  1. I saw someone pushing one, once....
  2. Are the forks parallel to the head stock ? They are frequently at least 1.5° rake. New / different yokes to achieve parallel might be a quicker and cheaper alternative.
  3. Try Simply Supplements for heavier doses. Turmeric with black pepper is supposed to be easier for the body to absorbe.
  4. Trials boots had heels for decades, it's not a deal breaker 😂
  5. The engineering conundrum, I'd never assemble without anti sieze .....
  6. I had a 1960 trials bike mot'd successfully with no lights of any sort . (Bulb horn and cycle type Speedo fitted)
  7. When wes go out of business because you stole his design / intellectual property, and reproduced it, the trials community can thank you .
  8. 're 390 / 400 mm shocks, although only a marginal difference, shorter shocks will negatively affect the steering . My "personal" experience with moving footrest back 50mm resulted in a 40% increase in spring weight from 50 to 70 lbs.
  9. The angle of the shocks affects the leverage ratio, so bare that in mind when specifying spring rate. Moving footrests back will also require heavier springs. Too soft springs will result in the back end squating and affect your steering, in a bad way. MT43's are a great trail tyre, but a shocking trials one, completely worn out IRC's/ mitchelins are still better than brand new MT's ....
  10. Do you ride an electric bike, or can you buy vegan friendly petrol and oil ?
  11. If you are prepared to spend the money, a trick bantam is every bit as good as a standard fantic, but will cost 3 times the price.
