[Txt Pro Wheel Swap]

I don't mind a few mods, as I'm only going to use it for practicing

[Txt Pro Wheel Swap]

Thank you for the help , I'll keep looking for a pro wheel then

[Txt Pro Wheel Swap]

Will an early gasgas TXT rear wheel fit a later TXT Pro model?

 

I’m after a replacement wheel, and I have found an earlier one for sale at the right money!

 

[What Dya Think To The Color Of My Bike?]

I'm old and have been know to have a go on an xbox

[How To Tie Bike Down In Back Of Van?]

Which do you think might be worse, being held under slight tension against a bulkhead or suddenly fully compressed against a rock face in second gear (which is what they are designed for)?

Bikes have been transported your way for decades with no apparent problems.

 

 

 

been doing it for 20+ years without a problem!

[2013-2015 Crank Bearings]

I have an 04 250 pro and it still has the same bearings as when I purchased it 6 years ago (I've never touched the motor), I change the oil every 6 or 7 months! and it still runs as good as the day I purchased it!

 

do people really change there oil every 4 hours, that means I would be changing mine 15+ times a year !?!?!?!

[Stafford Auto Trial]

Thank you

[Stafford Auto Trial]

I've had another look, I can still only see November's results?

[Stafford Auto Trial]

Are you sure, I can only see the results from November?

 

Or could just be me as I’m useless on facebook!

[Stafford Auto Trial]

Does anyone know where I can find the results for last Sunday's trial?

[Earl Shilton Concrete Ruins]

Does anyone know what the concrete ruins were at Earl Shilton?

[Sludge In Oil]

look on the brightside.. it  was in the trap.. clean it all up put fresh cheap oil in and run for 1 hour, make sure the oil is returning to tank than empty it out clean it up again and run proper oil for 5 hours ( two trials ) between changes..

 

Yes, thats what I have done, did it for 15min with some cheap 20/50 & engine flushing fluid

 

And just done it again after an hour on 20/50

 

Sounds fine, but I was just worried about the big-end as they are quite a fragile engine!

[Sludge In Oil]

Just bought a BSA B25 and stripped it down for a service, on inspection I found quite a lot of sludge/carbon in the oil tank strainer, is this normal?

 

Don't think its dirt as the bike's never been offroad

 

When I collected the bike it ran fine,

 

All the bikes I’ve previously owned have always been clean

[Keeping A Bike In A Shed]

I’ve kept my bikes in a shed for a few years now, but this winter it seems extra damp.

my bikes are constantly wet, I’ve tried a small tube heater but it hasn’t helped

Does anyone else have this problem?

[How Often Do You Clean Your Air Filter?]

When I started doing trials I was cleaning my air filter every ride

Most of the time it was still spotless clean, so now I only clean it every 3-4 trials (unless its dusty)

Does anyone else do this?

 

 

[Dunlop Trials Tyre]

What's the difference between the D803F and the D803GP?

 

and are the D803F front tyres any good?

[Dudley District Mcc Club Trial. Where When?]

Was a very good trial, shame it wasn't better supported. There can't have been any more than 10 of us . On the plus side there were only a few sections unobserved

Shame it wasn’t better advertised, not everyone wants to buy the TMX News, maybe it would be better to advertise on TC fixtures or a least put the details on the ACU?

[Super Mini Sized Trials Bike Build]

Maybe you could do with a longer swing arm?  

[Villiers Gearbox Bearing]

I would guess Loctite is the way to go

[Worth Rebuilding?]

What’s the going rate for a full engine rebuild?

[Wheel Run-Out]

What’s an acceptable amount of wheel rim run-out?  

 

I have a few workshop manuals and they all recommend checking run out when tightening spokes but none give actual tolerances!

[Stolen - Hampshire (Bransgore)]

What security did they defeat?

 

help others make it harder for the thieving scum!

[Homemade Trailer]

Someone told me today that all trailers should have a chassis plate or the police can seize it.

 

I know all new trailers need a SVA cert, but I built mine a few years ago (before the new law)

 

Do I need to fit a chassis /vin plate?

[Ignition Advance / Retard ?]

Depends what RPM idle is set at. Quite a few 2t ignitions rise from 0 advance at 400 RPM to say 7 degrees at 800 RPM.

 

 

Edit - Electrex should be able to supply and ignition map

 

 

I was always under the impression that 2 strokes had more advance at lower RPM (due to poor cylinder scavenging) and the curve retarded with higher rpm. The opposite to 4T engines?

[Another Blow To Super Cub Trials Projects.]

Hi Guy's.

 

Hi Ken,

 

It is the old adage, that If you have a name like DL or SM at the time you make your own rules in the sport. and know one takes a hout,

 

Because it is good for the sport to have these names caring???? and they are not doing it for financial gain?

 

The big mistake with my "MiniOtter" SCT, was that I did not have a life sized poster of these two made and place it behind my bike when I brought it to light. and first photographed it.

 

There would have been NO problem then. and we would have had a cheap little Classic bike to have fun on.

 

Regards Charlie.

Doubt very much SM would been seen dead on a bike made from Chinese bits  

 

And as pointed out it’s not really a cheap bike, when a decent twinshock could be purchased for less!

 

And who gave it classic status?
