Classic Trials

Hi, does anyone have details of the construction of the 1950's Canterbury trials sidecar bodies. I have a chassis and want to build a body. I have quite a few pictures of the outside, clearly aluminium, but don't know if there is a ply or ash frame and floor. I would be grateful for any information, dimensions would be great. Thanks

Good evening all thought I would ask this in the classic section as many of you would have had need for this..I have a gas gas pampera & would like my rear wheel rebuilt..any suggestion for a man that knows his stuff?.. Ideally in the south east save posting etc..thanks in advance

Hi Guys Can someone measure the front front length ( from Axle bolt till the top yoke ) for standard trialing fork. Thanks & Regards

It’s about time I started again on the Cub prep. I’d appreciate your opinions on the following 2nd gear 26/19 - is it worth the effort and expense? PVL or HPI - the only experience I’ve had with PVLs is to understand they are pretty basic with little advance. thanks in anticipation

Has anyone any experience of shortening a triumph 3ta frame, by cutting 2" out the top tube. Any advice would be welcome. Ps i am not looking to change headstock angle.

A few years ago I bought a couple of brand new oval alloy barrels from a supplier who shall be nameless in the UK and fitted one to my trials Cub. After about two events it had smoke and oil spewing out all over the place and required stripping. I found that the liner had spun in the barrel which misaligned the oil drainage holes resulting in the problems I experienced. I tried contacting the supplier who ignored me completely and I would add that the supplier wasn't UPB, AWR or Armac, but he is well known around the UK. Can anyone tell me if this problem was rampant or was I just unlucky getting a couple from a bad batch, I have always been afraid to use the ot…

We have had to cancel the Goodwin Shield Pre-67 Trial planned for February 25th at Bagshot Test Track due to issues with the land agent. We will try to have the trial at a different venue later in the year. It is very frustrating to have the same land pulled twice in as many months.

Hello Could some one give me an idea what to tell the insurance company regarding value? We thought £1500-1700? Its a bog standard 1962 C15, been stored in the dry for the last 30 odd years, we need to insure it against theft whilst we decide what to do with it as we just have too much stuff going on. Its 99% complete but needs recommissioning as it hasn't ran for years Thanks

Hi everyone. i have recently acquired a DOT 250 trails off my father and I want to start competing in some classic trails events. The only problem being that I can't seem to get the engine running.

Hello all, I'd like to build a pre-unit trials bike and am looking for any help and info on what would be the best way to go in regards to what make and parts to start hunting down. I'd prefer something either Ariel or AJS based but could consider others such as Triumph twin or Norton. So any advice on suitable engines, frames, etc. that are sometimes available (for not stupid money) would be greatly appreciated. I am not on a budget as such but neither would I want to pay a kings ransom for every part and end up with a bike that wasn't worth half of the build cost. I may as well just buy a nice bike to start with, which I would do but they don't seem to come up…
