Busto and Fajardo to Gas Gas
Still waiting for my tenner, dont hold your breath !

Fantic 200 Front Forks
Yes, each leg. On very hot days I usually vent the forks to avoid "air spring" As Patrik said, use steel / alloy spacers to adjust sag. New springs are probably a good idea. ATF is about 7.5 at.

Try aft, anything between 190 & 220 ml.

Triumph cub trials
Not quite the same, but the oil down the rocker cover defiantly works on a b40. Might also be worth removing oil pipe from tank and checking its flowing before attaching to pump.

Ktm Trial Bike
I thought changing the length of the shocks, was changing the steering head angle the easy way ??

New Boots
At beginning of trial, stand in water about 6" deep for as long as it takes to get boots saturated. Then ride trial, should be broken in by end. Dry in a cool draughty place. (this doesnt work for lorica as it doesnt seem to hold any water)

Why are Spanish riders so good? And other chit chat
Damage to flora and fauna is becoming more of an issue, every year. In many of the national parks you are not allowed to cycle or run !! Interestingly, where bikes have created / maintained a path, in the event of a forrest fire, the path forms a natural barrier and can help control spread.

Stolen Betas
The police probably have a haphazard system I have no doubt, but trials organisers have no access to it, so how would they check vins ?

Try starting without choke, if it does its flooding.

I think it was suggested that acu should support up and coming riders by increasing the license fee in line with Spain !

@greychapel Would you be prepared to pay £300 a year for a license ? The fee isn't popular with a lot of Spanish riders, and would probably kill the sport in the UK.

The Ultimate Trials Mancave
@ironbelly It is an open forum !! I've just never found the argument "if you disagree with me you must be jealous," a very convincing one.

Boots for ankle support / Helmet
I have used leather boots from many manufacturers, they all get soft and lose some protection, when saturated. Sidi, being made of Lorica, don't seem to suffer from this. I initially found them a bit clumsy, but soon got used to them. Definitely the best protection I've experienced. (Incidentally, they are small, go up one size)

Notable trials coming up in 2018 - Pre65 Scottish and SSDT. http://www.ssdt.org Highland 2 Day http://www.idmcc.co.uk/highland-classic-trial/ To compete in either of these, your biggest issue is going to be insurance. Both events would require re-patriation of some sort, usually from your governing body, IF that can be arranged !

At a recent trial at Hope Farm, Northumberland, on the expert course 17 of the 19 riders were on 2 stroke - the winner was on 4t.- question who can confirm these Beta Techno Upgrades will fit?s that fit?
Reducing the diameter by,say,200g. Or removing 200g from the depth will have very different results. - Sherpa 250 Vs Sherpa 175?
