Looks mint. Want to sell? 😁 I miss chrome frames You should find most of what you want here. https://www.thehellteam.com/technical-support/gas-gas-parts-and-service-manuals Your model is the end of a line. The pro model followed from 2002. Not sure when the txt model came onto market, 97 ish?

How long are you intending to keep the bike and wanting them to look new? The zinc spokes start to look tarnished again within a couple of years, at least in the weather over here. The stainless are expensive but will look just as good in 10 years as the day you get them

Try allens used trials spares on FB

Thats kind of what the goal of non stop was. Except it never really lowered the level that much, and after a very short period of time we were back to brief stop allowed. As for the results, they would still be bou busto raga 1,2,3 🤣

The numbers were dwindling well before no stop was brought in. That was the main reason it was brought in, to lower the level to allow more riders to be able to ride trialgp as well as the lower classes without getting seriously injured. Allowing more time in a section comes with the consequence that the section severity will undoubtedly iincrease. No stop worked for one year, until bou and raga started berating oberservers every week and then stop went to 1 then 2 then 3 seconds. Theres nothing fundamentally wrong with the rules IMO, but i agree the current no stop ruling is a joke. The FIM were never able to enforce it sufficiently by supporting the observers and penalising riders who argued against the stop. For that reason it is possibly destined to always fall short. I wonder how many trial2 riders were consulted in this decision making process. I also disgree regarding funding. Trial 2 and 125 are quite well populated, money doesnt seem to be a massive barrier for all those riders. But yes, maybe trials is incapable of attracting more numbers into it, all we are arguing about is how they are distributed amongst the classes. Other sports try to narrow the gap between to the top and bottom competitors, this i believe is going against that The stop dab was the perfect compromise, why it only lasted for a year or two i just dont know

I agree. We are two of the few. The majority online and other riders i talk to seem to favour the return to no stop. I dont think they remember how dire GP trials were 10 years ago. Toni Bou pushing to go back to non stop is all you need to know. The guys only lookin after himself and reading a recent interview of his showed me how out of touch he was with trials at a lower level. I expect trials to get much more severe as a result of this. The trial 2 rider will have absolutely no chance now of ever moving up. The reverse argument is that it will make it easier on the observers. But do we now expect the observer to observe and time the rider as well? Or do we need another oberver just to hold the stop watch? And should we all be looking for minders now so we can get time updates through the section. IMO no stop was the solution, but it was half baked because the FIM wouldnt stand by the observer to give a stop for a stop. And rather than argue about whether it was a stop or not, all we will get now are time arguments. I was out in time, no you werent my stop watch says 1 min 1 sec, yes i was my minders watch says 59 secs.

Not a beta expert but i dont think the plastics have changed any so right up to 24 should fit, i think. I also dont think you can buy their plastics without stickers like you can other brands.

I actually dont think a torx will fit. The braktec calipers use a torx100 to remove their caps but the shape of this caps indents are more rounded than torx, so id say you would have to make your own tool. You may be lucky and find the pistons are the same size as braktecs (i assume they would make their caliper to suit pistons and seals already on the market) which are 25 mm, but youre already looking at £40 for a piston and seal kit!

It is a bit suspicious as a first post

Break in to the wire from your cdi to final coil, usually black and white, and earth it. Dont see why that shouldnt work, but never tried it before

Only one that comes to mind. You do know youve just described what 95% of us trials riders do on a weekly basis at the local club trial?

Still looks like a 21 front 18 rear. Useless! Yes ,the frame and wheelbase look shorter but I dont believe theres a big gap in the market for a bike like this. Its the small wheel beta 80 that needs competition and and alternative to. Some kids go straight from the small wheel 80 straight to a 125, and those that go to the big wheel 80 spend less than a year on it before going to a 125.

Oh and shortly after the live stream finishes they upload the complete stream so you can rewatch it on demand. In case for some reason you cant catch it live. Then you wont have to wait 6 months untill they upload it to their YT channel

No problem, first xtrial of 2024 is February 4th i think. Also be careful if you see live footage advertised of some of the smaller european indoors on facebook, they can be scams. There was a link being shared on the offical chambery trial facebook page on saturday there and it looked everything like a scam page to me.

xtrials youtube page is confusing, they make you think trials are happening when they arent. The xtrial events are the only ones that you can rely on being avaibable live. Smaller events like DL12 and last weeks chambery are hit and miss, usually they dont get live coverage. I watch xtrial on x-trial.tv. Its pay per view i think at £8 or theres a season pass for around £35. Their live coverage is pretty good, well worth it in my opinion, but last year they had a guy fill in for commentary at 1 or 2 rounds, and he was rather clueless regarding trials. The usual commentator is ok.The camera work is good though and they show everything from rider entrance to cermemony, over 2 hours of footage. If your watching the official youtube pages footage, youre watching the same footage, just condensed a little as i think they are around 45 minutes on their yt page The offical FIM page streamed some outdoor world rounds live last year. Their footage i find is below par, camera work, commentating, what riders they choose to show, all pretty amateur. But then again its outdoor, its a much harder task than live streaming inside a small stadium, and its better than nothing on a rainy day. Jitsie live stream some UK trials, the scott, some of the SSDT and i think they do an indoor event in germany or somewhere in europe. No big names at it. Their footage i would class as decent. IMO not worth paying for, but if youve already paid for it, worth chcecking out when its on Most x-trials start around 7-8pm cet time so thats around 1pm CT in america. PS im in the UK, but x-trial.tv i assume should be avaible to you in Canada.

Andy used to keep the site up to date with current news. Been years since ive seen him post. As you say, theres lots of other places to get up to date news, but trialscentrals forum is unique in its own way

Are you trolling? He was riding a gg an hour ago

No, im talking about the bent flange, they have all come bent to a certain degree, probably because theyve been fitted with an impact gun at the factory. Ive lived with it, because ive only had to take a front pipe off once (and i did what you did, straighten it as best i could before refitting) . The others never leaked at this joint so never had a reason to touch it. Heres my 2022 untouched fron the factory. Sorry for the crappy pic. Ive no lights in my garage at the moment

Every GG i had came like that from the factory. Your knocking does sound like lean mixture, but it also sounds like youre aware that it could be that

Have a look here https://www.thehellteam.com/technical-support/gas-gas-parts-and-service-manuals in the parts list section. Usually they have the bearing number in the name of the piece Edit: i had a quick look, looks like hk2020 and 20-26-4 for the main swingarm, and 6206 c3 fort he main bearings. I would not buy cheap branded main bearings though, always use a reputable brand like skf or fag. For the bushes, you will either have to try and buy them or get them made.

Shame, they looked 10 times better than the TRS does

Because its a 15 year old bike and youre calling it a trail bike id definietly suggest no less than 60:1

I seen a guy step off an r1 to have a go on a trials bike in a car park and had near killed himself inside 10 yards

Some people take them off to obtain more steering lock, and just put some heavy tape in its place. But i think your year of bike was prone to dinging the frame at that spot, so id advise to at least put something in its place

It could be the same as that fitted from 09 onwards which is part no. BT170002809. Actually on closer look, your hole is offset, the later ones had the hole in the middle
