  1. Sort of. Think he tried it in one or two of the outdoors last year as well. Think Fuji is the only one who has stuck with it till now, maybe its an in door thing lots of noise? Gratterola in the Juniors had one in italy and poland.
  2. errrr yes, the helmet and the attached mic are the same as at the previous round in Marseille a couple of weeks ago.
  3. My guess is its the same one he had on in marseille.
  4. Wasn't joe Baker on one of those?
  5. It would help if we knew where in the world you were? I always used atf/tqf in the UK its cheap available everywhere and can be changed frequently.
  6. Were you at Nantmawr? Punes effort was amazing but its not like for like, he was up against the best trialers in the country and trounced them. Then did the same with knighter. But it is not fair to compare when they were on completely different bikes and pune was tired from the previous race so its just not possible to say this one or that was better, or would do better than whoever in enduros. My opionion is Michael has alot more to give to trials first before he retires into Enduro! Taddy left trials cos he couldn't get decent funding to do the wtc I believe. I don't think he has had any great showing in ordinary enduros, he has excelled at these extreme events because the trials background is a big big advantage. Look at the vegas vids it shows really good trials technique when goin over rocks in a corner when others are struggling. Browny won twice and took home the $$$ nuff said.
  7. Whats dbt? Is jarvis competing or organising?
  8. Try an iris, a few don't like them but they work for me fine. Just put a half link in mine to day and rivetted it in!!! That cse in metalwork wasn't wasted...............
  9. Certainly on our section(yes perce our section) Knighter was like a bag of **** compared to the trials boys. I am convinced this is because on an enduro/mx the bike soaks up alot more with the longer travel and requires less imput from the rider, what you're used to rather than any reflection of what you can or can't do. Put browny on an enduro round nantmawr then we might see a different result!
  10. As a generality here in the uk the need for jetting is very unusual, except with 125cc tuned bikes, the rest are usually near?
  11. Kehin or dellorto? Rev 3 as profile or gas gas what cc? Boysen shouldn't change jet size much if at all, never did with mine.
  12. Don't think renthal do a half link
  13. M sport have them in stock, the price has just gone up so
  14. Bultaco brakes like most ts drums are not that good but don't see how a differentmake will help. Road bikes of the same era had twin leading shoes that would be better. The thing that makes them work better is to make sure all the componantry is 100% and yours could be 50 % of the trouble. Rod back gives the best results, I have bushed the pivot points as well before now which helped. Long arm s on both as well.

    Cheap 4rt

    Too cheap its not that nicked spanish one is it?
  16. Parking was a nightmare, and very expensive.
  17. Answer the following What is the off set of the wheel? How will you know the correct tension to tighten to? Can you memorise the pattern of the spokes? Are your bearings 100%? What tooling will you use for truing? What do you true first height or width? If you can clearly answer these then have a go but what about a bit of overtime and let an expert do it? All the people above let someone else do it for a very good reason, it is cheaper in the long run.
  18. Speed Trial top 3 Browny (some way in front) Jarvis Wigg
  19. Keep your ears open as MK will have a practice area soon.
  20. I bent my tab in which has the efffect of pointing it back a bit, its now in and backa bit(obvious!) and in the right place to use. Sherco ones fit allegedly.
  21. That was supposed to be a surprise, official launch in March I think.
