  1. There's a club trial at Earl Shilton Trials club on Sunday 1st April. Why not come and have a look and get a feel for whats what. Or you could join on the day and just have a go. Very friendly club, that also runs monthly training days at a very reasonable cost which are a great help. Club membership for practice is also available at the ground www.estc.co.uk
  2. Mintex T&O run by Richmond MCC - normally around June time on the same ground as the Scott - 2 laps of 30 sections - about 45 miles total - A and B class riders. Scott trial but on a smaller scale for the youth riders.
  3. That's like saying you can't buy a football because you only want a kick about and aren't interested in joining the local team. Lots of people enjoy their bikes and riding for what it is (supposed to be) ...fun and relaxation! You sound like your going to start press ganging people as your next step. It may be worth listening to what the people that don't come to trials have to say rather than telling them their just wrong.
  4. So if apparently the system works so well and there's no issue why is there a thread asking where all the entry's are? No wonder only about 5 internet warriors ever post on here. Says it all
  5. Yes and it works great bar a couple of little glitches, but not many organisers use it unfortunately
  6. Pretty sure Toms not yet old enough to ride anything over a 125 on the road. Think you gotta be 19 to get a full licence.
  7. Yeah I had thought of that, strange feeling this is going to cost me a new mudguard though lol
  8. Hi everyone, Is there any alternatives to the standard rear mudguards for a late model Rev 3. Maybe fitting one from another bike etc? Its a late model 2008 and I really really don't want to pay £100+ for a rear mudguard. 'Ive spent a lot of time giving the old girl a tidy up and an engine rebuild and was hoping to fit new plastics. Any help appreciated. Thanks all :-)
  9. RFX flexi levers - have a look on ebay, Beta clutch mod and run ATF in gearbox - this sorts most of the clutch issues out, Gas Gas front mudguard - al late model one, or I understand a Mont one will also fit, both much more flexible than the stock beta one.
  10. That looks great, that would be a real big step towards solving the issues of directing people to venues. I have been asked how to get to Hawks nest so many times, very difficult to explain -- now you just need to download the app and go to facing.underline.valid I really like this idea, check it out
  11. Also Earl Shilton also do training days, they would be ideal I would think, and only £20 for the day, great value. There's actually one running this Saturday, I'm sure if you where to get in touch with the club they'd book you a place.
  12. As above, undo the top clamp bolts first, normally a pair of circlip pliers is enough to remove it.
  13. Fits well, strong its not! Bends easily, I was disappointed tbh.
  14. Just what I need. Which year / model do I need to order? No idea about such gas gas things. Also is it a straight fit? Thanks in advance
  15. Eat pies before you get on ya bike, exercise for the arm and mouth

    Engine Paint

    Does anyone know what colour / type of paint to use on the beta engines? Im thinking of the greeny grey crankcase colour. Mines peeling off a lot underneath and wanted to tidy it up a bit. I have no idea if its not black - hence asking the question! Thank all.
  17. Thanks everyone, mucho helpful as always !
  18. Guys, ive just fitted bar rises to my bike and the changes are great - but the throttle cable is not long enough - are longer ones available does anyone know? And if so where from? Cheers
  19. Can anyone tell me the size of the mains and seals I need to order for a 2008 Rev 3 250. Mine are getting evermore grumbly - but I'd like to get all the parts ready to hand before strip the bike. Just seen the prices on the importer site .. ouch! Thanks
  20. mate have a look at the link to that vid I posted on the trials uk site .. you only need a drift and a hammer and coin the right size - 1p piece ... cheap as chips and works ... simples
  21. Much easier way Think you have to register to watch the vid http://www.trialsuk.co.uk/how2s/wheel-bearings
  22. I agree with all the above, great for safety and protecting yourself from the engine going bang. We have had incidents of them getting pulled off by the undergrowth mid section though which is a bugger. I have also seen someone get shot in the eye with one during a bail out. Had trouble finding his bike then had to ride with only one eye cos the kid couldn't see owt !!
