  1. It's just fun, go out and get familiar with the bike. Standing up doesn't always come naturally. Make an effort to relax your body when riding. There is no instant gratification in trials, it takes time. Personally I wouldn't worry/practice static balance or big steps just yet.
  2. Nothing wrong with correctly installed and loctited helicoils, lots of misinformation about them.
  3. Something like 90% of injury in trials is to the lower legs, good boots plus shin and knee protection are a must IMO. If your going to Drumcarrow today, there are usually a couple of guys there who sell boots. Also look up Murdo Macphail on Facebook, he often has second hand boots, and also budget new boots.
  4. Another club to consider is east neuk wobblers, great for starting out riders. They have a trial this Sunday at Drumcarrow, worth a visit. (Its fairly exposed at Drumcarrow, so plenty of clothes if your spectating )
  5. If you have access to machining, but a blank from ebay. They are available in a range of sizes. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLANK-REAR-SPROCKET-60T-520-CHAIN-SIZE-IN-7075-T6-DURAL-55mm-MACHINING-HOLE/165796871957?epid=6007943585&hash=item269a437f15:g:SBQAAOSwc2FZ8KYd&amdata=enc:AQAHAAAAoOiyUQ7pU23hZp4ktuWpuxbAxJEYKQ7UnW++bnNyV4QYxNsKW4TTtLnJ0UZ0Fu0gQm1hjlsOtSvHFEpQg9eRbLSDsMllGitdioZI3sw8pmZTxi7yT05XTb5+xlL95QPitXS8xEDzV2P/Ujd5zMBxcOFYAHPLceGJErRxXX4+vkNtlAMMWVNBzTLiQrwrNDap2jzV5d77B0y5UyUhEtwQCIE=|tkp:Bk9SR-a8nuaVYQ&pageci=b171333b-e727-4eba-a0b0-caebb2b8dfa9&redirect=mobile
  6. Unfortunately not, bucket list 😎
  7. Costa Brava trial last weekend had hand held devices. Each riders number also had a bad code, at the end of the section it was scanned, their score entered and presumably transmitted live. Speak to some one who was there , or the organisations more info.
  8. Did you get stay up floats and aluminium needle ? Float level is critical, you must get that right before anything else. When adjusting the air screw, it is incredibly sensitive so use caution.
  9. " For "lovely interesting engineering and character": Bultaco, Ossa, SWM. (Bultacos are coolest) " SWM's aren't really of the same generation as Bultacos etc, very successful bike in its day, very good quality components, generally cheaper now than others mentioned, no idea why. Most parts available at reasonable prices. No real flaws if maintained, unlike virtually all the other makes mentioned.

    TY250 Flywheel

    Maybe the flywheel you have is from a TY350 ??
  11. Martin Pennycook also.
  12. Gerry Minshall is one of the best sources for many pre 65 parts. Look him up on Facebook.
  13. I've never even seen pictures of 2 up seat for txr312, I'm not sure the sub frame was designed for this.
  14. Or just go to a friendly / educated test station and save the hassel 😎
  15. One of the reasons they didn't use the clutch, back in the day, was because you couldn't πŸ˜‚

    Tx300

    @tshock250 😁
  17. I ran a 428 chains on a 120kg bsa for many years (plus 80++kg rider) More than capable, and lighter as stated above.

    Oil leak

    I think there should be a felt seal on the sprocket side. Thinner oils and higher temps will exaggerate the problem.
  19. Can you not achieve the desired gearing with a few more teeth on the rear ? More flywheel would slow the engine response ?
  20. You sound a nice person ....
