Need 315 rings as well from somewhere......

I got one also from Steve Goode, but not sure it's not a gas gas top and adapted bottom. I bought a new kickstart shaft from someone who had a small batch made.

i dont like alpinstars and a pal who swore by them has gone stylmartin now.

There is absolutely no difference in polluting vehicles (although even recently it was diesels that were best now its petrol) but as the gaurdian article indicates, its not a few trials bikes in any enviroment which causes asthma in london, and its here that concerns us surely. Global or world is there a difference? Yes everything has an effect on the Ozone, unless you're trump of course, but whats a thousand trials bikes equal to? 1 jumbo taking off at heathrow? Oh right in your world (or globe) they will be electric in "a few years"

You clearly have no way to construct any simple arguments to back up a single statement you've made, frustratingly. regulate against it, against what ?? how?? End to it, What? they legally, who are they? Legally prohibit? How/who would police it when you cant even get a copper to come out to a burglary or vehicle theft currently? By governments, its our government you plonker. The thing is I can see a place for electric and it may very well be coming but not for many many years if ever. It doesnt in the slightest interest me or the massive majority of off roaders, either here or where ive ridden in spain and France. OUR government couldnt ban ice cos there are far too many of them around, billions in gdp dependent on them, and even with gradual regulation and restrictions there would always be exceptions and concessions just as classic vehicle have NOW. To think that electric bikes will ever take over trials completly well you might be right in 100 years but I even doubt that.

I said they wont ban ice. Its impossible to "ban" ice. You can make rules and regulations to stop further sales, my van is euro 6, but you cant ban whats there

well spotted @trialnick

that answer makes no sense, i do get the impression you are not either standing by your statements or dont believe them in the first place? You clearly have no understanding of the point I was making about the South Circular. FYI https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/jul/04/report-links-childs-asthma-death-to-illegal-levels-of-air-pollution

shercos did till a problem arose.

if you mean "why are you swearing" i didnt mean to offend, but seriously if putting F in a sentance upsets you I promise I wont do it again.

when they ban ice? when precisly would that be? When the change to electric bikes? when exactly would that be?

apologies I must admit I forgot the Gas Gas was for sale at 12500 euros, has a single one been sold in this country? didnt the meccatechno importer stop "importing" bikes to the uk cos they didnt sell? there is a czech company is there? shame we dont knoe f all about them either.

as i regularily go to the south circular as one of my children lives close by I dont need a lecture from you, and doubt that the change from every trial bike in the country to electric would make any difference to polution so this is clearly a spurious point from you. I cant remember ever seeing a trials bike in the whole of south london ever? (Not since I was last at comerfords of course) But sure you will know the answer to that too?

3 manufacturers? producing bikes? where can i test and ride these manuafacturers small production runs?

Enlighten us why have torrot bought gas gas?

why didnt you become a politician @oni nou cos you sure havnt answered f all. This is what i cant stand oh electric bikes this electric bikes that, yes but when? near future, what in relation to the history of time say 3000 years? is that the distant future? My point is people are happy with internal combustion engines and riding a long lap road trial or even 4 laps of a pocket hanky course but electric bikes cost (or will) cost a fair bit more and wont last the distance with the battery which needs charging and cant be poured out of a can. the switch aint happening anytime soon. soon as in 10 years. Turkeys voting for christmas imho.

stop to what? very near future? how long is that?

there is a way to set it up with fibre plates which give more friction but less pressure. Back in the day we set them up so it would maybe just slip in top then backed it in a little bit and it was minimum preload which gives easiest pull on lever. As above new cable and tangent the arm. I prefer the long arm but you must make sure you get free play and full disengagement. cable oil pj1 every ride.

0k check timing easy to do. and check fuel is fresh and carb works. ditch the starting fluid.

doesnt exist.

jon other way round?

is there a spark of any kind? have you tried the low side wire before coil?

its not the same. Not at all. It was to discourage 2 strokes that the rule in mx was brought in probably over 10 years ago? there was a rumour that trials would go 4t so gas gas sherco and the 4rt came out, although the only 4t bike for many years was the 4rt. In mx as the double capacity (almost in mx1) give an advantage all manufacturers now produce their own 4ts. Not so in trials. several times the trials rules have been "adjusted" to suit Spain, Spanish riders and Montesa hrc.

so let me get this 100% clear @Intotrials. Is breaking 3 vertebrae serious or not?

so the honda influence reigns again. So yes if they can go to 300 they could be fairly trick.
