Hope to find more twin shock enthusiasts here, I know it is big in Europe, hope I can find someone local.

Hi all. I have a year 2000 Montesa 315r that needs a new rear brake calliper. Brake callipers for this age of bike are not available to buy new. does anyone know if the more modern calliper that fits the 2001 bikes onward and the 4rt can be made to fit the older bike? Any knowledge and advice would be greatly appreciated and would keep this good old bike competing in clubman trials.

Hi, have recently found a Sprite trials bike with a Triumph 500 twin. The log book has the bike as first registered November 1967 - the frame number is 606 (I think as it is pretty faint). The Triumph engine was manufactured in May 1961. From what I've read they were produced 1965 to early seventies. Does anyone have a list of the frames made, their serial numbers and year of manufacture? The bike is very well put together - looking at the last owner details, the bike has spent quite a bit a time over on the west coast of Scotland. If I can find the best section within the forum I'll post some photos, I've seen a few Sprites in the pre 1965 section, which this is no…

Hi all. First of all, sorry for my bad english... I'm French.😉 I started riding trial motorcycles at the age of 14, with a Yamaha TY 50. Then many other bikes followed such as Fantics, Montesa, Bultaco, SWM, Merlin, GasGas and Betas. I competed for quite a long time in the french championship. In the late nineties, i competed the SSDT. Then i stopped for many years. Now i'm back to trial for fun, with a Vertigo 250 R3.

hi im Rob north Lincolnshire just getting back into this sport, thinking of buying a vertigo vertical 300cc 2018

Hi guys, So here I am contemplating another bike. 2 years back I had my workshop broken into and my bikes stolen. My main ride was a KTM SXF 350 and I had a li'l Beta Rev3 250 2007 for messing about on. I incidentally got the Beta back after it had been dumped (it was a bit rough to be fair) however after retrieval I left it in my van over night to have it nicked again and that was 3 weeks later after the 1st theft hmmmm something fishy going on there me thinks. Anyhoo Vowed I wouldn't ride or buy a bike again!! Well my 'vow' isnt holding water, 2 years on and I'm feeling like ive lost a limb and am starting to look at trials bikes. My experience with trials is …

Hi All from not so sunny Spain, I´m a complete classic bike newbie, restoring my partners grandfathers ROA Super Foxter 200 (1960) and enjoying myself very much in the process.

New to trials. Raced MX for quite a while and so do my kids now. Bought a 1997 Beta Techno 250 for me and my kids to learn trials on. Have some trouble with my bike that I will post in the general section.

Hi , Ive just bought my first trials bike, 2004 Scorpa SY250

Recently picked up a post deployment present for myself, 2009 Gas Gas 300 TXT as my first trials bike. Wife appreciates the slow riding for now working on skills in the yard compared to the zipping around on the KTM 200.😃

Hello! I’m looking to get back into trials and have a question about a bike. I'm looking at a used 2017 Gas Gas contact 250. The reviews I read mentioned this was the first year gas gas got back into bikes after their bankruptcy. The article said it is a true trials bike but also makes a good trail bike due to the larger tank and removable seat. Any advice on this year and model bike? My main concern is that I’m buying a true trials bike, not one that is modified for trails riding. any advice, input, thoughts, etc are welcomed. Thanks!

Just getting back in to trials bought a 2007 txt 300 pro and needing some parts what’s the best place to look

Hello all first time post i have a montesa 348 had nearly a year had all sorts of problems, getting it sorted slowly but one thing i"m having trouble with is the clutch side crank seal done it twice and it"s still leaking sucking clutch case oil has measured the crankshaft this time and it"s worn down to 24.7mm has anybody used a SKF speedi seal on a crankshaft. thanks in advance Pete.

I'm having some issues with a newly rebuilt Bultaco Alpina clutch(#187). It has a new pushrod, ball bearing, mushroom, basket, hub, plates and steels, springs and throwout bearing. Clutch engages and disengages fine when I adjust it on the bench. But, when I start it and put it in gear I get a terrible squealing and it lurches. It sounds like a bearing trying to seize. I've changed out the throwout bearing and it still happens. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi, new member from near Winchester, UK. Rode Trials for 5 years from age 11 then went onto Grasstrack, Speedway and MotoX. Now aged 60 and been racing flat track for a few years and loving it. Just considering getting an Electric Motion (a cheap one!) so I can get more bike time locally and maybe even the odd trial.

Hi, just bought my first trials bike last week. picked up a 2006 Scorpa (Yamaha engine) and tips, drills, videos etc would be a great help Just wanted to say hi and hope to ride with some of you guys from here someday!

Hello Everyone, i have just bought a Beta evo 250, is there any good practice areas in and around barrow? i have had it MOT'd, taxed and insured so looking for places to have a mess around before im brave enough to enter a trial! thanks sam

Hi folks, New to the forum pages and finding my way around this site - and about to buy a Beta Evo 250 2T. I'm a very novice trials rider; I bought a 2012 Beta Evo a few years ago (turning 40 years old and wanted to try a motorcycle discipline I'd not done before) but went to work overseas and sold it - only had it maybe 12 months. I did a few events in the Cheshire area where I lived at the time and quite enjoyed it. I have since relocated home to the Redditch / Bromsgrove area and keen to find local training grounds, trials club etc to occupy me when I'm not green laning / working. I am not really familiar with the Worcestershire area so if…
