Thanks, that makes sense. I'll wait until the shop get back to me to see if they actually stock the caliper with the angled cut, but they seem to be just as confused as me. It's strange that the picture on the website shows it and that the part numbers match, but the actual caliper itself is different to the picture and different to what was on the bike. As you you say if all else fails I can have a go at making the mod myself.

Thanks @Tr1AL, I'll have a look in to the vacuum bleed kit. I'm relatively new to trials and trying to learn on the job with regards to maintenance and repairs, so any tips are very useful.

Seeking advice on the above subject. I need a new rear brake caliper for my Gas Gas TXT pro 2010. The caliper that I removed from the bike had an angled cut on the caliper hanger/carrier part of the caliper. I ordered a new one (part number 365019MO0), but when it came it didn't have the angled cut, even though on the website it was shown in the picture of the caliper. I've been in touch with the shop and they say that the part numbers match up with Gas Gas catalogue etc. Has anyone else had the same issue when trying to get a new rear caliper with the angled cut on the carrier/hanger part, and does anyone know if the caliper without the angled cut would fit the Gas Gas TXT pro 250 2010 without causing problems (everything else on the caliper matches the old one that came off the bike). I was thinking that maybe the angled cut caliper was an older standard model which fits both the Gas Gas and other bikes, and maybe the version without the angled cut is a new standard model that still fits the Gas Gas but maybe not other bikes. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah I think I was drawn in by the quick loading selling point when in reality it only saves a minute or so. I think straps or something similar to what @htrdoug explained above would be more than adequate. Thanks all for your input.

As @Reffus says wouldn't mind a bit more detail on your setup @htrdoug. Looks like a good solution. Any links to where you got the components from would be much appreciated. I'll hold off on the quickload for now and see if I can get any more info, sounds like they might not be the greatest thing for trials bikes.

Thanks very much for this. Looks like the quickload system might be worth a try. I'll be sure to repost if/when purchased and tested.

Hello All, Just getting started in trials and I'm looking at the best way to transport bikes in the back of a van. The proworks quickload system looks like it would be ideal but I'm not sure if trials bikes would be too narrow for the footpegs to fit into the footpeg clamps, the system looks like it's designed mainly for MX/enduro bikes. Could anyone give me an idea of the width of trials bikes from footpeg tip to footpeg tip, or let me know if the quickload system is already in use by anyone on the forum? The bikes I'm looking at are a Beta 80 junior for the lad and a 250/300 (not sure what manufacturer yet) for myself. Below are the dimensions of the 3 proworks quickload systems: 125cc-500cc - height 420mm x width 230mm x length 460mm, footpeg height 320mm (https://www.24mx.co.uk/product/proworks-quickload-transport-system-125-500cc_pid-HDS-01B?dfw_tracker=63416-HDS-01B&gclid=Cj0KCQjw_O2lBhCFARIsAB0E8B_Th4YAmLngeyXYDj05aDTHAl-fmJ_iWxM_VZA0FdY4z29cLDHL5wkaAnoPEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds) 85cc - height 370mm x width 225mm x length 460mm, footpeg height 270mm (https://www.24mx.co.uk/product/proworks-quickload-transport-system-85cc_pid-PM-0073187?nosto=is-pdp-brand-cross-sale) 65cc - height 300mm x width 225mm x length 420mm, footpeg height 200mm (https://www.24mx.co.uk/product/proworks-quickload-transport-system-65cc_pid-HDS-01B-J65?nosto=is-pdp-brand-cross-sale) Above are how the dimensions are listed on the website, the 'length' (I think it should be described as width) is the critical dimension. I'm assuming the footpeg height dimension is the measurement from the floor to the top of the lower clamp and that this measurement is the minimum height that the foot pegs on the bike can measure in at, although I'm not sure (I did ask this question on the website but they couldn't answer it).. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. Ben
