tezza

She was a clean one, I got £950 for it, I put it on ebay, they were fighting over it,46 watchers in 12 hours and 20odd questions, most asking what I want for it, i ended the listing early. I was going to get an new ossa from appleyards £4999, but when I had chance of the Beta I couldn't see the ossa been £2000 better. I toyed with a 4t but was told they have massive engine braking and can have a habbit or putting you over the bars if you shut off to quick dropping off rocks ect, completley different riding style, for me it was better the devil you know.

Hi Guys, well i have just sold my trusty 03 Sherco 290, I just got my best result in a local boxing day trial so I thought it's time to treat myself, I had no idea which way to go, I wasn't to keen on the sherco been 5 speed, massive step from 3rd to 4th so that sort of put me off the sherco's, Anyway I have dived in a bought a 2011 Beta 290, 8 months old and road registerd, I think I got it cheap

Thanks lads, Ill sort out a 44t back sprocket and give it a go, its a bonus that the gearbox is in order

Well what do you know, lol 5 speed eh ! my mate has a 280 gasgas and its 6 speed, the thought my sherco should be the same. Well im glad it's ok its just that 4th is very tall, Ill check my sprocket, whats the best way to go, 1 off the front or 3 on the back to make 4th usable ? Thanks for help.

Hi Guys, this is my first post, after 10 years or road racing I have turned to trials, I have bought a 290 sherco and im having problems with my gears, It seems to jump from 3rd to 5th, no 4th gear ! no crunching or anything, the box is as smooth as a trials bike box can be so its riding like its only 5 speed, please dont tell me they only have 5 gears Any help much appreciated.
