Classic Trials

My brother and I rode a Somerton Classic trial today at Weatherhayes Farm. I always make a point of acknowledging those that organise, set up, observe, clear up and prepare the results. The trial today has to go down as one of the best, really good challenging sections, different lines to be picked if you used your imagination, well supported by observers, virtually zero queuing, excellent weather (not sure how they arranged that), plenty of fun, banter and laughs. 3 routes, 1 to suit all abilities, WELL DONE SOMERTON CLUB, thankyou to all involved for such a great days fun.

I'm looking for a sump guard for my Cub. I've seen this snazzy looking thing from Sammy Miller...er made of plastic. Can I ask whether anyone has fitted one of these and if they are robust. I'm guessing the alternative is the steel one from Meridan offroad

The Westmorland Motor Club are proud to be involved in the creation of the Nostalgia Bultaco Revival trial on 17th June, with Guest of Honour Yrjo Vesterinen. When Alan Lampkin heard he checked his own Bultaco, dormant in the shed for three decades, and with a gurgle of fresh fuel it fired up after just a few kicks - but all the bearings were dry and it had a naughty rattle, a mention to Peter Remington and out came the magic spanners and the bike was soon much more like her old self and ready to ride. That set the Lampkin family thinking so James will be riding the bike under a Lampkin banner, which anybody can join by calling 07761 073368 to donate 100% to Can…

Has anybody seen the results from last Sundays NBBR round organised by Midland Classic ?

Hi Guys I have recently purchased on ebay ( 1.85 x 21 Inch ) Front RIM with 40 holes. it looks bit more wider then i expected. looks more like rear wheel should i use it or it will look awkward/unusual . ? what do you suggest ? i want to use it for RE Bullet or DOT trials bike Thanks & Regards

Good evening All, I have some MZ forks fitted to a Bantam trials bike, the forks work ok, however I believe they could be much better. They are not progressive and once the initial movement and bounce has been taken up they then become less responsive and it takes a significant force to move them down past about 2 to 2.5", basically they become too hard to quick!!!!!! it is due to the springs as i have tried different weight oils. ordinary 35.00mm fork springs are too big on the diameter, I have tried some Sherpa ones. has anyone found a progressive spring that fits the MZ forks or any other suggestions that will improve the action?

This might be a rare bike, but £ 17,000 !? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132115175837

Anybody seen them ?

Hi, i have just bought a 1955 DMW trials/scrambler and have no information on the DMW marque. I have searched the internet but hardly found any information. I have also rang up norton villiers but they are of no help either. Does anyone have any information on these bikes or know where i can get it? Pictures would be great along with info on an owners club? Cheers, steve.

Building a Francis Barnett with a 32A motor and seem to have starting issues from cold. Motor has been totally rebuilt, new piston, crank, mains, seals etc and is fitted with a new Electrex world ignition and new Amal concentric carb from Villiers services. Running a Villiers service front pipe and Alan Wright WES silencer. From cold it doesnt seem to be getting enough fuel, but when you check the plug its fouled. Once hot, it runs and starts fine. Can anyone confirm the best plug to use with this set up and also what pilot jet should be in the Amal. Cheers

Hi Experts Can someone help me to identify the handlebar i got with parts lot. ? Thanks & Regards JH

I've inherited a Tiger Cub from my late father. The old boy bought it way back in the 70s as a trialer and intended to finish it off. He died nearly 40 years later having nearly finished it and now it's time for me to spend the next 40 years carrying his legacy forward. My thinking here is that it MUST be finished as he would turn in his grave if it got put onto eBay. So here is what we have. 21" front wheel, Triumph Mountain Cub forks and yolks, points in the side engine with electronic ignition, Ray Small wider swinging arm, a load of standard bits, a good trials tank and tinwear. Sorry for the preamble and onto my question. How strict are they on eligibility?…
