Can anyone reccomend a good Wheel building company in UK ? Its to totally respoke a pair of Akront rims/hubs on my twinshock montesa. S_M.

The reason its been bid to the seemingly ludicrous price of

Can someone explain to me why this should be so ??? S_M.

Montesas should be 3 or 4% oil mix, i e 25/1. maybe 30/1 minimum. S_M.

Is the ebc shoes the ones with ridges cut into the friction material? Sandy

Glad it goes steve, but hey stick with it, get the motor split and fit the bearings and seals, what

Does any of the Cota 330 owners group have a 330 with full wiring/lights intact? Need a couple of queries answered.. cheers sandy.

Lookin Good Steve, 1000 apologies for not calling you yet. Airbox and ali bashplate are sitting waiting for me to send to you. I have been really busy, promise to try and phone you tuesday...or just call me !!!! S_M.

Hi Steve, Best to join the Montesa yahoo group meantime, as swoosh says its been a bit quiet recently, but there is a few very knowledgable members in the group. Most of the real Montesa info/parts etc is Spanish based . Which is to be expected i s'pose... P.S if i aint phoned you re. airbox by monday night remind me by email S_M.

Or you could just stick 300cc in each. gearoil in gearbox, atf in clutch. S_M.

Whats the point of comparing a "new updated modern chassis, modded steering geometry" blah blah, with ACTUAL period standard twinshocks? Other than to show off what a NEW twinshock might be like if manufacturers hadnt stopped the concept 25 years ago.... Personally my bestest Montesa cota 330 is a gem of a bike.. S_M.

That chassis number is well into 349 territory, double check the inlet manifold between carb and barrell, 348 stub is part of barrell , 349 is a 2 bolt on stub. Whats ebgine number? looks like a mongrel of 2 or more bikes to be honest! S_M.

Thanks for the comments vaughan, the gearlever is the correct one for this bike. seat pads for the 200 cota are listed HERE. S_M.

Just been inspired by the recent thread on Cotas to show off my mint 349/4 grey/red model cota.. cheers S_M.

Great to see so much Montesa discussion! no manual exists for the cotas or indeed any 1976 onwards montesa.... cheers S_M.

Try Jared bates at www.southwestmontesa.com

Did you buy a 26mm one? I'd be interested to know how it does on the 330.. S_M.

Sorry, cant help regarding the carbs, all my 330's have originals and work well. Steve, if you want,pm me i have some bits and a contact for pistons now as well. S_M.

What mont have you got Vaughan?? cheers S_M.

You were quick off the mark buying that bike, i enquired as soon as i saw it on ebay and it was sold already!!!

See THIS SITE cheers S_M.

Slight guess here but i would try ep90 gear oil about 300cc , seems all this era montesas list this type/quantity. Also remember that the clutch/primary drive has its own oil .. S_M.

If its the same as the cota 349, i have a couple of 349 parts engines which should have at least one shaft between them. send me a pm if you want ... cheers S_M.

Just a word of support for this club, fantastic resource for us beamish owners. keep up the great work . S.M.
