I run 3 psi in the rear. No problems yet but I'm not a top level rider - nothing too agressive.

Makes sense - great design.

It looks like the belleville spring support "ring" (#15) sould be offered in different thicknesses, similar to what TRS does. They only list one so far.

Some questions come to mind: - Will they offer the same engine capacities? - How easy is it to access the carb? - Where is the e-start battery located? - Does the starter have an over running clutch or solenoid? - How much weight does e-start add? - Did they change the kickstand mount?

There's also a dmple on the end that conforms to the ball bearing if I'm not mistaken.

Originally a reliability trial, one point for footing (on hill sections) was introduced in 1931. Does anyone know when a contemporary scoring system was introduced and when the emphasis on reliability was dropped?

I haven't heard of this being an issue with Shercos but have you checked for a sheered woodruff key?

This works for me:

Then there's these: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1228477081/ultimate-tether?click_key=2595cfe7b9f3f4deeb43685556b3a86c0c44ad1d%3A1228477081&click_sum=f929a5f8&ref=shop_home_feat_3 . The magnet in the bead works keeps it from dangling around when off the bike. He also offers these caps: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1195989353/logoed-kill-switch-cap?click_key=5e2539f92b3190e4f857cf10f7c0589d30891fc3%3A1195989353&click_sum=b3be6e7a&ref=shop_home_feat_1 .

Here's mine. Wireway rack with three muffin fans - two facing up (one under the helmet, one blowing through two PVC pipe sections supporting the gloves), one facing down for the boots. Powered by a timer. I set it for four hours and forget it.

Not to mention long term storage. Fuel with ethanol seems to "go bad" three to four times faster than ethanol free.

Update:

This was discussed here (starting about half way down the page): https://www.advrider.com/f/threads/calling-out-trs-owners-questions-things-to-share.1288338/page-224

I thought people might get a kick out of this US based catalog from 1977. Prices (USD) appear to have gone up a bit since then. https://newenglandtrials.com/thetryalsshope/

I'm not sure the material makes much of a difference. If designed correctly, a different pipe might improve scavenging and have a slight cooling effect.
