    2013 Jetting

    Hi One Cabastany Replica 2013 and the other 3.0 as well 2013. Normally we are riding at very high altitude (11,000' = 3600m) and we got a nice and clean setup for this condition. Next week we have our 1st national, which will be held in the north at 800m and I don't have any idea which jetting will work. Normally I would just try but as this is very remote place, we are flying over (shipping the bikes in truck), and I will have very little time to setup the bike if any. So any base line will be greatly appriciated! Cheers!
  4. I have for almost 2 years now, the ARC levers by Ryan Young USA. U had to file some material off to make them work for the EVO (2011) but they work perfect, very smooth action, and yes, for me they are unbreakable, and I test them plenty!
  5. Hope they can give you here better answer than what I did...lol Suerte! Yoram
  6. Not really...is a Danish (if I'm not wrong) guy prepare them one by one..you need to dig hard to find some details on this bike. I couldn't find much more than a couple of pictures. If you do find anymore details, I'll be more than happy if you can share them!
  7. Cross over from Trial to Enduro = the ultimate tool for Extreme Enduro reces. In the video of Hells Gate I saw another one similar to that but based on Beta 2 stroke bike. Berghem sell those ready to go in 15,000 Euro, if you are interested
  8. Bad (and some) news mate. Ligaments will never heal by themselves, unless you going to be under the knife. BUT, and there is a big BUT, with correct exercise which reinforce the muscles on this specific area, you can live with a torn ligaments. Search for a specific "sport" physiotherapist and he will know what to do with you. I have, after more than 25 years riding, bad ligaments on both shoulders and both knees. Never been operated and still walking straight and riding twice a week!
  9. Anyone try those on a Trial bike? Anyone tried a (very) used Bib Mousse in the front for puncture free ride? I know it's heavier but for long rides out there?
  10. I would say the Berghem will do even better then a normal Trial bike. Longer suspension for jumps, higher mudguard etc.
  11. I don't think next year, but in the next 2-3 years, I will be back...
  12. Yes I did. Amazing landscape with very unique ride. I'm all about thinking the next time....
  13. All made by Tal Zohar from www.fullgaz.co.il Enjoy! Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6

    I'm lucky!

    Yes, I missed 2 groups of sections on the 1st day, but kept riding for non award finish. Yesterday, on the last group, i drop the bike and myself on a very slippery surface, and knocked out my left wrist. I thought it will be ok by the morning, but after sleepless night, I tried and couldn't pull the clutch, so i had to say good bye. I have lots of conclusions for 1st timer from the last week, and I will write them up on my way home on Sunday.... Cheers! It's pub time! Yoram

    Shopping?

    Thanks guys. Sound all good, can't wait to be there! Just this damn flu the I have now holding me of being 100% happy...but it's nothing that good shot of Tequila will not solve!

    Shopping?

    Is there commercial area in the parking lot? What I can find there normally? Any chance they accepting CC's or I should bring cash? And non Trial related item, but one that I should not come back home without it! A (very) good bottle of single malt whiskey! Is there any good shop in town? If not, is there any on the way? Those days, I cannot wait to the duty free shops in the airport 'cos they are not allowing liquids on board. have to buy it before... See you on Friday after noon!
  17. I was thinking that myself afterwards, 'cos I got some similar tools few years back with my KTM (now days they do them better). So I just used some drilling, sawing and welding, joining together 24mm spanner and motion pro tire iron. The result is very strong and not too heavy. Together with a cut down 10mm Allen, it can handle the front axle easy.
  18. Nice tool the combo! Problem is that I cannot get it here, and buying in USA will be too late right now. Any chance I will be able to buy it there? I saw here the same idea but from Aluminum made buy motion pro. I would buy it but they didnt have 24mm one...
  19. What are water pump pliers?
  20. Thanks for all the replies! See you soon.
  21. The 24mm - Allen combo is lighter than an adjustable one. But drilling it it's a good idea. I found that most of the weight comes from the tube + tire levers + water. Good idea to carry only 0.5 liter of it! Thanks for all the advices guys.
  22. I was just out (twice) with full prep backpack / Camelback and it's HEAVY! The backpack carry: - Combination of 24mm spanner, 10mm Allen (front/rear wheel) - Bicycle type multi-tool (Allens, flat and Philips screw drivers) - 10/13mm open spanner - Small, long nose wise-grip - Epoxy plasticine (about 30gr) - CO2 pump with 2 bottles - Small and super light bicycle air pump - Spark plug (in carrier) - Spark plug spanner - Front tube - 3 small metal tire irons - Tubeless repair kit (dog poo) - 2 chain links - 1.5 liter of water - Rain jacket + extra gloves When I go Enduro, it's way lighter, since I'm running bib mousses so no any puncher repair elements. It's quite bothering I have to say... Can I take something out or it's better safe then sorry? Thanks again and see you soon.

    I'm lucky!

    2 newcomers one after the other? don't watch me mate! See you there!
  24. I'm renting the bike with Lampkin, so I guess the tank installation will be perfect. As I have it now, I connected it directly to the vent of the main tank, that way I don't need to bother disconnecting it and even better, it get relatively fast empty and the bike is back to normal. Any question in Scottish-English will be difficult for me even if they will only asking what the time is!!! :D Cheers
  25. Agree 100% and this is what I'm doing now - practicing with the Hebo tank installed.
