Greeves

I have a good friend in South Africa who has a Greeves 250 Anglian (Frame No. 24THSA...) The original swingarm bolt has been replaced with a piece of Metric threaded bar. I've done a bit of reading on the 'Net and what I have managed to find is that the Anglian swingarm pivot bolt is 5/8" UNF. Is that correct? Thanks in advance

Here's an old Brochure of my brother riding a Cotton Bogwheeler. Thought I'd share.

Can anybody point me in the right direction of where to go for a 60 tooth sprocket for my '58 Scottish, please? Thanks.

There are not many Photo's of Greeves trials bikes in the Gallery apart from a Scottish, so I dug out a few of my own A TES from Sammy Millers Museum.

Just finished rebuilding my 24tes New seals, bearings,rebore piston and was advised to go for a new amal now I have two new problems, first she's an absolute pig to start tried flooding it with the tickler no choke then with choke then after loads of kicks she'll fire then on to fault 2 it will tick over for about 10 seconds then it will rev to the max and can't be stopped on the kill switch only using the gearbox and brakes, it's got new gaskets on the inlet and a new oring on the carb, so now I've dropped on the original amal monobloc and with one tickle fired up with two kicks it runs ok but it's really wooly of the bottom, does anyone have any ideas is it me or is thi…

I just finished reading an article on Don Smith.I really admire that era of riders because many of them did it all as far as develope,build and ride well. I don,t know much about Greeves other than I like the unique looks and would love to try one out.It had a picture of him on his newly debuted 1964 SSDT bike that he had modified and extensively lightened. I,m just curious what the production one weighed and if anyone has an idea as to what his modified bike weighed? From what I,ve read it seems like Mr. Smith would have been great fun to hang out and ride with as well as learn from.

I'm part way through rebuilding the engine on my 24 tes greeves and was wondering if anyone knows the torque settings for the four alloy tube bolts that bolt the barrel and head to the cases

Hi, I have a Greeves bitsa, basically a 1960 SCS Hawkstone, which has been set up for trials with footrests mounted on the s/a spindle, brake pedal shortened to suit, trials engine plates complete with side stand, Parkinson conversion with thick Tufnol spacer and a trials top fork"yoke" with the ends of the curve pointing forward. Is it the case that all the fork main "H" pieces are the same and a scrambles top yoke with ends of the curve pointing backwards will convert the forks to scrambles trail?. I also think I'll need scrambles engine plates which give a slightly different weight distribution?. I've read the books and done the googling but am stumped, any ad…

Hi sorry to sound dumb Just picked up a greeves Scottish 24 tcs Could anyone let me know the optimum 2 stroke oil to use in this bike and what recommended ratio Cheers in advance

I'd appreciate it if someone could put a caliper on the stanchion tubes of their early or late (banana) leading link fork and tell me the diameter and wall thickness. I have a hazy memory that the banana fork is 1.75" /44.5mm OD but I don't have any notes confirming that. I think the wall thickness was .062"/1.5mm. I've never had a chance to measure the early 1960s fork so I don't know if the tubing size was the same. If while you are there you could tell me the size tubing in the link that would be nice. thanks, Michael

Does anyone know how much oil and what weight for a set of 35 mm Griffon (Ceriani type) forks? Any help would be appreciated Thanks Geoff

Frank held the major Greeves parts stocks in the USA for many years. http://www.greevesguru.com/ That page on Frank's site says that Frank died this morning, but Kenny Sykes will sell the remaining stock at some future point. Michael

I posted this question in the classic section, I suppose I should have put it here. I have a totally standard 1958 Greeves Scottish in road going trim. I intend to make a few modifications to improve its off road use. My main concern is what gearing should I be using? Oh, it's a 9E 197cc Villiers engine. It will be used in easy route club trials. I also want to change the standard exhaust to a lighter more robust type. Are there any off the shelf bolt on systems available for the Greeves? Thanks in advance for any information. Many thanks SJL
