Hi All, just new to Trials and looking for some info on a 1964 TR20 Cub I bought (FMB 24B) I know it belonged to a HR (HB?) Pemberton from Colwyn Bay and was sold in 1971 to a Mike Worrall. Attached is the one photo I have but not sure who this is. Apologies if this in the wrong category Any info gratefully recieved

I am installing a new Mikuni and Boyesen reeds with the larger spacer block (moving the air intake bot aft a bit). Now my new carb won't fit between the carb boot and the air intake boot. Has anyone done this? do you have to trim 1 cm off the air intake boot? Thanks in advance.

I ride in the US and have a 1987 Beta TR 34 and a Fantic 240 Pro. One has to go as I set the spring lineup of bikes to ride this year. I am not a serious trials rider. Go to a 2-4 meets a year, ride novice and in my yard. I do it because it's fun and it helps so much with enduro, hare scrambles etc. Both bikes are in about the same shape. The Fantic my be a little nicer. The Beta is the best balancing bike and is a better pure trials bike. I think parts are much harder to find though. Worry that a crank or ignition failure might finish off the Beta. I like to ride really technical trails with lots of logs, off camber tight turns. Might run 12-14 miles in an afte…

Hello all - I'm a veteran sportsbike rider - Ducatis and Suzukis - but I started decades ago on a Yamaha enduro. I was just offered a 1970 Bultaco Sherpa T 350 that has sat in a barn for the past 40 years. It does not run, but the piston is not seized and turns over in the cylinder head. Are there adequate supplies of parts to restore this gem in the rough, or am I self-inflicting major brain damage if I do this project bike? Thanks!

I'm going to try classic trials on my new to me TY250. How wide is too wide? I just got a great pair from a friend that are 34.75" wide. that seems pretty wide, but, they have a shape I like. I can't cut them down much because of the narrow grip area. Thanks for your thoughts, I'm brand new to this.

As the original venue at Float Bridge is waterlogged Red Rose Classic MCCs trial this Sunday has been moved to Copy Pit BB10 4SZ. If you can please turn up early & help set out a few sections? Neil Chairman RRCMCC

I run my shocks with the body on the bottom..the non-sexy orientation....with the decals the right way up. Quite often someone will comment that this is incorrect...had it today at the Dabbers from my mate. He told me that his damping went off after a year, but by turning them upside down they had a new lease of life....but anyone in the Anglian area whom knows the rider of a much much modified white tanked red framed TY175, will also know he maybe tight as a ducks chuff but does know his stuff. So I googled the Betor website and according to their bumpf I'm correct. That said as the gas part is just a pressurised bladder over the oil to stop it foaming. I…

Hi I have a bantam - b175 engine running mikuni carb and electrex world ignition. Starts ok, bottom end is not bad (a little boggy), but the main problem is overrun. Open the throttle and Revs out but when the throttle is shut takes a good 3-4 seconds to drop revs to Tickover - but will Tickover ok. Any thoughts Cheers John

So, we all go on about events for the classics and then there are 4 on the same day. Why can't people talk to each other in order to avoid calendar clashes like this?
