General Trials Talk

Forgive me for my ignorance but did did CCM make a trials bike I know they made a mighty fine MXer but a trials bike?

Has anybody had any performance issues susing the E10 fuel? My bike seems to lack the power it has when on e5 and also ticks over slot higher than normal? I've turned down the rev nut but it's still high and if I turn down anymore it won't start. Just curious if anybody else is having the same issues

i have turned my rear tyre around and it all went well until i went to put air into it, how do i get the beads to seat properly, i live not far from a tyre fitting garage so if all else fails i can nip it to there but it would be nice if i could finish the job i started.

Hi all I'm looking at swapped my rear tyre I was look for help on the best one to get

Got to be a Yamaha of one sort or another........ BUT.........is it the TY175..........TY80....... OR TY250 Mono....... Which sold the most...................my guess it's a TY175 Plus it was the base for specials like the Majesty and Whitehawk Everybody seems to have had one and you still see plenty still going strong after 25 years from new. Why were Yamaha so strong???????? Price? Build Quality? Reliability? Rideability? Sure they weren't the most competitive or radical............but this was part of their success...............certainly the best trial bike for the masses...... closely followed by the TY250 Mono What's your view..........did you have a T…

I could use some advice, I have a new 05 beta that started with a very slow air leak. I used some water and soap to find the problem area, and discovered that about half of the spokes are leaking air very slowly through the top of the nipple! I've never seen anything like this before, although i have heard that tubeless tires do leak small amounts of air. I tightened the spokes a bit using a spoke wrench, some of which were very loose. I was careful not to overtighten, just to make sure each had a nice 'ping' when you tapped it with the wrench. The problem has gotten worse. The tire has gone completely flat in 2 days. I don't think there is any leak from the tire itself. …

Which trials bike do you think was the best bike of its time as in was it really revolutionary; the introduction of the monoshock, first 2 stroke, the first chasis less bike? Whatever your reason which one and why? Obviosuly owning one i think it was the 1984 Yamaha ty250 with the first mono-shock, but hopefuly your not all as selfish as me!!! Rich

Looking at getting some boots, any opinions on these?? I need a wider fitting

Just wondering where I can get a pair of the neoprene fork gaiters?

I have replaced rubber band on rim .I have made sure band is down,but still cant get it to seal.I was wondering is there some trick to getting these bands to seal.If I pump tire pressure high it holds,but when I decrease pressure it leaks (the rim is on a 2005 200 gas gas)

Probably a very dumb question, but I really have nothing to compare it to since I am new to this. But noticed when I go for a trail ride (to get to my destination) its very uncomfortable and very hunched forward; it is an older trials but perhaps something I need to get used to? or are there trials with a more "enduro" erogonmic type of stance, if that makes sense? Yesterday when I went out to practice on very rocky terrain, i had a lot of pressure on my arms and wrist and lower back due to being hunched forward; again I am new to trials so just trying to fi gure it all out. Top it all off, I have "entered" my first trials event, so im sure I will get to experience a l…

my boy is bmx mad but i think it's time he had a trials bike. he is 12 now but never rode a motor bike of any discription, what i need is some imput from other trials riders about what bike to get him. i dont want to spend a fortune on a bike as it will only be something for him to learn on and also he may not like it ( you know what kids are like ) so if anyone could give me some advice on what to buy that would be great, something thats easy for him to start, ride and also repair, if he's going to have one he has to learn to service and repair it too......many thanks.

Wow.... How's this for a scoop of breaking news! Apparently Dougie rode a Gasser many years ago and no one knew!!!!! Well, that's according to the guy selling a Gasser on eBay (sorry can't link it as viewed using eBay app on phone) It's advertised as a 99-2000 and the guy he bought it from said it was Dougs bike... Innocent and naive or just a little dumb? PS: bike looks in good nick based on small pics on phone

HI,DOES ANYBODY KNOW OF A WAY TO SEAT A TUBELESS REAR TYRE,HAVE TRIED PUMPING UP WITH 150LTR COMPRESSOR AND NO LUCK THEN I TOOK IT TO KWIKFIT AND THEY FAILED TO DO IT.

Does anyone have an advice on shipping a trials bike overseas, UK to UAE. How much its likely to cost and which companies / shippers are best to use. Thanks

Recently there was some discussion on tc regarding the RTX trials, there is a secondhand one in tidy nick on the BVM site, look under used trials bikes.

Why do we not see videos on Trialscenteral of comps and back yard riding like on the bike trials sites? sam
