Obviously GG prices may differ in local markets, but here everything is pretty much equally expensive. Welcome to trials!

You have to jump. Like, bend your knees, touch your ass to the rear fender, and explode up kind of jump. The bike doesn't do all the work, as much as we'd like it to. Your second throttle input is also too weak and a little late. If your weight is still on the pegs when you do your second burst of throttle, the bike isn't going anywhere but forward. Give it another 1000 attempts, that's about how long it takes to figure out... probably more actually, depending on how old you are. I've lost count. One thing you might want to practice is your static zap. Since you're stopped you have a lot more time to really think about your timing. Obviously start smaller https://youtu.be/N6o-k0ISfSA?t=64

This is the TRS Gold caliper:

Racing and GP. It's the new Braktec monobloc on both, no idea if it's the same as the TRS.

I hate winter.

I guess you missed last season??? Other than Bou winning almost every event he turned up at, it was fantastic. Busto won, he beat Ragà at least twice, Bincaz and Gelabert generally kicked ass, and the mid pack overall was fantastic to watch as you were never sure if the kids or the old guys would come out on top. The qualifying system is great, the venue setup looks a million times better than previous years, and I think they did a great job. France even looked momentarily poised to win the TdN. The stadium was on it's feet after the second round, and so was I. I'm excited for this year. I know old school trials riders don't really get indoor, but I love it.

Yes.

No. Luckily, internetz: https://www.x-trial.tv/en-int/page/pricing-x-trial

Right, because Beta isn't infamous for their own variety of clutch issues...

It's certainly possible they got a batch of fiber plates that are swelling, it's happened before. Going to Kevlar presumably eliminated that possibility, which is as good a reason as any to do it.

I have an '18 (and I've had a '17 and a '14). It (the stock clutch) is perfectly fine. There was and is no problem with them... they've been the same design for eternity, if they were broken no one would buy them. I've also put Xiu (kevlar) clutches in a few of my GG's, and they work exactly the same... There's little difference in feel, provided the clutch pack is the same thickness as the one being compared to. The adjustable preload ring on all bellville spring bikes that have one works by the same principle: it's a stepped ring, so you pull out all the retaining bolts, spin the ring to line it up with the setting you want, and bolt it back on. And yes, this works exactly as it should on the '18. This is a Xiu adjustable ring, but the one in the '18 is the same thing but a different color.

A slow throttle tube is a cheap fix if you find it a problem at first.

This isn't a hard decision. If you've ridden before, and you want something to have fun on that is suitable at almost all skill levels, get a 250.

Published 2011: In his book, “Exploring Global Landscapes of Litigation,” Christian Wollschlager notes that the litigation rates per 1,000 people shows that European nations top the list of the world’s most litigious countries. Here is a list of the top 5 most litigious countries by capita: Germany: 123.2/1,000 Sweden: 111.2/1,000 Israel: 96.8/1,000 Austria: 95.9/1,000 U.S.: 74.5/1,000 The Top 10 also includes the UK (64.4); Denmark (62.5); Hungary (52.4); Portugal (40.7); and France (40.3).

I've used the Xiu fingers as well. No modifications to anything.

I've put Xiu plates on my last two bikes. First time I've seen that.

I still don't understand the problem. The only difference between the Xiu fingers and the stock fingers is that they're cut out more for oil flow. The way they rest between the pack and the pressure plate is the same. There's no reason the Xiu fingers and stock wouldn't be interchangeable between packs.

Ok bro. Good luck.

The Xiu fingers are a drop in replacement. You don't need to do anything to them.

Giving your trials bike to random people is a little like handing someone with zero firearms experience a loaded weapon and telling them to have at it. I'm amazed she stayed on it.

How many links is the 2019 chain? EDIT: nevermind, found it... 100 links. I think I've more or less come to terms with the pre-2019 gearing, so going from 3.8 to 3.9 should be a little better.

I think there's been a general degree of unhappiness with and friction between sport 7 and local organizations. I'm not all that surprised they're done.

Slow throttle. Call it good.

They beefed them up for 2018 with an added piece metal welded to the bottom of the bottom bracket.
