Hypocrite or selective memory?

Turn 16

I think they look fat

Bugger! I would have gone if I had known they had a trial on Not everyone buys the TMX, get yer trials on the TC Calendar

I bought a set for my 05 bike and they were about

Nope, last year I didn't get lost (much)

Is there a little square'ish tab on the outside edge? If yes, I'm pretty sure (but not 100%) that it should face the carb...

I used one similar to that for last years SSDT, it worked a treat but didn't need to use any fuel out of it

That Lampkin name pops up a good few times

20 years from now and I bet I'll still be getting stick for that

Thanks for the link, I need to contact them to say I won't be able to ride (Mothers Day on Sunday )

Anybody got any details for the club (Hillsborough?) that is running the Jack Wood trial next Sunday?

Wow! I've seen hundreds of push-bike trial videos and that definitely ranks as one of the very best.

... what about the people who don't want to own one?

There is an option for anyone not wishing to read posts by any user. Simply click on "My Controls" up near the top of the page then on the left under "Options" you'll see "Manage Ignored Users". Add that user and bang - they're gone. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I actually think that Mich Lin has clicked that button for every person on TC.com

Aye, mebbe you're right - I can't remember I tried it on an 02 Beta and it worked fine until the middle box melted the tube and sealed it up. Ran like a mangy dog because of the vacuum effect thingy...

There is a knack to getting the carb back on but getting it off should be easy enough, even on a new bike with stiff rubbers. Is there a foam/rubber tube type seal underneath the airbox lid? I once forgot to replace the foam when I fitted a new rear guard and found that the filter got very mucky without it. Also, if you have removed the wiring for the rear light - don't forget to silicone the 1/2" hole up properly. This will stop all the **** from the back tyre being thrown up and onto the filter. There is a thread somewhere on here with photo's of a drain pipe setup for the airbox if you can find it... As far as the exits go, the brass tubes on the left and right sides of the carb are vent pipes to allow air IN as the fuel goes OUT. I think the bottom pipe is the actual overflow for the carb. Fuel can leak out of the side pipes quite easily. Somebody (BillyT?) suggested connecting the vent on the exhaust side directly to the pipe underneath the carb. The vent near to the choke lever is capable of sucking enough air in to the carb to prevent a vacuum.

A decent bit of debate without the usual p*** taking and slagging each other off

Got mine today Did the bloke guarantee you a full refund if they get ruined on rocks?

Can I interview you for the website? I don't think we've had a gay Trials rider before. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He may be female!

Quite a few of the Lancashire clubs run a 50/50 route

Good reply, cheers

After reading the letter from 'Scottish Hopeful' in last weeks TMX, I kind of agreed with one or two of his points. In particular, "The bottom 20-30 of the entry automatically forefeiting their ride for the following year". Pro's It appears to make a bit of sense I suppose as the lucky wobblers that got a ride are forced to make room for next years SSDT hopefuls. Cons James Dabill missed a group in 2004 and was excluded for it. The bottom 30 finishers would say "I can't ride next year but neither can he, in fact I beat him this year ". The SSDT would look very silly if riders of his calibre were not allowed to ride. I have just read your response to 'Scottish Hopeful' in this weeks TMX and you say "It can't be much fun finishing so far down the entry after 6 days riding". Wrong! I finished 12th from the bottom last year and was very chuffed to have completed the course without getting lost (again), without killing the bike and without getting in anyone's way or wasting valuable resources like the 'Mountain Search & Rescue Team' To say that these riders are taking an extended trail ride around the Highlands is a bit much The infamous 'SSDT in-betweeny-bits' are NOT a steady trail ride round. Well, not at wobbler level they aren't anyway... PS I don't expect you to reply but it would be reet grand if you did...

Must be a prototype 'hinge' job
