spen

I stick everything in a bum bag, keys, plug spanner, puncture outfit et cetera. On particularly hot days I've got a Camelbak haversack and drinks reservoir.

Adrian (t20racerman) will sort this. Have a look at some of the projects he's done over the years. www.t20suzuki.com

Hello Adrian, good to see you're finally sorting the OSSA. Will you be at Pembrey over Easter?

The later model is easier to ride, suspension is a lot better and the bike seems more 'balanced', but I prefer the earlier bike, it has more character. But the difference isn't vast......

Very handy. A bit of string did the job in the ol' days, but I went all techno'......?

Thanks, in that case check the exhaust is seating correctly inside the recess.

A ticking noise can sometimes be the exhaust to barrel joint starting to leak and 'pop'..... Try nipping it up, not too much, and see if it helps. Go for the simple things before you delve into the (expensive) things.....

Wide sections with a bit of tape either side to keep you in, but with several paths you could select from. And when the front wheel spindle stopped moving forward it was a 5. None of this stopping and lining up by hopping.?

Hahaha, that's what Bert Greeves intended.....

I've met up with John and we may well be doing a few trials together very soon. Top bloke.

I'm fairly sure they were calked Neval Minsk......

Found this, I was right, it was Hull...... http://www.cossackownersclub.co.uk/019_neval_regent_britaine.PDF

Saw this old thread.... the RTX was assembled in the UK, I believe out Hull way, (memory fade!). They were produced by a father and son team called Neville and Alan, hence the company name of NEVAL. I bought one around 1998 for my eldest daughter as a toy and a friend of mine used it in a twinshock trial for a laugh. His verdict at the time was it was fairly good but 'lacked steam' on climbs.

Already have.....

Decent music.....

John wants to keep the bike as close to how it came from the factory. I use Norman Blakemore for my retro stuff (NJB), he builds them to suit the weight of the rider, length required, et cetera.

I've never found any great difference in the performance of either type on trials bikes, they don't operate at quick enough speed to seem to make a difference. On the race bikes I've tried them and the speed in which they have to operate (up and down) there seems very little in it. I think the idea was to get rid of the problem of the old oil filled type 'frothing' and therefore going softer as the oil got hot. All my modern race bikes ('80's onwards) have gas shocks as they became standard fitment, but on trials bikes I've not seen any need for them.
