Looks like they used fiddle bikes then as well, D14 / B175 with centre fire Head? Not really pre65, nice bike though

This thread has gone quiet?

Forgot that one! (And that’s one I’m guilty of) One with two wheels is a good start...

Top Three questions, guaranteed to start some arguments? 1 What oil ratio should I use? 2 Is my bike pre 65 eligible? 3 Can I use a bike rack on my car?

Locked up sounds good to me Unfortunately the bottom end substantial, this is a pre60 heavyweight model

I’d say it was more of a whine than a rattle, but can turn to high speed chatter!

Not sure but I think the mother-in-law needs a rebuild, we had her round for Christmas and there was a lot of rattling coming from the top end! Anyone else had this problem?

Fair point

Can’t see point, if you use the correct tools it takes a few minutes to remove them properly! without damaging the legs

Funny how many rare bikes turn up on ebay…! £2000+ for spares / repairs http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUZUKI-RL325-BEAMISH-A-PROPER-BEAMISH-CLASSIC-VINTAGE-TWIN-SHOCK-TRIALS-/141068454925

Maybe you could start practicing what you preach? He’s 13 what’s your excuse?

Who sells them, the only place I can find is ebay and they are dearer than IRC & Michelin?

Call your local trading standards office, I got my boots replaced within a few days The people at trading standards were very helpful

I've just purchased a cub frame for the Stafford show, does anyone know what size the steering head outer race should be It’s the later type with the wide swing arm I think its been modified on the frame I purchased?

cheers

Does anyone know what tonnage hydraulic press needed to split/assemble a 2t crankshaft?

Looks like the exhaust could do with a viagra

Perhaps you have forgot it’s only meant to be a bit of fun! Chill out a little, just ride and have some fun

hondars250 you make some good points, some people will always find something to moan and whinge about! If the trial was so bad why do they need a ballot for 80+ riders, Surly nobody would enter????? Why not congratulate the club for hosting a classic entry, and if you don’t like it you know what to do!

Can’t see what all the fuss is about, if you don’t like the rules don’t enter! There cant be a lot wrong with the format as they are not short of entries Also the excluded riders where lucky to have a ride if they lied on there entry forms!

Sounds like a Chinese brand?

Didn’t think the cota123 could be fitted with 18” & 21” wheels, I thought there were some issues with clearance on the larger wheels?

I went to look at a montesa a few years back, it had Malcom Rathmell on the tank/seat He said he could sell it for a fortune as it had been signed, and it was a one off! He got very abusive when I told he they all had that

Re: thespikeyone I think it’s a fair description, in fact some people make nicer bikes in the garden shed!

Have a look on youtube, there should be a video, get the syringe off ebay 50ml or 100ml
