  1. Sorry to have to explain this to you...but the point is when you manufacture using high quality thin tubing and special cast brackets, frames rarely fail, even at wtc. Gubian s bike was the only dnf and that was broken crankases. so whats your point again?
  2. So the most lightened bike from standard with the most expensive and lightened components won both days so how does that sit with heaviest is best? Also no one has said how and if the weight limits were enforced?
  3. Fuji wins and bou second you think no stop hasnt helped that result?
  4. Wonder if the no stop rules have helped fuji raga and cabby stay up there?
  5. Apparently the montesa truck is coming to scotland, is that a re badged honda truck or the other way round?
  6. Does anyone know if the weight rule was enforced and how? I also wonder if the rule change to no stop is making the older riders carry on longer than they did in the past?
  7. Jack is not well enough to compete in this round or the next in japan I think, due to his injury from the indoor trial which was his first back from his unlucky injury at sheffield.
  8. Is there a definate decision that this bike will be produced for the general public to buy?
  9. my mates just said hes on a 3 slide going to check mine now.................
  10. using a beeder its possible to get a tyre to seat with a foot pump.
  11. Every vehicle never achieves the figures on mpg, but 37 in a van this size is very good, probably the best there is?
  12. yes thin rubber is always the best defence against sharp rocks, and which bikes came with gaitors?
  13. Easter will always bring reduced entries as there are plenty of other events on and thats without family stuff/work etc. The organisers simply need to get on with it and not worry about numbers. They did so very well at Mow Cop there is no reason why if they keep up this standard of events that the series will succeed where the Sebac failed/got swamped by over 40 or 50's. Build it and they will come! My entries in!
  14. Or do it the right way with a tyre beader. You can buy one from any good trials dealer and it will pay for itself in no time with ease of fitting safely. Its basically the bmx innertube made of sponge and works a treat.
  15. Its so easy to cheat a system which is a) not at all worth doing ie adding lead weight to comply, and easy to circumvent because everyone knows when and where the bikes are tested. the same thing happened/s with the fuel rule too.
  16. wont be long they come out (recently) to coincide with Raga riding one in wtc and SSDT My 2013 is soooo good I wont be changing I'm sure.
  17. Cos the tyre was full of water or the airbox had lead in it? Perhaps a weighing on the course at random would be better?
  18. Didnt even know tarres bike failed and im not even sure it was a beta? Dont go with this cant fail at anything, greeves did well enough with a bag of Shiiite so why not? All new bikes have faults till they are proved by the ordinary riders anyway?
  19. GAS GAS! Dont get this, as if a proto fails so what but if it finished , brilliant!
