. I peeled a bit of the sheet back and it does not feel very sticky, what is the best way to stick it down making sure it stays stuck ? Thanks,

Hi After last weeks outing my first pair of boots (Wulfsport cheapies) broke a buckle I bought these to start off with and 9 months later the stitching from one of the buckle retainers has come undone. After extensive web surfing i've come across these : Novogars (Gas Gas uk site)

Ive just bought a pair of xc-ting trials trousers and find that the black heat resistant patch on the inside of the knee is rough on the inside of the trousers, which is very irritating. My Hebo's had a lining on the inside of it. Has anyone else had this problem? Does it easy after washing? or should there be a lining on the inside? Thanks.

Andy text the results of the WTC indoors and outdoors, brilliant, fantastic great, another first where others may follow TC leads. Well done. I want some stickers.

A post on behalf of my dad that has a 1993 Aprilia climber 280....but doesn't know exactly what oil mix ratio he should be using. Does anyone know... Thanks in advance for any help

I am in the market for new bars and am wondering which way to go. I have a 03 Sherco 2.0 with the stock Domino bars. I have read other posts about modifying Sherco top clamps to accept the 1 1/8 tapered Tag and Hebo bars. I like the idea of the larger/stronger tapered bars, and have access to a great machinist . But I am not sure of the differences in the bends of the different brands of bars. The stock bend seems fine to me but who knows I may like something else even more. I am 5'8". Thanks for you suggestions. JimmyK
