UK Trials Talk

Hi guys,I fell off again and this time broke the welded plate on my middle exhaust box,I took it to a local welding firm who tried to aluminium weld it, it wouldn’t take. So can anyone please advise what type of welding I need for this or if it’s possible. It looks as if it had been done before as there was splatter and burn holes,cheers guys

Hello All - Can anyone recommend some twinshock dead easy trials events in the North England (Ideally around the Peak District)? Thank you Moray

See the link below https://www.trialscentral.com/news-archive/sub-headlines/21115-british-championship-returns-to-stop-allowed What's people's thoughts? Personally I think it sounds kinda silly. Even if you don't like the current fim rules I always think you should follow them to best help our riders that compete on the world scene.

Does anyone know what,if any benefit a little rear suspension sag gives please?My TRRs has none with the standard spring compressed 8mm

Could anyone give me a contact for the above as I no longer appear to be able to get onto their site. Google says Insecure?? Thanks

So, with Doug out Dibs should win but others? Price or J Peace should be next favourite, but is it a wildcard year? Sadler, Kendrew? Cant see it being anyone else. Moors will be very wet, but forecast for the day looks dry and cool.

Sad passing of Rob Edwards yesterday - one of the true gents of Trials and works Montesa rider from the 1970's and 80's

i build a new bike = dose frame and bike need to be homologated or safety checked like a kit car check to compete in a acu event for insurance purpose or will i just be covered when i enter a trial with it

Evening all, Anybody on here riding the Manx this weekend? I'm riding it for the 1st time (below-average clubman rider!) - and don't really know what to expect! The event coincided with a family campervan trip...and a rush of blood to the head later, I had an entry! Any pointers or ideas on how to refuel, greatly appreciated! Cheers,

Does any one knows where I could get a list of all past winners of the British Trial Championship ?? Thank you

Down in Cornwall for a three week break and nipped in today. In this day of online everything, thought I'd give a shout out to a proper off-road 'bricks and mortar' store. Excellent! There are so few 100% off-road stores now (I am old enough to remember Windsor Comp Shop, Comerfords et al from my time in the south) but we should all support them. Do support your local (or not so local for me) trials shop!

I've been trying to call Vic for a couple of weeks now to order some bagged observer sheets. So far, I haven't had a reply. Have also tried email in the past without success. Does anyone know if he is still in business? Or, failing that, an alternative supply? Thanks

If money was no object, what “current” trials bike would you buy, and why ? you may already own it !!!... post a picture of your dream bike ......

On the 8th June Mansfield Maun Trials hosted their first ACU Training Day of the year. Open to adults and kids the day aims help riders of all abilities, with training provided by some top quality riders from the East Midlands Center. For this event we were lucky enough to be helped by Donna Fox, Jess Bown, Chris Alford and Matt Dixon. A great day was had by all despite the moist conditions!

Hi folks. I've just joined Zona1 and was hoping to go and practice on Friday morning but I need a playmate. Anybody going on Friday? I know most members organise thir time there on faecesbook but I really dont want to join FB?

Hi, Could any one recommend a courier to ship a set of wheels (within UK) Cheers

Bassenthwaite & DMC recently donated £500 to two local good causes, £250 to Friends of Mary Hewitson Hospital Keswick presented by Club member Richard Gaskell to Mr Mike Bulman & Mrs Dorothy Savage and also £250 to Cumbria Blood Bikes presented by Club members Stuart Gaskell and Lewis Gaskell (on bike) to ex TT sidecar driver Rob Fisher The money was raised from the club's summer evening Charity trials.

I’ve slowly started getting back into trials. I’m now keen to have a bash at some local events but I’m wondering what bigger events are out there I should look at? The Scott and Jocko 6 are two I’d really like to try at some point. I’ll only ever be clubman class at best. Happy to try anything though as long as it involves lots of riding! Any others?

I mainly just use my bike practicing at cowm quarry on the weekends but iv decided i want to start doing some trials. Does anyone know how i get involved and where the trials are? Preferably as close to wigan as possible.

We are losing one of the very few trials orientated retail businesses in the South of England, Jamsport near Farnham Surrey. My best wishes to Ian Allaway intrepid trials sidecar passenger, and the owner/manager of Jamsport for the last 34 years. The only person I know who can date a trials bike by touch! Thanks for all your enthusiasm, help, new bikes, accessories and cups of tea. All the best for the future. Mick M
