  3. Interesting, I have been riding trials for several decades, and have never seen anyone ace trials on their first attempt. I have seen riders with obvious ability , and those with cycle trials experience improve very quickly, but even so it generally takes years, not hours. Any videos of the rider you mention ?
  4. Copper slip is not recommend on aluminium, a specific aluminium anti seize should be used.

    For info only, the last couple of posts you have commented on are old so probably not worth your efforts

    Lots of YouTube vids on how to
  7. If you give a general idea of your location in sure someone will have suggestions.
  8. I've been using tescos finest e10, 50:1 with octane booster in an 1985 rotax with no issues. It does have a modern ignition and newish carb, and runs very well. What problems are you having with modern petrol ?
  9. Compared to discs, drums are generally poor, but, usually more than adequate. They do take more maintenance to work at their best. Twin shocks are slightly heavier, but way more fun, IMO. Costa Brava twin shock trial is next weekend, with several hundred entries, worth considering what the appeal is 😎

    If you're in the UK Richard Allen would be worth contacting.
  11. Behave, he's Merican .......
  12. You sound like a spoilt 13 year old.

  14. Glenlomond is a very good pay to play not far, if you can't find anything.
  15. IRC front is very good too. (whatever you put on, you will notice a massive impoverishment over old dunlops) As above, tube type IRC rear works well at 5.5 psi.
  16. I'm on my second Hebo with built in visor, essential in my opinion. Instantly available for branches, flying stones on tracks driving rain etc

    Which half of your head ?
  18. Or, get your father to build the ultimate bike 👍
  19. All the complexity of water cooling, then it runs at too low a temperature 😂😂😂😂
  20. b40rt replied to Beardy's topic in Introduce Yourself
    Agreed, defiantly no gears or clutches in an automatic transmission 😂😂😂😂😂

    Does it shift easily with the engine off ? If so, probably just clutch drag. What oil are you using, atf improves the smaller rotax's, plus a bit of technique 😁
  22. Peel the grip back and check what colour the tube is. Black slow, white fast action
  23. Defiantly join a local club, Cumberland County would be worth considering, lots of knowledgeable helpful people. Cycle trials skills seem to transfer pretty easily, so should give you a head start in your (evolutionary 😁) process.
  24. Whilst some manual gearboxes do use transmission fluids in place of gear oil, the same cannot be said for putting gear oil into an automatic transmission. Gear oil is much too viscous for these systems and will cause clogging between components. Interesting read 👍
