  1. Who does the cheapest price for wheel rim anodising? Candywheels charge
  2. I foolishly bought one from my local bike shop,with the intention of getting one that fitted the spokes on both my push bike and motorbike. I got one that was a multifit kind of thing in a circular shape..... Bloody hell... you certainly have to have had your weetabix for breakfast
  3. just thinking out loud, does any one know why the 125 beta doesn't have titanium coated forks? Yet it's more expensive than last years by a
  4. Would you be able to do a top yoke for a beta with 1 1/8" clamps to take fatbars? How much do you reckon that would cost?

    As far as the 'wow' factor goes I think the 4RT definently has it.I was lucky enough to get a go on one and the torque is amazing

    Just wondering if anyone has got a 2006 Beta yet? Any noticable changes as far as riding goes?
  8. Where'd you get them done? Are they powder coated or anodised? Have they scratched much?

    New Bike

    I'm going to get a 2006 Beta 125 soon and am just wondering how to keep it nice. My first few rides I'll probably take it really easy but I can imagine after a bit I'll resume my usual riding style (slamming it into rocks). When I first get it I know to give various parts a good smearing of grease but how do I run the engine in properly? I'm also going to give it a couple of sheets of technosel and some fork protectors for cosmetic reasons. I'm really looking forward to buying it as I've worked very hard and saved alll my money and I've never had a new bike before Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated
  17. I agree that we should use FIM rules here in the UK. I know that some riders can't hop about,and that you get long queues when riders start hopping and balancing. However, I'd rather queue longer and finish later if it lowered my marks lost. I'm quite far from expert level ,yet I'm now able to hop and balance and it's not a case of having bags of energy , just being in time with your suspension. It'd also help the lads who do these world rounds if they weren't alternating between rules. On another note ,3rd isn't too bad for Doug seen as every thing that could go wrong,did.
  18. A bit off topic but I can't register to the message board on the SDMC site because I never get sent the E-mail. If it can't work can you (Curly) contact the post wanting a 125 Beta ,and ask if she is interested in my 125 2003 Beta. Asking you Curly because your a bit of a whizzkid at these computers. Cheers Rob
  19. I know what it's like riding without a back brake (I usually find out as I'm going down a steep bank) Usually it's because the chain has worn through the brake pedal(on mine anyway),and if you don't realise straight away that it's come off/wearing you can't salvage the old one so you have to fork out for a new one (I hate spending money) Even worse ,I once lost the toe peg ,so bought a new one...Next trial,Lost the hole pedal(with the new peg)!!!!!!!!! I think it's one of the only niggling problems with Beta's.
  20. I'm going to try and ride both. Thing is Club champ trial starts at 11:00 Jason Kirkwood trial starts at 13:00 Will The Club Champ trial be quite short (only 2 hours)? I'll try not to push in the queues this time (curly)
