Thanks... the first one is amazing! the second shows as unavailable... great to see some awesome video of the Sheffield event!
-
Double checking, but you did look to see if the part numbers are different from the 4Ride? And you might also want to check the rear brake lever length and part number as it might be to far forward after swapping the brackets.
-
I thought the best way to do this was to swap the standard 4Ride peg brackets for the 2017 standard 4RT 260 peg brackets. Way better rearward set than just foot pegs.
Or is it the 300RR brackets...?
-
Not sure, but I think it might have been a combination of being excluded from X-Trial, on account of his age, and his performance last year in TrialGP.
Weather my speculation is correct or not l am just glad he is with us for 2018!

Oh and fort trials boots that are a little stiffer I would think if you can find a pair of the Sidi Discovery Rain boots, they are trials boots that where stiffened up a bit for dual sport riding. Should be about as good as you can get for a mix of support and trials ride/play. And they should loosen up a bit over time to make it a little more fun as you get more advanced.
-
Alpinestars tech3 are going to be very restrictive by comparison to the Alpinestars tech-T's when doing trials... Even having fun in the woods on a trials bike I wouldn't go MX boots but that's my 2 cents.
The issue with the boots isn't just walking its position on the bike, take a look at rider videos and watch the feet. I flex my feet all over the place when I ride, you start going up and down big hills, logs, rocks etc. you will find out how quick the boots limit you if they are MX stile.
-
Check slack in the throttle cable?
-
Ya, unless I do something my Montesa just doesn't like it's 1-2 kicks to start cold and 1 kick warm every time.
bikes are individual for sure.
-
The could see a possibility of someone doing a retro style with some newer technology.
But a better question would be, is it likely? I don't see it.
-
A part of me want you to be wrong, but in truth I think there will be at least a few that will have it.
The GP bike models will likely not have one, at least that's my perception.
-
To me a man cave is where the man wants to spend his free time when it's time to step away from it all, whether that's a shop with tools or a glorified office with trials motorcycles and other fun stuff it doesn't really matter it's up to him.
My 2 cents.
-
I want a mancave like that... hmmm, how to pull off getting one? Make more $ to start maybe... LOL
-
I don't remember him saying he was going to road ride, if so then yes 5-7 front and 3-5 rear is very low...
-
I am so with you on this, I would be happy to pay a yearly fee to watch it all with some race commentary even if it's a day or two after the event... give me all of it!!! please!
-
Having one and that one they have being affective are two different things... and I currently feel they are not being effective.
And yes, this is my opinion not fact.
-
That's the trick there isn't it, it isn't just the mass and/or inertia, it's the package all together. How it affects the spin up speed, the riders timing changes, etc.
And even a small amount of change can make it feel different tell you become acclimated to that change.
-
Not typically one to complain but, wow it just seems to suck how they run things.
If they really want to grow the sport they will need some more experience in dealing with online media and exposure of events etc.
-
As above if you can find some riders to go with you will do best.
if you really can't get together with some other riders then you can start off with something like the Ryan Young training DVD and a video camera. Watch the video, record yourself doing the moves, then compare that to the video. Isn't as good as riding buddies but at least will show you more of what your doing good or bad at.
-
At that temperature your tires will be a bit harder and the ground with snow was likely a bit damp so could cause a bit of grip issues.
Amplify that slight grip loss with not putting the weight back it will cause what you described. I really learned this by riding in the cold and snow on purpose. Was well worth the snow play.
-
I have heard it called something like "moment of inertia" a combination of the mass of the crank, piston, flywheel, etc. in junction with the amount of fuel being combusted.
It is a bit more complex than I have writing skills to describe, but my best attempt is, that your working against more moving mass in a 300 so it's more work. However, how much more I wouldn't be able to say but even between both my 07 Montesa 4RT and 17 Montesa 300 RR I believe I can feel a slight difference.
-
Pivot pegs will not be as good for more advanced trials moves as they will not provide the ability to move your foot to the outer edges of the peg to give the input you would benefit most by.
I would expect that zaps, hoping, splatters, etc to be very hard on them.
might be ok for novice or trails.
-
Wife's bike is a Gas Gas 125 (6 speed), kids old bike was a Beta 80 (6 speed) and her and I now both ride Montesa and we both love them, 5 speeds and all.
Not much of a fan of the 6 speed in the Gas Gas or it's 4th to 5th clunky-ness. Would take something like my daughters old Beta 80 6 speed over the Gas Gas or just stick to the 5 speed.
After a good ride on my old Montesa, in late fall this year, my wife is interested in switching to a Montesa as well.
hope that helps.
-
If you really want a top end open set I would go with the S3. There is also a set here (http://rypusa.com/rq-foot-peg/) that are good if you want to spend a bit less.
-
Not sure I needed to say it but always best to cover the basics...
-
Cedar wood chips in a sock stuffed inside as soon as you stop riding can help a lot.
Remove and clean the liner on a regular schedule.
some have used different forms of alcohol, including Vodka. (Most of the time it takes more than once to get it back to normal and being consistent after that to keep it that way.
Good luck.
