Half the fun is the challenge, you might find it all to easy on a more modern bike. A high level exhaust as you say, 21" wheel and decent tyres, and move the footrests back somewhere about the swinging arm pivot. But where do you stop ? Is the rear rim 18 or 19" ? If 19 will limit choice for trials tyres.

Looks stuffed to me......

Hi Javier Looks fun, and cold - just like here !! Ross

Think they stole the photo to !

1980 SWM standard 52.5" 28.6% 1987 Aprilia standard 51.5" 28% 1982 SWM modified footrests 53" 25.5%

Also think about colour, if you get a common colour you can change it / get additional bikes, and she will never know !

Will it stay repaired ?

SWM's middle box has a perforated tube packed round with wool, common practice to cut hatch in back and repack, runs smoother and quieter. Might not be of relevance to TY's.

That's fantastic, I will add some more when I get a chance, hopefully later today I take it the higher the percentage the further forward the footrests are ? I'm really surprised how short the 348 is, somehow I imagined it would be one of the longest. Ross.

Interested to know what the standard wheelbase for TY175 & 250 actually is. feetupfun, you mention the distance between footrests & rear axel & wheelbase as being important, any figures ? Ross

I tend to throw the reserve tube away.

You OK ??

Hi Paul How much of a noticeable difference would an inch either way make ? Ross

Saw a new vee tyre the other day, rubber and carcass MUCH softer than they used to be. Seem to be heading in the right direction.

Do they not leave a gap between boots and Knee ?

A friend just bought a 348 Mont' and it had shims between bars and clamps, seems standard.

Really ?/ 2009 Gas Gas Txt Pro 280 Cracked Frame http://www.trialscen...ing-frame-this/ http://www.trialscen...-frame-problem/

Locals are against it (according to news program) as it would impact on tourism.

You mean de tyne ?

Better ask for shin guards to ....

Check where the rims joined before drilling !!

5 psi is ok for the front in rocky conditions, although you need to be careful, you don't realise how bad tyres are until you put new ones on !!
