Thanks guys, I thought that might be the case. I'll get a set of bearings and stuff and do it at my leisure. Pictures to follow.

I used these on my Yamaha Raptor 700r and CanAm Renegade 800rXxc and they work great with plenty of adjustment to suit individual style.http://www.roxspeedfx.com/cgi-bin/cart/showdetails.cgi?parts_id=9688

Rear wheel lifts about 5mm

Got myself a nice 2003 Montesa 315r DL replica. When I was checking it over I found there was play in the rear linkage below the swingarm. What kit is best to get and where from ?

well that was an experience ! travelled all the way to penrith on sunday to do a deal with my suzuki jimny and 2 trials bikes............they were absolute dogs and I never took them even with an offer of £400 on top ! 1 was a 98 beta 350 I think and the other a 2000 montesa 315r. Looked like 2 bing bikes, free for all have a go and little sign of maintenance, more like patch it and go again. I think they would have been more trouble than they were worth.

I'm looking at getting into trials for fun, been on bikes all my life but never trials for some reason. I have the chance of a Montesa 315r 2000 model. It looks a bit rough but Im told its mechanically sound. How much is it worth ? tinkering with bikes isn't a problem either, in fact I'd expect to be doing it anyway. Thanks
