General Trials Talk

hi, just wondering if any one would recomend any trials boots, because it's time for some knew ones! and i dont know which to go for????

Hi Guys, I'm looking to buy some new tools (Ratchets, Sockets, Allen attatchments, Spanners. ect...) but seen as there are so many out there. I wondered which would be best for trials bike needs on a budget that won't break the bank. Thanks.

Hi am in a dilemma i am not sure on what bike to for. Its between a 2016 sherco 250 and a 2016 montesa cota 4rt I have tried the 2016 sherco and i thought it was great but i havent tried the 2016 montesa i have only tried the 2014 cota which i thought was great. Would it be worth going the extra money to get the cota 4rt or should i just go for the sherco. I have had 2 sherco's a 2004 200 and a 2011 290 I liked the 2004 but i am not fused on the 2011 Many thanks

Hi just got a different bike and it has about just under a full tank of fuel. The mixture is blue in colour. Bit of a stupid question I know.........But would anyone know what this make of two stroke oil maybe? I want to stick with the same one as I found my bike does not take to TTS. Thanks in advance WRC

Hi there folks, I was just wondering what your thoughts were on the various trials tires available. Which gives the best grip, best value etc should I buy Michelin, Dunlop, IRC, and is vee rubber any good as it is cheap. Cheers Spike

I know it's been asked before but, I had a look on BVM's website and there's a big difference in the cost of a rear tyre: Michelin

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

Hi, I was wondering if you guy's could help me. I want to get back in to trials biking. I have not owned a trials bike since i was a kid. I have about

I've had an arc welder for the past 10 years and have done a fair bit of welding inside and outside. The trouble is it only welds fairly thick steel and i seem to be constantly burning holes in steel and shelling out for aluminium welding. I've therefore decided to get a Mig and would like your advice on whether to get a Gas or Gasless Mig welder. I tend to do most of my welding inside but occasionally outside. I weld thick as well and thin alloy and steel. The weld of a Tig looks better , but i've been told you can get good flowing results on steel and aluminium with a Mig if you turn the power up. Is this right ? Im i best to go Gas or Gasless ?. What size (amps …

I wasn't sure if there was a specific wheel which sealed the spokes best so thought I'd ask your opinion...... Lloyd

I will be looking at getting a new bike in the near future & have a few questions. 1. How often do they require a rebuild? (I ride clubman level) 2. Longivity is important to me, which brand will last as well as my TY175? (2 & a half kids & a mortage, it will have to last & be reliable). 3. Which brand will be easy to get parts for in the future? 4. Which brand is best for servicing? 5. European or Japanese engine? 6. Steel or aluminimum frame? ( Is cracking a problem with alloy frames on trials bikes?) Thanks in advance for you imput. Hope this doesn't open a pandor's box Adrian

Hi i have a 06 Gas GAS 250 use 50:1 mix with no problems but have noticed yesterday that the exhaust fumes seemed very white(so much so i thought there had been a new pope elected) havent done anything different water ingress somewhere?? clean with a power washer but always careful round wheel bearings and engine casings mix to rich/weak? any help would be great it isn't having any effect on the performance of the bike but hate to ignore it incase it's something that could cause problems later

Anybody Know the Results from The White Rose Trial Yesterday?

When I was at a trial today I let a guy have a go on my bike as he was interested in getting one. He mentioned that at his next birthday he will be 80. Its one of the reasons why I like trials, is the fact that the main deciding factor is skill. I remember another guy I met a couple of years ago at a trial who I was talking to who was 78, riding a BSA C15, He was more than double my age riding a bike that was over ten years older than me, I was ridding a brand new bike and he finish on less than half my score . If I can continue till I

Looking into the weights of various bikes (250-300cc) Who makes the lightest bike? - I’ve already figured out the Mont is a bit too porky! * thinking of a light bike to hang on a Dave Cooper rack. Need to come in under 75kg (inc rack) for vertical towbar load. Cheers Boner.

Time for this nut to be exposed
