Weather wasn't to bad either.

According to the bible(Rupert Ratio) the bearing is a 6305.Simply Bearings
have a good selection of bearings at realistic prices.I fitted a smaller primary
sprocket so had to take a bit of the crankcases and instead of fitting a seal I
used a sealed bearing and removed the seal nearest the crank.

Jim,on Alf my C15 I have a bantam/cub rear hub fitted with a Talon
sprocket(Sammy Miller Products),I used the old steel sprocket as a
spacer and bored the hub out and used 6mm stainless bolts and
nylocs to retain the sprocket.

Quick update on the front brake.Worked a treat,no problems,great
trial yesterday the auld TY went well.Thanks for all the advice.
cheers the noo Brian
-
Stripped the front brake out today,gave the drum and shoes
a rub down with emery paper(a wee bit rusty),cleaned and
lubed the pivot.Put it back together and centralized the shoes.
Rode it round the garden and no lock ups will see how it goes
on Boxing day.
cheers the noo Brian
-
Andy M, its a standard brake,will strip it out and give it a good clean
then centralize it.
cheers the noo Brian

Was out getting the TY ready for Boxing Day and riding round the
garden and after using the front brake the front would lock up
with the brake lever released and the lever was solid.Then the
next time I used it the lever was fine,it has done this previously
at events but has never locked the wheel before.It has a brand new
cable and the shoes are good(could the drum be worn needing over-
sized shoes).Any ideas ???
cheers the noo Brian
-
Had a wee look at this years calender Don't know if any events where cancelled
but the numbers are 11 MX,32+ Trials(probably nearer 40),12 Road Race,14
Enduro/hare and hound and 8 Quads.The number of trials in Scotland is nearly
the same as the other disiplines put together,think that's why most riders are a
bit peeved with whats happening.

Hi there I got the carb. from Amal.I phoned them to order the carb. and
spoke to a really helpful bloke who sorted out the jetting as they have
loads of info concerning carburation,Fitted the carb and it only needed
a slight adjustment.Think I've got it noted somewhere I'll have a look and
if I find them I'll let you know.
cheers the noo Brian
-
Well that's Alf's year finished,finished his last trial today.Nearly managed a full trial
but the chain came off on the middle of the last section on the last lap.I couldn't see
anything obvious to cause this apart from a build up of muck around the front sprocket?
I don't run a chain guard would this help stop some of the muck getting trapped ?
Alignment is ok/tension ok and its new chain and sprockets anybody had anything
similar?

Most clubs charge £6 for club trials,think £2.50 for insurance then the price of a permit,
then pay the land owner in some cases, doesn't leave much.Only the big clubs(multi-
discipline e.g. road race due to gate money and other income raised by high entry fees)
will be able to absorb some of the the cost.
cheers the noo Brian
-
OTF, I ride both S.A.C.U. and AMCA events and guess what they are both
the same in some cases the AMCA events are more relaxed/friendly=fun.
cheers the noo Brian
-
The new licence fee is £34.99(inclusive of an £8 for
riders personal accident insurance) bonus as last the
licence was £43,Then we get hit for a £5 levy per rider
per event .
cheers the noo Brian
-
Ross,now you have to pay a £5 Tax to do your hobby.People will
try to tell you that it might make little difference but you will still have
to pay the Levy(tax).That's all disciplines so over the year that's quite
a bit extra going to the SACU.
What's the score with riders in England?
cheers the noo Brian
-
Until tam gets a date sorted out don't forget Hoggy's Trial(Lothian Trials Club) on
the 10th of November up at Kidlaw(that's a Saturday).Always a good lap and well
suited to twinshock/Pre 65.For more details and directions go on the Lothian Trials
Club website or the calender on the trials central homepage.
cheers the noo Brian
-
It on the road to St Mary's Loch.
cheers the noo Brian
-
Was up with Tam yesterday to look at the new ground near Moffat.Cracking bit of
ground,its like Kinlochleven meets Alvie.It'll be well worth the effort to get there.
Moffat is in Dumfries and Galloway not far from the M74 and the ground is about
5 miles south east of Moffat. Beautiful gullies with something for everyone,so all
going well and Tam gets the date get the bike out for its last blast of the year,
before the long dark nights set in.

Turps the classic club are running a trial at Rigside on the 28th of this
month.Never rode one of their trials but I'm going to give it a bash.
cheers the noo Brian

Tam when's your next trial?As I'm getting withdrawal symptoms and need my twin shock fix .
cheers the noo Brian
-
Cracking trial yesterday at Hume.Excellent sections all do able,all challenging,well
flagged out and a decent lap.What more could you ask for.Its a shame that Tam
got a small entry(where are all the riders from Tam's first trial?,I know the 2 day was
on a Fintry).Looking forward to Tam's next trial.Lets hope more riders turn up and
show support for Tam's next trial.

Had a good ride out on Sunday my first proper blast on Alf,raising the engine has
made a massive difference also new carb. has made it perform alot better.Had a
big score but mainly due to missing out a few sections and a couple of wee hic-ups.
The rear shocks are solid so new ones will be fitted for my next outing.Charlie thanks
for your offer of assistance.
cheers the noo Brian
-
Looking forward to Saturday Tam,think I've got a couple of new riders coming down,your trials are well laid out for the Twinshocks/Pre 65's.£6 for a days trialling Braw!!!!!!!!!.
