What is it with all these KTM fanboys? ? Everywhere i go this is all i see. There are differences. Granted not a lot. PS why have you got an orange sherco? ??

Not an expert here but as far as i know the hub/spoke layout hasn't changed since then, whether its a flanged rim or non flanged rim front or rear. So anything from 03 right to 2020 should fit as long as its 32 spoke. And this is across all brands!

Sidis are a good boot, although they have tendency for the sole to start coming away at the toe after a couple of years (not the stitching, just wear the sole is glued to the stitched sole.). A bit of glue re attaches this before it gets worse. Gaerne i feel offer very little protection. The sidis are a stiffer boot, much better protection IMO. I went for the same size as the gaernes and they are tighter, but passable.

Is that Arizona, one of the 3 states that have higher infections rates than any other COUNTRY in the world?

A bike that age i cant imagine much being wrong. Check that the clutch isn't draggy and maybe give the gearbox a run up to 6th and back

Spare split link, usually put it over my tank breather hose. And then if i ever need it i hope someone nearby has a pair of pliers lol. Either way, its easier to scrounge a pair of pliers than find someone with a split link

Agree with all that you say, but i disagree here. This was an attempt to try and narrow the gap between the top and bottom riders, thus trying to encourage more riders to move up from trial2. I don't think they went far enough!! If it stays the way it is, it will just be bou raga and busto, everyone else will be either taking 5s or move down. Trials is too extreme. At the other end of the spectrum look at the SSDT. Dougie and a few other good british riders can compete with or even beat James, whereas at GP, Dougie and those other riders wouldn't even want to ride it. This is an extreme of course, and i wouldn't want to see TrialGP resort to this, but there has to be some middle ground. If trials keeps catering to Bou, all the other riders and the sport as a whole, suffers. Yes, its great seeing Bou clean a section that no one else can, but where's the competition here?

I think the 2020s were released in July. Previous years it has been earlier, february/march time. This year it will probably be different again with covid

As above, the MC is usually the most likely culprit for letting in air

Had a pit bike a few years back. Great craic!

I take it you've tried the bikes for sale on here? https://www.trialscentral.com/forums/classifieds/category/1-petrol-trials-bikes/ After eBay and here, you're next best bet is maybe looking on FB at some pages (if you're on it), or calling round any dealers local to you. TMX used to have a for sale section, but haven't bought that paper in years

You could drop the forks through the yolks an inch and back off the rear spring to match, but how about taking a bit off the seat foam?

Hard to tell from this photo, but looks close https://www.zonetrial.com/ArticleDetail.aspx?Langue=E&Modele=Spacer+fuel+tank+GasGas+TxT+pro+racing+2013&Id_Article=8074

Every year they keep getting smaller, yet the price goes up? Just like trials bikes.

Only 2 stroke premix oil, definitely not car engine oil. The 10/40 may have been referring to the gearbox

Personally i don't think they are worth the price difference. Ever since they did away with the std txt and the racing became the new standard (now with reiger and keihin) I think this bike is already more than adequate for 95% of the entry. Ive had 4 racings, never a GP, but whenever i rode a GP i couldn't tell the difference. If im right in thinking who bumpy _ltd is, he's a good enough rider to warrant the gp, but if you're the average club rider theres a good chance you won't be able to tell the difference. If you have the money, by all means go for it, but if you're tight for money, i would pass. The airbox is really just bling, the racing forks and reiger suspension are already great, and things like bars and pegs are a cheap upgrade to a racing if you feel you need them (personally ive never liked renthals flat bend).

Its all down to your ability, "roughly". Clubman or semi expert, go for the 250, expert, 300. There is the odd clubman that likes the low end torque of the 300s but they are few and far between. This is across all makes

Use a split link to take the calliper cap off. The braktec calliper is no better regarding braking power

Totally agree. I think its spot on the way it is. You cant criticise the whole championship just because covid has effected the top level entry. The overall entry across all classes the last few years has been great i think.

Sounds like a great way to help up and coming riders compete at a level close to WTC or already established riders to maintain their ability...... We already have trials like you describe, they are called national trials. The british championship is for the best in britain (and sometimes overseas) to push the limits as far as possible

I don't buy the covid excuse, it was over 2 weeks since the previous world round, and the 125 riders didn't seem to mind coming back home to compete it. And less rounds doesn't diminish a championship, all it does is make it easier for an upset to occur.

Doesn't sound like a typical sherco to me. As for the sound, i don't know, kind of a weird one

The airoh trr is 900 grams

Don't think it's helped by the sheer lack of video coverage. A 1 minute highlight reel is rather pathetic

Is this while standing or sitting? And when sitting where are you sitting on the bike? Its best to sit on top of the rear guard, right at the back of the airbox. And have your arms almost fully extended which keeps your back perpendicular (kind of) to the bike. Its hard to cover the rear brake as you lift the bike into the wheelie, its easy to pop the wheelie and once you have the wheel up then cover the rear brake. I also kant my ankle outwards slightly along with moving my knee outwards, with the outside of my foot touching the outside of the peg. This effectively raises the inside of your foot, big toe area, to allow for brake lever clearance. I think this is what you mean by no.3. Pros don't always cover the rear brake. When hopping on the back wheel yes, but if you see them do a large lunge across a gap, more times than not there toes will be pointing way down at the start and mid flight, and its only just before the back wheel touches the far side of the gap will they raise their foot really quickly to cover the rear brake for landing. I think its about time a professional made a riding tips video the way colley did years ago. Think it would sell well.
