Was Nostop A Success Or A Failure ?
Certainly a problem with people coming through and not just WTC. Only Bou has been able to break through since fajardo. These top 5 are exceptional but almost to the detriment of the sport and certainly the other wtc riders

Skf Fork Seals Leaking
Im beginning to think you have damaged the forks if you got the old seals out without removing the leg from the fork tube. If you take the bolt out of the bottom part of the fork and then clamp the spindle housing in a vice (protect with wood or cloth) you then use the tube as a slide hammer to remove seal.

Diy Fork Guards.
look at the first pic in this thread http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/45128-check-out-baldilocks/page__pid__343293#entry343293 Knew I should have appled for copyright, a 3m length of this stuff is less than a £10 in wickes, its rainwater piping i think. As others have said apply decals and at first glance nobody notices. better than £70 for the carbon ones, the cheaper after market stuff breaks on impact

Was Nostop A Success Or A Failure ?
Which poll was 2 to 1 in favour of stop permitted ? Its still my view that neither set of rules are observed properly or consistently. When you think wtc sections have 3 or 4 observers thats surprising and needs to be recognised.

You cant say its popular as no stop. But I watched a youtube vid of a french championship round recently. You forget how dull stop permitted is

Video Of The Swm Factory
Im curious now as to why SWM failed as a business. I had thought the advent of the mono killed them off but from the video they had quite a product range. Anybody know what happened ?

Couple Of Clutch Questions (With Photos) - Help Needed Today :-)
not sure how many but take the cover off and top hat just slides off the post. On GG i think if the pack is too thick it may slip as this will make the fingers higher ?

Trials Gear Quality
Bought the more expensive hebo gloves got 3 years out of them. Just bought the more expensive MOTS gloves a couple of months ago which are similar and seem ok.

They do move out but once the cover is fitted the top hat / slave cylinder prevents this. All fingers should move freely i think so this likely to be your problem

Gasgas Ohlins
Coxy go to Splatshop website and click on the more details button for a new Ohlins. There is a detailed set up guide at the foot of the page. Ohlins std settings may be included but GG may have applied their own adjustment ?

5 Jours Du Trial Blanche Serre-Ponchon
Its a real shame this clashes with the Vatellina 3 day run from Bormio ski resort in the Italian Alps. I went to Bormio this year with 3 mates and it was mind blowing, riding the bikes up to 3000m, incredible scenery, proper lunch first two days, sections were typical euro some streams lots of rock outcrop but with 4 routes. It was just so much more than I was expecting. I'll write something up on it when i get everyones pics back. It would be great if the two trials were on consecutive weekends, now that would be a good trip !

7X Campion Del Mundo @ 26 Years Old
Could be my youngest lad Harry then. If anyone wants to sponsor him now ill give a 5% discount !

7X Campion Del Mundo @ 26 Years Old
I think you have a point there Zippy. Its been an extreme few years with 5 or 6 exceptional riders pushing themselves continuosly. Bou will win a few more yet injury / enduro permitting. But currently nobody younger than Toni looks anything like as good. So 3/4 years when Bou hits 30 severity will drop unless another comes along.

No Comment
I think this is reasonable by the ACU. Why spend a fortune on a truck or caravan for a once a year event ? Yes it could be used for btc rounds but then you need to pay to have it driven to each venue and stored between events. In terms of priorities access to land through purchase or lobbying is a far better use of my licence fee than copying other nations without a second thought.

7X Campion Del Mundo @ 26 Years Old
i think you may be taking this slightly more seriously than me. However i am impressed at your telepathic knowledge of the contents of his mind.

Or Bou decides extreme enduro is better paid next year and then you owe Dabster

3 Bikes In A Vito ?

Ossa Yellow Gripper
The Ossa is a mixed bag, just my view. Suspension was ahead of its time, not as good as a mono but better than other twinshocks on the market back then. Modern Shocks now available make this less of an advantage as twinshocks now all can have improved set ups. Forks were also good either Betor or Telesco. Engine performance was very smooth and had enough power. Downsides include the bikes weight, not helped by all that exhaust, poor gearbox and a frame that was a bit more fragile than others.

Newbie With Tech Questions
Lynsky where are you from ? i dont think the forks on a Gas Gas are designed to be air assisted, you can by fork caps with valves as an aftermarket part but these are just to let out any pressue that builds up. Do you know what year your bike is ? any adjustemnt to the forks may be damping or it could have a pre load adjuster on one leg. top the coolant up with neat anti freeze, it must be compatible with aluminium engines

Scorpa 5.7 Electric
