  1. It is I saw many out at Sunday's Trial Some lads were flying up banks, on them...making it look easy.................whilst other riders on the same bikes were sliding backwards on 4RT's
  2. Yamaha have a bike ready for the eTrials World Cup and so a bike, so a new TY could be on the cards, great news from the manufacturer with a massive history in the sport of Trials
  3. Floating disc, does it move on the bobbins?
  4. Look at routes, on a daily basis and all the info is in the excellent programme (which can be bought at parc ferme or shops on FW high street) I generally pick one in a morning, maybe one at lunch (if they are close together) and one at about 2-3pm Some days you can 3-4 sections in, other days maybe only one in morning and one in afternoon I usually park at least 0.5 to 1 mile away from a section and walk in, to avoid parking hassles..........however with a 5 year old this may not be possible, so get to a section early, park close and take something to amuse him, as you might have a wait for the bikes
  5. UK has gone soft.........in the 1980's all our RWD cars were equipped with wheels and tyres, with snow chains - ready prepped for snow
  6. Who supplied your Ohlins and how much are they? Have a look at Banyeres and HD Racing for your exhausts - the Mitani are fab Both give excellent service

    Bluetooth ECU

    Within 5 years bluetooth ecu programming and tuning with efi will become commonplace on new Trials bikes

    Bluetooth ECU

    It's cheap, give the trials rider it if he wants it..... in time he'll be able to remotely start his bike from the comfort of his van/car and be ready to ride at a trial Pedal cycles have come a long way, now we have ebikes which the rider can 'tune' Why not trials bikes, if it makes the rider happy - he will buy it Who cares if the bloke in the next van beats him on his Pre65 Cub,.............mr modern will have enjoyed his 'trick' bike

    Bluetooth ECU

    Just like my electric mountain bike.............easy-peasy nowadays

    Bluetooth ECU

    It's not radical though, a bluetooth control to alter the bike's tuning parameter's I have a Specialized eMTB and I can control battery life,power curves,route mapping and the ability to come home with 10% battery power remaining on a set route, by an app on my phone, it also measures distance covered and speeds and if displayed, on the bars......... can give me turn by turn directions All done by bluetooth to control and motor and very smart it is too No reason why Trials bikes can't have fully smart phone app bluetooth controlled ecu's - without spending £100's on PTB on a Mont Should all be on there in the first place......... on bikes costing £5-6000
  11. works for me, just fine
  12. Go to Venhill and ask for a longer one - maybe 2-3"
  13. Will another brand fit, in terms of rear master cylinder and caliper? Brembo/AJP?
  14. Any glitches? Some Connect's seem to run fine and others have loads of stupid issues, like sensors
  15. Is that a SWB Caddy? The 2 litre? or a Maxi?
  16. Looking to downsize to a smaller van, like a Caddy or Connect? Can you get a bike easily into the SWB Versions of each, with wheel turned Will 2 bikes fit? I am plumping for a 2 litre Caddy, but the new Connect is hard to ignore as it's a lot cheaper Anybody got experience of either brands?
  17. Well I did get the Hilux last year But ....... I did keep my Van as it only worth £1500 and I could not get a box trailer get that Glad I kept the van
  18. Indeed, biggest pain is section queuing at a small venue, especially on laps 2 & 3, when you just want to get on
  19. Why is the Beta back brake so bad? Do they use different components from other manufacturers?
  20. Go.............it's great Best show of the year
  21. Great news - especially Calendar Can you make the calendar less 'clunky' to view as you have to scroll up and down the month, to see the SUNDAYS Something with weekends/Sundays more prominent please
  22. Yep Tried a 18 Beta 300 yesterday and for me I much preferred the 18 250 I tried at Inch Perfect 's test day Much less intimidating for a Clubman Beta 250 was fab
