  1. Since when has pointing out the limitations or disadvantages of a device been arrogant. I had a 4rt and the last thing I would consider doing to it would be taking away the foot brake pedal. As i reasonably put above I have no doubt that it works well but its a bit strange that you seem unable to even consider that there is a fundamental flaw in the actual operation of the thing in trials. I am assuming that it is a crossover product and not designed initially for trials? You don't have to eat ****e to know it tastes bad, ditto this product. Best thing is you send me one and I'll try it out in a proper trial and practice and give everyone an honest independant view, and trust me I will be fair. It's unfortunate that topic's set in this forum have to put up with such personal attacks from a certain few, rather than concentrating on whether this product is good for a few or not.
  2. You have a rev 3 wheel and it fits an evo?
  3. Never had trouble with a condensor but they were always so cheap I changed them often.
  4. Will anyone at that price, to make riding more difficult? Luddite never, I was only two weeks behind vesty with the lead on the forks!!!
  5. Oh so true. Spoke to mike greenough back in the early eighties and candidly he was telling me he had had to change a less than gushing test of a new montesa by the request of the management. Don't think 30 years has changed much.
  6. Shouldn't there be a "something we have all done " in there too?
  7. points make sure they are cleaned, contact cleaner. Set timing at 2.5 mm btdc for easy starting. new plug not champion.
  8. points need cleaning and timing check first.
  9. Not convinced at all. Who is matt newland?
  10. Dougie is head and shoulders above the rest.
  11. re read my question it refers to the quote in the box not the topic here.
  12. so are you saying the brake comes on when you change gear?
  13. No sears here but we could do with a shop that opens that early on a sale saturday.
  14. I am not sying it doesn't work or isn't adjustable just simply there is never two identicle sections where you use the same amount of rear brake and clutch, unless I've been doing it wrong for 30 years? Two quick examples a little blip before a step section at the wallace, no brake at all requred and another when just rear brake and no clutch. I could go on and anyalyse every section but you get the idea.
  15. In this case an 03 sherco is generally better bet than an 99 gasser, if they are both in similar nick. 03 sherco versus 03 gasser is a personal preference. A sherco is easy to work on and very similar to the current bike. The gas gas has changed at least twice since the model you refer to.
  16. To ride trials you need to be able to use the rear brake and clutch independently and at infinately variable rates at every section. This is a non starter, unless you have a different sport down under?
  17. Millimetres are metric, inches is something different.
  18. Must be difficult for you, can you speak French ,Spanish or Italian? Now they are tough!
  19. results on http://www.northberksmcc.com/ mark those marks on time tut tut
  20. Sam Connor 3 sam Haslam 3 Chris pearson 3 Novagar winner Ross Danby 6 james Dabill 7 Clubman Maria conway 10
  21. I know its very hypothetical, but how good would he be today if he were that age again.
