Classic Trials

hi,nearly finished building a 4 speed big bore bantam trials bike with pvl ignition and 22mm amal mk 1 carb and could really use some advice on where to start with carb settings ie,slide needle posistion pilot jet main jet etc any advice on this subject would be very welcome. regards bikestat.

sitting in a meeting in Midrand, and with useable internet connection, was wondering if there was a Classic Trials scene, twinshocks, in South Africa. Also love to know what bikes etc are around....

Hi, new to all this, I've just got my hands on a Montesa Cota 200 and this bike has a chrome frame and swinging arm, the engine number and frame number match, does anyone know if this bike was made like this, and what the worth of the bike is. It's a 1980 Montesa Cota 200 in very good nick. Cheers Mick

I have taken quite a bit of interest in the Sammy Miller Classic Trial series, So I thought whilst I'm out of action with a knackered knee, I'd take a look. I was really looked forward to it, although it was some distance to drive. Two and a half hours later I arrived at the Three horseshoes at Wheathill nr Ludlow in Shropshire, as the trial started at 10am I wasn't expecting many riders to be around. And there wasn't any ! but there was a few people walking around (including an observer)also looking somewhat lost and in search of the sections, but nobody could explain where the trial was taking place ! along with a few others I drove and walked around for an hour and lik…

Hello, does anyone know where I can get my hands on a new HT5 replica frame? I want to build a project over the summer months as I'm fed up sat in front of a computer at work. Ideally I'm after an oil in the frame version. Also interested in any complete bike ot projects that are for sale. Thanks in advance.......

ASs the title suggests, I am looking to get some rockshocks for a friend. Where is the best place to get them in the uk and how much will I pay. Yes I have falcons also...... lee

Wasn't sure where to put this link but stumbled across this site http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=e..._GB250%26sa%3DG There are 2 pages with a link to the second at the bottom of the first

It wer a great trial, even if Bilco crashed my bike at the end. here are some clips, all from day 2 at shollowford, Lynton lee http://www.myvideo.de/watch/3791646/Exmoor...ssic_Trial_2008 http://www.myvideo.de/watch/3793345/Exmoor...ssic_Trial_2008 http://www.myvideo.de/watch/3793477/Exmoor...ssic_Trial_2008 Chris Denny won last year http://www.myvideo.de/watch/3793625/Exmoor...ssic_Trial_2008

I am intending to build a Bantam trials bike from bits which are beyond any hope of restoration for road use. I have a frame and swinging arm already. Any tips would be appreciated but most importantly, what frame mods are essential. and which are advisory. Also, what are the options for front forks? I am no purist so all suggestions are welcome. I have heard that some Yamaha ones would fit, and more common than say, C15 ones, but am throwing myself at your mercy to advise.

I have a couple of bikes I would like to show at Malvern next year and I would quite like to do the autojumble too. I missed it this year as I was on holiday, I am about to book my holiday for next year and don't want to miss the show - does anyone know when it is being held yet? Cheers, Jim

Any help would be appreaciated. Haynes manual says you have to remove clutch, alernator, primary chain tensioner, and engine sprocket simultaniously (probably dropping all 25 beatings in the process) before removeing the cluth back plate to get access to gearbox sprocket. Is this the only way or are there any shortcuts ? Thanks.

Anyone think it would be a good idea to introduce rules to prevent twinshock going the same way as P65, or failing that to introduce a specials class where it would be quite ok to ride converted monoshocks, or expensive custom made hybrids built using parts from later bikes?

I have got a 1980 Montesa 123 and the rear brake pedal has seen better days. I contacted Sandifords and they informed that the part is NLA, so does any one have one lying around or know if they would be available in Spain? Cheers

so the sprinter is loaded with the 340....bilco will ride i think monday...there 110 entries so whos gonna be there lee

i have a 1979 sherpa t 250 with a a duff flywheel and stator plate i have seen the bottom half of a sherpa 350 engine for sale but only know its from the seventies a was wondering if anyone could help me i am hoping that the whole ignition system (stator plate coils etc ) will fit straight on to my bike with my system removed. any help most welcome cheers richie

Would like to update the steering on my original Godden framed Majesty, and thanks to someone on here have found a top guy able to do it for me. However the mods I have asked about would be quite costly (

In the process of getting my James ready for the dreaded m.o.t. as the Scottish i rapidly approaching So is there anything i need to do or make sure of as i have never m.o.t. d a trials bike before. Do i need a horn? reflector ? speedo? All advice appreciated

Hi All This is my first post. I'm located in Johannesburg South Africa. I currently ride classic trials on a circa '67-71 BSA Bantam that I built up. I am about to get a Cheetah Villiers trials bike which is mostly original and has some history, including participation in the Scottish six days. I believe that this brand was a "kit bike". Does anyone have any pics or info that I may use to assist me to restore it correctly. I intend to ride this one in classic trials too. Thanks in advance David Haines

Did the 1st round go ahead last weekend? Nothing in the TMX? Anyone got any results?

Hi Guys, I'm new. I live in Portugal and always loved doing trials but in a very "unpro" way. I mean I have limited time to ride the bike, so if ride the bike I often feel like it has sqaure wheels, flat tires, and it on purpose makes me fall. Anyway, I still have a brand new exhust pipe lying in my shed and don't know what to do with it. The problem is I don't really know for wich bike it is. I know I bought it years ago from a trials lover (sorry for my bad English, I'm from Belgium) so I'm quite sure it's suppose to fit on a Honda Trials bike. But wich bike? Here are the specs: HM446 Honda Krizman Spark Arrester Model 411 US Pat #3407575 SANKEI 2045 Hopefully …
