    Yes it would be good to have a more objective / balanced view occasionally. Please remember the wtc was actually dying on its feet before the rule change, largely propped up by a 125 class paid for by parents. As dabster has mentioned numerous times whats happened to those who have won youth and junior titles ? Some are still there but Gomez, Morris, Bethune etc etc couldn't make the wtc pay. In what year did the top class last have 25 entries averaged across the year ? Under any rules you like ?

    Good point regarding paper id rather download it than get a printed copy

    Does the jotagas have the same issue ?

    What bike have you got now how much do you weigh ? You can tailor bikes to your style but with an older bike its often a matter of just ensuring mechanically they are ok.

    In Spain a competition licence is around 300 euro, this presumably funds a truck. People in the uk were most unhappy when the acu first charged £10 ! Personally i think we have bigger issues to fix than buying a truck

    The fort William rounds were stop permitted not stop for one or no stop so why were you asked to count to three ?

    My 280 Gg is the same as the previous ones for some reason hot or cold it always starts 3rd kick. I never stand on the pegs to kick it over

    2015 Scorpa Range

    baldilocks replied to Andy's topic in Scorpa

    That link is the 2014 model ?

    Depending on the model you may have to move cylinder head

    Let it fail, then you will see how many of these demands are actually essential.

    Until sections are marked out for no stop and observers actually apply the rules then yes this will not work. At present we have almost the same sections just with longer run ups. This wasnt what I expected. Take section 4 at penrith. The first two man made jumps and ride round on the flat didnt take any marks that I saw. There was a no stop part to the section ie a continuous set of obstacles to be ridden, but it was only about 25% of the section.

    I asked what lap as speaking to someone else who attended they were convinced the stall was on lap 3. This made me think crikey it happened twice ?

    I think another issue is having 3 routes per section. The nature of the land at penrith meant for example on section 3 both middle and hard course rode along a flat bit of grass for 10 / 15 metres to get past the youth route. Both stop and non stop at this venue seem to be very short sections like one jumble of rocks connected by flat ground to make one longer section. This may just need more thought in layout but using one begin and ends for three routes is potentially making it harder for the coc

    Bingbasher which lap did you video he is down for a 5 on lap 3

    These are Tech forks copey as fitted to shercos. Std GG has Marzocchi which have always been fine in my experience

    They had three on the section in question. I was to the left of Bou when he restarted the bike as was the observer who was making the decisions. I didn't realise he had stalled it and perhaps the observer didnt either. But Bou had clearly stopped and the rules were not applied.

    Can a section be changed after the 1st lap ?

    World round section plotters seem to make the same errors as at every other level of the sport. Penrith had some pretty big stuff but often very little in between. A 10ft step with a long run up and nothing beyond it takes commitment and is spectacular but is clean or five. Make the step 6ft and have something a wheelbase before and after and that requires control. The best made some big stuff look simple and lost marks on things which were pretty small but awkward.

    good video, I must take a holiday to catch an event like this or cahors

    Well done Dabster, this is a good story. As Gizza5 will confirm I returned a spare wheel a lad had left in the car park one year. Its great that trials folk return stuff. Sad reflection on society when people are pleasantly surprised when they get stuff back.

    Crankcase oil breather maybe routed near there ?
  22. baldilocks
    On most bikes there is sufficient lip on the top of the outer race to knock it out with a steel bar from above. Certainly the case with GG and Shercos.
  23. baldilocks
    What colour is the oil coming out, grey/white or the same as you put in ?

    Ive had a dunlop tyre mousse for fitting tubeless tyres for years. Great bit of kit for making life easy

    Jcm early mmodels were the same. Its a problem as usually the torque of the engine compresses the rear suspension and aids traction. When I rode jcms I found them hard to get grip with but didn't understand why at the time.
