  1. Irving's tuning for speed has suggested balance factors for the differing disciplines.
  2. That's a great watch! I'm sure one fella had a tie on? Oh and the one chaps sole was coming off his boot. Proper trial that one.
  3. Agree. I've some Clice trousers but they faded and bobbled pretty quick. Thought about trying running type leggings as they're cheap?
  4. Having recently ridden the hafran rally and in my mind an incredible event with amazing scenery and a fantastic way to spend a day. I thought I'd put it to the TC community to suggest amazing must do trials. Rate them on variation of terrain and scenery along with the nature of the event.
  5. Change springs (Saunders has heavier springs) I changed front on my rev3. 16.9 stones an pebbles. stopped weight pitching forwards so quickly in a turn and made front feel lighter over logs and such. No springs available for back end of rev or I'd change them.

    Brake Secrets

    Regarding leading/trailing edge. Road racing 4 leading shoe brakes need the leading edge sanding down as they get too grabby. Also I use narrower shoes in my BSA road bike for more power as they cover a lot of braking area and it works for me.
  7. Tyres have a date on too if its applicable.
  8. Ah bless. You only asked what was on and got stick for it.
  9. Ok. I've a 530 vertemati you can borrow for the next round.
  10. Found this whilst looking for some footage of the superenduro event. Not trials specific but I think most will appreciate the skill and determination shown in this video. Take a look at this video on YouTube:
  11. Rich, put link of tubby vid on here. Shows trials ain't just for the elite.
  12. I do need help. Do we have a therapist on the forum?
  13. Reading with interest. Promoting bikes is a difficult one to those that drive cars. How many drivers on the road can't change a wheel or check there oil or fluids? When I tell friends and colleagues about my bike riding they all say they'd like to try it. I've even got spare bikes to lend em. 2 friends tried it, just at some practice ground. They fell off and promptly got banned by there lady folk for hanging round with me and motorcycles. They didn't even get hurt. I'd like to see the clubs advertise an event a bit more widespread. Local papers an such. Reach a new audience. Dave 'Tubby'

  17. I use a filter cleaning kit and it breaks the old oil down really easily. I think the filter cleaner is paint brush cleaner? Feels like it and smells like it.
  18. Any bike is a good start as long as its not too big. Go for the best condition you can afford and you'll have a great time. I ride a beta so I'm biased but give it a go and you'll wonder why you didn't start years ago! Bvm Stroud are doing a test day but maybe a bit far for you?
  19. Sent a fax to Robin at falcon. He called me. Payment was made. Job done.
  20. Got a tiger cub project I'm working on and need some shocks as the njb fitted are too soft and tired. Problem is that nobody answers the phone. I've tried Robin on numerous occasions and have got nothing. A friend suggested Rockshocks so I called them. Nothing. I've tried at different times of day too. I'd like to buy British but them betors will get the job done!!
  21. Great video. Seems nice and relaxed with a good variation in machinery.
