[Bike On The Back Of My Car...]

The only thing that may be worth considering is the car, they do look a bit strange on small cars

The smallest I have fitted a rack to was an old mk5 escort diesel, with a BSA Victor (about twice as heavy as a modern trials bike)

[Bike On The Back Of My Car...]

Shouldn’t be a problem, but make sure you have a light board & number plate on as well

[Tempted]

great for delivering telegrams

The bantam was, but not that one

I'm with OTF, its a funny looking bitza!

[Recommended Mixture Ratio]

For the love of God man you must delete this post immediately or it wil go on for weeks of arguing about the proper ratio!!

Again

For the 3rd or 4th time

Save us

more like the 100th time

I run my gasgas on 50:1 but thats because I like my engine and

I Run my air-cooled bikes at 40:1

I don't get more smoke than anyone else (in fact my gasgas runs very clean) & I never had any problems with blocked or dirty exhausts.

[Pointing The Finger]

what's the point of this video?

[Reving When Running Our Of Gas]

Is that question for real!

[New X11 Competition Tyre]

Hi Tony, The new tyre will be loads better but as the first place you tried it was at Shatterford I'm not surprised by the slipping and sliding around. There is no worse place for the greasy surface.

Next time you ride at your normal venues you will see the difference.

Tom

Shatterford has to be one of the most slippery places to ride a bike!

[New X11 Competition Tyre]

Some good advice a above

The only thing I would add is don’t use washing up liquid, it works fine but causes corrosion (I think it has a high level of salt added)

[Is This Ok?]

Hello, just to add my little bit, this is insane. Cannot see how far the front tyre is off the tarmac but if any passengers are in the rear the back end of the car will sink and/or if the car goes over a "whump" at speed the front tyre may hit the tarmac. If i saw this i'd keep well clear.

Buy a trailer.

regards

One of the passengers could sit on the bike?

I would like to comment on this topic, but unfortunately I’m too poor to have a bike with FI

[I Think I May Be A Pleb...]

Many years ago a friend of mine turned up at a motocross meeting, only to find he had forgot his bike….

[Bsa B40 Trials Vm22 Mikuni Jetting]

i was wondering what you meant as i have never come across a size stipulation. Amal yes Mk 1 yes , unless you have a Cub in Yorkshire of course , but not a size restriction.

Spell checker changes the word amal to small, or a typo??? (could be wrong)

I know in ms word it tries to change it to anal!

[Why Are Beamish Suzuki Bargain Twinshocks...]

I’ve noticed that the prices have started to creep up lately

They are a bit like marmite, you either love them or hate them!

[C15 B40 Shock Length]

BSA got it about 'bang-on' for a design 1957ish. If in 2014 people decide to alter that geometry...so be it. Rear suspension works by mechanical advantage ( thats why the JJ Corba didn't work). But all the 'mechanical advantage' goes out the window if you have no grip (thats why good riders keep it rolling in greasy condition). No matter what is done, in this case (short of removing the rear chain) the vehicle will still move forward.

Well there’s your answer, couldn’t be simpler!

[Tyres !]

If thats the case a lot of people prefer IRC rear and Michelin front.

Yes, that’s the setup I have and it works very well

[Tyres !]

Thanks. Not really interested in what is not allowed but can possibly get away with. Just need to know what is permitted so I can plan ahead if needed

The only TRIALS tyres NOT allowed are tyres without tubes. I presumed you are going to fit a trials tyre?

Maybe you were thinking of a motocross or ice speedway tyre with some nice metal spikes?

[Tyres !]

Don’t think you are allowed tubeless, but I think quite a few use them!

[Bantam Engine Help]

I’ve just acquired a bantam D7 bottom end (everything accept a barrel piston & head)

I would like to fit a D14 top end, I presume it’s a straight fit. But did the D14 have any difference to the crankshaft, crankcase volume or transfer port alignment?

Basically what I want to know is, will I get the same power output as a D14?

[Anti Theft Measures]

A ground anchor is a must even if you have an alarm,

I had a bike stolen that had some expensive locks & chains but it wasn’t locked to the floor.

The locks broke there bolt cutters, so the stole a neighbours van and took it with the locks on!

Now I have a ground anchor under the bike to make access difficult, and another at the front!

They can be purchased off ebay quite cheaply!

[Torque Levels]

Don’t buy one to cheap, better to go for a branded one

The cheap ones are not accurate

A good quality one will last a lifetime!

[Anyone Have A 'ladybird' Guide To Converting A Tyr To Twinshock]

Bilks:

Many thanks for that, we a few guys this using chinese CG engines in tlr frames and modern front ends too, good luck with that project

like myself, i never even bother to tot up my dabs, its a fun day out for me.....that and the fact i count myself lucky to be riding due to a chronic illness....keeps me active

If you only ride for fun why not leave it standard and just enjoy riding it?

The bike should be more than capable to ride with modern iron, so what’s the point in chopping it?

[Stolen 2002 Montesa 315R]

do you have the engine & frame number, it would be worth posting them on here

[Eligible Or Ineligible For The Scottish Pre 65]

I have a couple of simple questions:

What bike should I buy, is it pre65 eligible & what two stroke mix should I use?

[Motocross V Trials...]

I now do trials for exactly the same reason, and it’s also a lot cheaper than MX

I must be enjoying it, I now have 3 trials bikes!

[Castrol R]

Nothing wrong with using Castrol R in a classic 4t Trials bike, but be very careful if you use flushing fluids or oil as they don’t mix with 'R'

I’ve only ever swapped oils after a full engine strip and clean

Your best bet is buy some more ‘R’
