UK Trials Talk

Anyone noticed a difference running E10, the Scorpa was flat on Sunday and I'm thinking this might be the reason?

Hi please help I am looking at buying this bike and want to know what year it is

Hi, can anyone recommend or know of a garage in. Bolton / Manchester area ? Think I need my crack seal doing on my 2010 sherco 125. Thanks

I bought my first trials bike in December last year, rode it for the first time Sun Jan 3rd... ..and not again until lockdown allowed in April. I'm a cowardly novice that can do rudimentary basics, but that's it. I've entered a Sidcup Club (Canada Heights) practice trial as I'm keen to try real sections and learn more, but know I'll be either getting fives or taking fives everywhere! Will my lack of ability frustrate more seasoned riders, or is it accepted (dare I even say encouraged?) that new riders need to start somewhere?

Hi I am in need of a rear brake caliper or rebuild kit. Any idea if or where I can get one? Thanks.

Does anyone have a link to the BTC round 1 results?

Can anybody help to source a rear mudguard for it sick of looking now like rocking horse poo to find.

Hi I am new to this forum and I would like to give a brief introduction. My name is Richard and I am from Sheffield, South Yorkshire, over the years I have had many bikes and restored quite a few mainly classic 2 strokes. Any how i have just acquired my first trial bike, and I am trying to identify the correct model and year of the bike. I think its a Montesa Cota 200 but I am not sure. The Frame number is 29 M02504, and the engine number is 28H00420, does this seem correct. many thanks in advance for any info you can give me. Regards Richard.

if you want to race an enduro or MX event (we're not talking top level circuit racing), as a Clubman or do a 4 day trial as a social or a classic event For a £5000 Trials bike, you will need to lodge a £2000 returnable deposit to cover import and export of your bike for a Sporting Trial Copied from TBM - Trailbike & Enduro Magazine BREXIT - the gift that keeps on giving.... The ACU just now issued a press release that explains how racing motorcycles being taken to European events now need a carnet to travel. And it's the opposite of cheap, check out the following section of the release: "The Auto-Cycle Union has secured a spe…

The ACU has just issued a detailed briefing on the Carnet System for importing and re exporting goods into and out of the EU, now that the UK has declined ongoing membership of that particular club. The Carnet system is quite a faff for the amateur and I know the music industry is up in arms about it. However on the Gov UK Customs/Revenue website it seems to say 'personal imports' of 'sporting goods,' giving a longish list which includes cars and motor bikes, will not be included. In that case would the whole Carnet documentation still be required. Or am I just an optimist? Of course this assumes the government will let us out again one day. Does anyone know how this mig…

i think it was around 2 years ago since i sold my last bike and have always missed a sunday meet since recently ive been looking for a used bike to get back out riding and for some reason the bikes i was riding and selling on to upgrade ect are worth nearly twice they were 2 years ago i mean im seeing 15 year old shercos priced ar over £2000 i remember selling a 05 sherco 250 in 2010 for £1200 and i had a 2012 gasgas 280 and in 2016 sold it for £1900 so how come now id need to part with almost £3000 for the same bike ? that is just to name a couple of examples what have i missed? lol

I’m in a predicament I have a dented fork slider on my 05 montesa. From calling around today I cannot get a replacement in North America as they are on extended back order with no ETA. I need help figuring out who in the UK to call. I’m open to new or used part. Is there a big montesa dealer than might have one in stock? I was already given Mickey Oates as a possibly but they are closed all week for the holiday. I have an even in 2 weeks and I’d really like to find a solution. thank you.

Hi, is there a go to bike for beginners? my son is 18 and I’m looking for a bike for him. He’s never ridden a motorbike before so I’m expecting something easy to look after also.

Is there anywhere supplies a stainless front pipe for a Seeley RS200......?? Thank you..

Hi, rebuilding a Bultaco Sherpa. Rims and hubs are good but would like to get them respoked. Could anyone recommend a wheel builder in Lancashire / NW area? Cheers

I see from the coverage on Facebook and ACU, that this last weekend's Devon round, had only 1, yes.......a single Championship Class rider and that was Iwan Roberts What is going on ? (I know Covid) The Trial2 and Trial Expert Classes & Trial 125 were well supported So is this what the British Championship has become? Too many classes, no blue riband British Champion?

Is it a daft idea or not?

The club i have most often competed with in the past have resumed events, but say that they are only accepting entries from club members. This year im not a club member of said club (mostly because of covid), im a member of no club, and because they aren't accepting any more members in 2020, i cant compete for another 5 months (maybe this will change in the near future). Ive noticed a lot of clubs throughout the UK are taking this stance, for reasons ranging from 'limited to numbers' and 'we want to support riders who have supported us pre covid'... Im a little vexed by this, and feel its a little discriminatory (and i am not the usual person who feels discriminated over …

Seems like other countries are boxing on with organising trials again... certainly France anyway... seen a 3 day event is happening in August and they are taking entries. Wonder how long it will be before clubs start putting events on over here again......

Hi there UK trial-mates! I'd like to get a nice portable cleaner that is unfortunately just available for UK shipping. https://www.jetwet.co.uk/product/jetwet-portable-power-washer/ I'm from Germany and so I'm looking for a nice trial-mate who would be kind and forward the parcel to Germany. Of course I'm going to pay all shipping costs to Germany in advance. I got some Boyesen power reeds and carbon fiber reeds for some Sherco bikes. One of them as a free gift for the helper! ? If not I'll find another way to say thank you.
