    might have an old set in a box somewhere. its a cagiva bottom end i believe will look later.
  2. It is possible to replace rim tape and do a proper job but the modern integrated tapes are very tricky to seal.
  3. Complete rubbish, again. Didnt you say on another thread tapes were easy to fit??? Tubeless tyres have many benefits for the rider. A tube type tyre is a pain to fit, a total nightmare out in a competition to mend (saw a couple of lads trying to do it near Blackwater last week in rain and cold) and always needs constant maintenance. Grip is less with a tubed tubeless. Off a Xispa? very unlikely were any even in Northern europe?
  4. A tube is an easy and quick solution that will do the trick. You will lose a little bit of grip but unless you are riding in serious competitions it probably wont notice that much.
  5. Been here since the old site, what was it 14 years ago? so again fact check that Joni nouy come lately
  6. oh no how interesting you are please tell us. Was it when you realised you knew everything?
  7. To say lets go back in time and do it like the 70's 80's or whatever is naive in the extreme. Nothing will ever bring back trials bike sale to any level of even 20 % of the 70's, theres just too many other things to do and motorcyling isnt even a thing for the vast majority of youngsters. The fundamental thing is that a novice first time rider is not capable of anymore than they were 40 years ago, regardless of the improvements in bikes over the same time. What has improved year on year is the standard of the top guys. This is why we have so many routes even in club trials.
  8. sammy said this 20 years ago ?
  9. accuracy isnt @oni nou s strong point. couldnt find it anywhere either
  10. I saw 2 bikes up close last week as above is just a sherco with orange, but seems like its got more go.
  11. i think tear down. I have reduced my gear lever as much as i can so it breaks first, no help to you but poi.
  12. The observer was marking these stops as stops all day.
  13. The crowd were absolutely aware because the pa announcer told them the situation.
  14. Not only does he have sponsors he is a paid policeman. He doesn't actually work that much though so I understand.
  15. As i see it Gratterola (or anyone else as a similar 30 year old not quite made it in top class) is taking the place of a youngster on the way up, he could never beat Gubian Wigg Gomez in a championship when he was there first time round, and to my way of thinking hes a pot hunter.
  16. do you have a link?
  17. Gratterola will stay trial 2 and stop another youngster his moment of fame
  18. Care to comment @neils on wheels now?
  19. Allegedly marcelli fived a section yet the observer gave him a clean. Blatant cheating which resulted in police being drafted in I heard.
  20. 5th? When did he get 5th on a jotagas?
  21. Thanks will be appreciated by many I'm sure.
  22. The point you're missing is the 3 day, the scott and the ssdt are all fiercly competitive and whether its in a championship or not the same top riders will always want to COMPETE. A WTC is important to be the pinnacle of our sport and give the upcoming youth something to aim for, and to believe that when they win, as many British riders have, they are the best in the world. Good luck to Toby Martin btw in Italy next week. I would say the absolute opposite that most trials riders do take an interest, albeit a take it or leave it attitude, they will look at results etc.
  23. compact no seats works fine lwb you can sqeeze in 2 with seats. How many seats do you need? Ive made a custom bracket in my lwb so can fit just one seat which means we can get 3 in easily. Pal of mine moved seats forward in his lwb that worked well, a fair bit of work as he took all the lining out too.
