  1. Rear suspension must be compromised for hoping against traction ?
  2. This covers it pretty much. Trials is very physical, it will take time to get bike fit.
  3. Take the pads to a good bike shop, they should have a book with 1:1 scale drawings of pads and will hopefully match them.
  4. Is that not true of any sport, in reality the people at the top are in a different league so not " relevant " to the average rider ?
  5. Is the plug wet ? Have you changed the fuel ? Have you changed the plug, again ?
  6. Such an optimist, getting a positive from a negative !
  7. Don't know about cyclists in your part of the world, but in Edinburgh the majority are complete a r s e h o l e s, so paying way over the odds merely confirms it !
  8. Spain http://xiurdi.com/works/embrague-hidraulico-hebo/
  9. "Keep in mind that early two strokes didnt have reed valves." --Biff Early 2 strokes were piston ported, so your comment is not relevant. (They didn't have cdi' s or hall sensors either ! )

    Cuting Out

    Electrics can be affected by heat, particularly condensors and coils.
  11. This might not be your problem, but damaged reeds WILL stop it running.

    Cuting Out

    Have you tried a new plug ? Is it the correct one ?

  14. Didn't you bet me a tenner that Scorpa wouldn't last a year, about 3 years ago ?

    Questionable Design

    Rotax engines from the 80's had a magnesium content, still plenty going strong.
  16. Does it use individual rear wheel brakes to steer ?
  17. Get both, if you have the money.
  18. I tried to get a quote from footman James, explained about having supplementary insurance from ACU, they refused to even quote me. Check that your actually covered. I have no history of claims, or ave issues.
  19. Soak in diesel, blow off with air line, boil in chainguard. 2 to 3 chains per pair of sprockets.
  20. Tubeless wont stay on Morad rims either, in my experience.
  21. I to use talon clamps, more expensive initially, but seem to last a lot longer. As above, only one on rear of my swm, with no more movement than normal. Irc sidewalls are so flexible not really a problem fitting it in. Incidentally, I have a tubless irc on an akront rim with no issues of it dropping into well at 5 psi.
  22. Fair point Woody, problem is, when it becomes uneconomic to produce tube tyres I will have to spend about £200 a wheel to convert them to tubless. I see few positives, and plenty of negatives.
