General Trials Talk

Andy's survey, and a few recent posts from people who hide behind the anonymity of their signature, have made me think. Would the forums not work better if our real names were displayed on the member

The stickers on my Electric Motion are beginning to look a little tired so I'm thinking of getting a Jitsie sticker kit rather than taking out a mortgage for the EM OE kit. Just to be a bit different I'm thinking of getting the "Stealth" version that is virtually all black, white or grey. I can't see a photo anywhere of it fitted though and I'm concerned it might look drab, especially against the black frame. Has anyone got one? And what do you think of the look? And what's the quality like?

If anyone out there is looking to have their barrel repaired, try Langcourt at Weston-Super-Mare(advertises in Trials & Mx news). I had a cracked barrel which had been botched by a previous owner, I sent the barrel down to Langcourt (I live in the north east of Scotland) and received it back 2 days later. The standard of the repair is excellent (I thought it was a new one!) and the engine now no longer consumes 9 gallons of water everytime I start it up, the cost?

Any one know where to get parts for making cables?

whats the most enjoyable trial you have done all year?? mine has gotta be the Banovallum two day in June, what a weekend, band... beer... BBQ!

Does anybody know anything about tubeless valves?,i bought one today from a local(sandifords montesa) dealer,he said it will fit any rim,but theres no way i can get the bloody thing through the hole in the rim.I`ve tried soap,oil etc but no joy.My mate says its the wrong one.Aparrently there is a couple of difrent sorts,threaded ones and non threaded,which is the one that i have been sold.Obviously the part i got was for a mont,my bike is a sherco.Any thoughts ideas gratefully accepted.

Just fitted a Michelin X light to my bike and was wondering whether the forum members would advise running a bit of silicon sealant (or bead sealer) around each bead to hold the tyre in place or whether just to leave as? Andy

It will be my first time at sheffield this year, so i was wandering what its like? and if there is any hints about what time to arive there as the show starts at 7 but im not sure wether to arive earlier or not? Thanks

Cane across this article about an electric trials bike. Sorry if you've seen this before, but I must say I am impressed! http://plugbike.com/2011/11/17/electric-motion-em-5-7/

Hi all, being new to the sport I have got my first trial at earl shilton on the 9th of December and was wondering what sort of tyre pressures should I be running for what conditions ? I have got an 09 txt pro 300. Cheers, matt

If you have something of that vintage, feel free to use it! #!

I would anyone have an idea on how much it would cost to powder coat a frame for a 2011 shero trials bike. The person who had the bike before me didnt look after the frame at all. Theres some rust and 2 dints where the forks have hit the frame.

Hi Folks, have been riding forever, (well 37 years anyway....!) stumbled onto this site and registered, looks like an excellent forum. As stated above, i have a '99 TXT-270, and believe it or not,i just started it up (3rd kick) for first time this year. Hadn't been since last fall. Anyway, it runs fine, but clutch is slipping terribly. Didn't seem to at first, but the longer i rode it, the worse it got. Sure didn't the last time i was on it. Any suggestions ? Certainly do appreciate any help you can provide this dinosaur with. complete regards, 5bike

My bike runs ok but when you get it to high revs it sticks and it isn
