it`s not leaking spokes, spokes will never seal it`s the rim tape or more likely valve seating on the rim thats leaking. rim tapes are easy to fit, forget the gunge & do the job properly, it will be quicker in long run
we need clarification from the acu. our ldt used sections on private land.as individuals we ride legally on the roads & lanes but as an organised event do really have to put up with all of this msa nonsense, posting notices on greenlanes is a good idea it keeps good relations with horse riders &walkers but the rest is over the top for the type of events we run,did the acu not fight our corner when this first came about,this could kill off road trials, what would happen if we ignored msa ,no permit i suppose
andat i think you are on dodgy ground here go onto msa website for clarification for route, this is now the law as we found when we organised our ldt. as for visiting every household a bit of common sense is needed here, these regs really are drawn up for night time car rallies, i think more problems would be caused by running willy nilly all over the place. householders we visited were suprisingly supportive especially when we said it was a charity event
trials riding is an absolute bargain as regards cost. try any other motorised sport and see what the costs are, especially if racing is involved. most clubs do have day membership at an extra cost
i also spectated at the southern experts. very slippery conditions ,i thought the observing was sensible for the conditions on the day, this is the problem with no stop , if the ruling was rigidly enforced every rider would have been on a maximum or very close to it & would have spoilt a good trial
oh yes, i had exactly the same problem when i first had my 300 pro the technique is to get the kickstart on its highest position on rachet get yourself positioned high lean on tree or van, good hefty kick & away she goes ,mine only starts on level ground or facing uphill,you will soon get the hang of it
i had a 290 sherco & found carb float level critical for starting too much fuel makes it difficult to start plus the 290 requires a hefty kick to start 250 is a doddle in comparison
