Is that you 'coming out of the closet''now Slapshot?

Like it I can even tell my kids that one.

Yes, I can just imagine some oriental fella putting his ruler up to the computer screen to take a measurement!

Perce..it's a Gasser!!..I've seen the weld on lug of the mid-box crack just by staring at it.

2 years ago Motorpoint sorted a Galaxy for my father-in-law with

Don't judge me for posting this....it does have a trials bike in it........

Is it cos' I is 40?.......Hmm..worra muppet.. can't sort the link..to be continued... At last..click me....... Tidy !

This worked when the fuel filter on my car sprang a leak...like he says..short term fix only.I know there's not always a bar of soap next to you at a trial. But I have had my bike in the bath with me before?? honest !

My mate says that the people from Hartlepool are f***ing monkeys......so that's what he really meant?

I say Mont too, but what's your definitive answer Hovis?

Yep, Seen that plenty times in my martial art days..the phsyco' -pain is good- stretcher. Cheers again Billy ..I'll give this a go for a couple of weeks and report back. Wayne

Topic title:- 2002 Sherco 2.9 or Montesa 315 ? Hovis answer:- Beta Rev 3....Doh !?!?

Cheers Billy, I'll pay more attention to my stretching before /during my squats and lifts. I'm guessing leg side swings (ballet-bar style )and side splits would be a good warm up and stretch for adductors etc.? I'm all for trying to ''exercise'' my way out of a problem,but I did need your direction first,thanks! Any idea if lunges are a good thing in this situation? Many Thanks, Wayne

Just got back on my bike yesterday after a long lay off (which did help my knees)and sure enough my knees are stiffening up 24 hours later. It feels like my knee-caps are too tight( no float ),pushing into my knee joints. I think this means I have an imbalance in my leg muscles (front-back-inside -outside?). I'm quite active for 40 and nothing else I do gives me 'jip' like riding a trials bike??? Anyhow..does anyone know of a few exercises or any training I could add to my current work out? Cheers, Wayne

I'll run it by Andy first

You mean ........they're spies

Andy.T , re-read my posts..Atoms reply is the erudite(triple word score?)version of what I have been trying to tell you. Good Luck (I don't mean that sarcastically)

Maybe I only think this is funny because my kids are learning Irish dancing.....and they hate this... ..my kids are on the left

Did you mean Andy or Andy.T

Ridgerunr.. It could be your perception of the scale of any trials bike problems rather than the faults themselves. What I mean is..look at the retirements for any trial and I bet only a microscopic portion of those retirements are down to mechanical failure. Here's a post you won't see very often on any web-site; Hello all ,just letting you know my bike runs great and I have competed in a trial this week (or had a great practice session)

The man was such an entertainer and inspired many a bicycle accident in my childhood.. the guy was responsible for one of the biggest crazes of my youth..every lad did this..put 'cow-horn' handlebars on your racer,then a whole new, off-road-world seemed to open up.RIP

Ahh,your perception serves you well Mr. Bond...but now I have to kill you. Is it a big lap? I don't know if I've ever done Lambshields?

2 miles and

Cheers for all the help fellas,tyre's on and holding pressure. As usual I needed it in a hurry so I didn't have time to order anything. Just nipped( no pun ) out to get a 20 by 1 and 3 eighths tube(according to Steve Saunder's video). Can't believe I've lost my touch with the tie down method
