  1. Hi, What are my options for fork seals for 2004/5 Scorpa SY250 with the Paioli forks? Prefer something in the USA. Cheers
  2. my TY350 has 38-10. I like how it rolls in first gear and little throttle, but they started to wear out and need to be replaced. The 35-10 setting will be faster, right?
  3. Hi, What was the number of teeth on the front and rear sprockets out from the factory? what are you using today? Cheers
  4. I know, but they are very rare and mostly overpriced.
  5. Hello, is someone here has any experience in racing XC or Hare Scramble with 70's Cota 247? I really like the design and the model of the Cota 247 and I have one (1970) for trials competitions only. I'm thinking to purchase anther one for the races above (I prefer the models with the gear lever on the left side). I was wondering if the Cota is up for the task. I would like to hear you opinions.

    Damping for trials

    Thanks guys. Great information. I think I will stay with one length spring, either NJB or Falcon.

    Damping for trials

    Would you say that the NJB Ultimate shocks are better option because they allow the rider to adjust the shock length? Is the length is critical as the spring pre load?

    Damping for trials

    Is 1.1:1 considered low leverage? Falcon shocks offered me 50lb springs. I'm around 80kg with gear. Is 50LB will be much of a difference from 40LB?

    Damping for trials

    You mean 60LB? and by "low leverage" you mean light damping?
  10. Is this price for one or pair? If for pair, it's good price.

    Damping for trials

    Thank you! Valuable information. I think I will choose the lighter damping version, since I am riding only trials with the bike.
  12. I have a follow up question in my search for new rear shocks for vintage trials competitions. What does "Damping" mean and what is the actual different in riding with "standard damping" or with "light/ super light damping"? Thanks.
  13. Thank you guys for your inputs.
  14. Do you have any experience with the NJB shocks?
  15. A little background: Me- 6ft. weight 175lb with gear. Bike- 1970 Montesa Cota 247 with unknown brand of rear shocks. The shocks can be adjust, but I can't turn the adjuster. See photos. Skill level- beginner. where- riding in vintage trials competitions in woods with a lot of uphills and downhills. Goal- keep getting better and score more points. Budget- unfortunately tight. I don't want to spend more than 200GBP include shipping to USA. At first I was intrigue by the OZO "Expert" shocks. The price is 90GBP before shipping and they seems good upgrade for trial competitions. Then I start reading and found out a world full of rear shocks upgrade. Unfortunately most of them is out of reach. One that I can afford is the steel version of Falcon with 50LB spring (according to their recommendation). I would like please to read any thoughts of which shocks are preferred or maybe something I'm missing. Thanks
