guys

The title says it all I think. I had two cuts in the sidewall of my rear tire and tried to fix it with an inner tube. I did a testrun on my driveway and almost tore off the valve from the inner tube because the tire rotated a bit. Then I removed the tube, cleaned the rim and tire and mounted them. I poured about 10oz (300ml) tire sealant via the valve (removed the valve core) in the tire, inflated it rotated the tire for the sealant to contact the sidewalls and hey presto! tyre is sealed! It should last about 7 months and help prevent future punctures (up to 1/4 inch) Stan's Notubes tire sealant is very wel known by mountainbikers. My son used it on his tubeless mountainbike tyres and never had a flat, although he could be riding with thorns in the tires without him knowing it. If it doesn't hold I'll post it here...

One does not necesserily need a ACU, FIM or FFM licence. You can get a 'One event licence' which costs 59€ (in 2012). What you do need is a "medical certificate allowing you to take part in motorcycle sport" More info at: http://enduro.pagesperso-orange.fr/trial/#presse

Thanks Coriolis and Chewy . i'm already a lot wiser

I'm considering entering the 4days trial at La Creuse to. It wil be my first time to, so i'd like to know if low class riders as myself can ride there... Thanks Nigel!

Thanks, it's kinda my job to make stuff

Pictures of my home-made chaintensioner (and rear "wave"- brakedisc): http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/gallery/album/118-chain-tensioner-and-wave-brakedisc-montesa-4rt/

That's all very nice, but have you guy's signed the petition? Hmmm?

Michelin.

Lineaway, I can't say with certainty what the problem was with Handemadematt's bike sitting behind my PC. I was only saying that coils do fail sometimes.

Made myself a chaintensioner from a block of Ertalon LFX, a internally lubricated cast nylon... I'll post a picture and let you guy's know how it works out...

Maybe coils do rarely go out, but somtimes they do. On my BMW Boxer the coil had an almost invisable crack and only when the engine was warm, the coil would fail because the engine heat would expand the coil a litlle bit, open the crack a bit and the engine would run bad or stop completely. When I let the engine cool down the coil would work again...

No worry's mate! Check out the fellas awesome website for more great pickies: http://www.photobysergio.fr/index.html Cheers!

Nope. (one finger between the tensioner and the swing-arm)

I don't know. because they're crap? The first one only lasted 3 months, wore down to the metal tubes and the "bridge" (the upper part) broke off. Yesterday i mounted the second one, and after 2 hours of training it breakes in the middle, between the two bolts.

Hmmm, might be a good idea. Lots of different kinds of plastics at work available... Thanks

Hi everybody I've had two chain tensioners (brand: Ariete) that broke in to pieces in a very short time although the discription says the following: 'A replacement trials chain tensioner spare pad made from the much more durable silicon rubber More expensive than the standard rubber item, but will pay back with much longer life' So here's my question: What brand do you guys use, are the S3 any good?
