My 11year old (1m45) has a Beta 80 mediun wheel which is spot on size wise.
Probably last about another 18 months before he's on the big side.
Thing is it's big enough that I could ride it myself in a club trial without issue though it's sprung too soft.
Hard to come by and quite pricy hold there money well though..
-
My tuppence the Ossa's got one of these new clutchy things and frankly it's feel and action is average.
The biting point varies slightly as it gets hot and not particularly precise.
I've ridden plenty Ossas and they the clutches all felt different and none were as good as mine.
I don't know what the advantages of this new system are it just seems like another "improvement" the average rider could well do without.
-
Good advice thanks, the only thing I would add is keep an eye on the connectors that sit under the bottom of the tank,No sure what they do but if you don't tape up the front of the sumpguard /tank area they get in some mess.Also they rattle about a bit so worth packing them in with some bubblewrap or similar.
Cheers

Age less when used regularly that's the best news I've had in ages.
I'll be keeping an eye on that dog turd in the Scorpas side wall to see when it heals up.
-
Used to go to work on a Suzuli RL don't really fancy doing the rounds on the Ossa.
Fact is things are worse now than they were 40 years ago from Mars Bars to Presidents.

We're spoiled about here local AMCA clubs run about 35/40 trials with 70 miles of my bit.
Sacu probably about 20/30 trials within a similar distance.
Most clubs get 50+ for a club trial and Nationals can reach 100.
Most weeks there a choice of Trials or even an organised play,
Today we had 50 at out local trial and the other trial on likely had nearer 100 not bad considering it's freezing.
I probably ride 40 + club trials and an odd National really intermediate level these days.

Hello there. if you pick up one with higher spec paiolis there is compression/rebound adjustment as well as spring preload on the other leg.
There doesn't seem to be any way of telling what forks a particular bike will be fitted with.
Suspension is pretty basic and hardy ;rear shock has a basic damping adjuster.
No many around and the 163 is the one to have.
Ground clearance is the biggest issue with these bikes.
Happy hunting.

Good man 'those gas bottles should make things interesting.
Maybe we'll see you out east sometime if the bug really bites plenty stuff on here,
Don't worry about sections get the basics hardwired in first.
-
Reading ridgruns post shows not all 's better in uncle Sam land than old Blighty.
No living Scotsman would drive 300 miles to a trial let alone stop drinking at 5am just to get there on time.
-
I think Mull moved to Fintry (not the Dundee one)
I guess the logistics were problematic.
Saying that Lanarkshire are serial odd venue fans.
Try Galashields,Penicuik and Dalrigh for regular trials.
It's like they don't want any members from Lanarkshire,
-
I look at what my friends (Do have the odd one) and their families do at the weekends and compare it to what we do.
It's normally gie mundane like read the papers,walk in the park, couple of pints, visit relations. watch the footie etc.
I'm jumping off big rocks on a 20hp pogo stick with junior there's nothing better.
-
Guessing at the Academy still plenty time for an entry.
-
I asked about that on your old forum.
I think it's set up just to keep everything tight as you know club members with different opinions can cause a lot of bother.
Sandy Mack's the boss I'm told so it'll be spot on.
-
The on board footage of GJ is well worth a watch. It's an education in itself the course was just so hard.you will be sweating watching it.
Emporer Hirohito was kinder to his Kamikazi pilots than the CoC was to those riders.
Even ice cool Jarvis had a moment or 2 it must have taken all his patience not to launch into the Husky into the great blue yonder
Awsome riding
-
So cruel;
Off topic we could be brothers, I've got a Scorpa 163 too.
Had it since new frame No 3.
Tell me it's the best bike you've ever owned,mine is by a mile.
The Ossas only for show.
-
Look on the bright side everyone's moved up a place.
-
Imagine it would be good in UK conditions rather than the test conditions with plenty grip.
Bit of a waste but at least Gas Gas is still on the go.
Hope they invoiced the FIM and Honda for all that work.
-
Up here Nigel there's more 300 Scorpas than you can shake a stick at which you'll know is an Orange Sherco.
Never any 250s but to a bike they all fit flywheel weighs on the 300s.
Easier to control but never seem as nice as stock.
Personally I would knock the timing back slightly and fiddle with the gearing.
Still would ride like a 300 at the end of the day
-
I sure can see why 999 is your favourite number.
When I finally lose it which may be nearer than I think I'll invest in a sidecar.
All those riders I've helped over the years can take turns in driving me round the course.
Naturally I will be obliged to comment on their riding ability spiced with any other derogatory remarks I can come up with.
Looking forward too it already.
-
I'm fine,though I was 54 on Tuesday and b40 never even sent me a card ,it hurts.
-
Certainly a red face job, there's a small "jet" which sits above the main jet nozzle which I was totally unaware existed.
This was lying on the garage floor which a oko supplier told me it would be .
Certainly a prize puddin of the week on TC award due.
Bikes spot and and for the record miles better than all the modified twinshock Fantics that folk spend £1000s on.
Shame the Sections only worth 50p and 3 Barrs bottles.
-
Really don't know I've thought about this for years and failed to come up with any format which wont deteriorate into a flat out race. I've had ideas from other folk too but most rely on riders being sensible which a lot aren't.. I'll work out something but it'll likely be my downfall.
-
I would rather someone with first hand experience commented, I've only heard figures which put me off even considering it.
-
This has been my experience recently Oset 20r TY 80 Beta sw80 so have to agree.
The Osets miles better to ride than the ty 80 and more competitive but frankly unless your hobby is pushing bikes back to the pits follow by a very sad small child you have to run petrol.(Or lipo if you're rich)
-
Hello there don't tell me you're homesick.
You're certainly missed.
Hope you and the boss are well maybe see you sometime when it's hotter.
Cheers the noo.
