    no. the spindle is kept in place by the pinch bolt thats all.
  4. I think the us ones are 2020 GP
  5. There has always been satellite teams, to a greater or lesser extent going back to the "yellow submarine" british effort in the naughties. They come and go I guess. Billy green has got a scorpa deal, not sure about dunlop tyres. I think Moret was part of the deal RG had with the Mont/honda thing.
  6. yes 6 months ago..............
  7. i would modify central section if you want an improvement.
  8. Didnt marvin get the holeshot in the main?
  9. depends on head shape and size more than anything else. Airoh fits me ok but not everyone.
  10. check part 10 in diagram above isnt damaged as it wont work if it is.
  11. be good to know for definate, for others.
  12. I rode one for a few days in spain when montana adventures were running their trips. fantastic bike for tough trails and no real disadvantage except when you were doing moto x stuff. reliability is probably second to none, if maintained correctly. Fuel and therefore distance could be an issue but as they take straight petrol and the 1 litre under tank with a bit of planning you should be fine. harder the trail more fuel is used.
  13. Absolutely not possible in any way, rumours where and when?
  14. Isn't it both things together that is the pure essence of trials and why we keep coming back for more, why riding with mates in an event or possibly even practising, you dont HAVE to win the trial outright but you can achieve in lots of other ways, get up that hill, ride those rocks feet up, find grip where no one else does, every section can get a winner even if its only the best crash, to my mind trials is the forever giver if you're at all competitive?
  15. Your opinoin is bound to be wrong when based on no clear evidence, feelings and supposition are no substitute for facts and actual experience, in this case going to several WTC and seeing first hand what its like. Knowledge if you prefer. Perfectly illustrated by your "fleeced" comment. And the fact I rarely comment on the SSDT, cos Ive only been a couple of times to Fort William. I'm glad that you think its funny that I dont respect comments like " riders think the sport owes them a living" and prefer to challenge such sweeping untruths. But thats my perogative. I certainly dont have a desire to prove anyone wrong, but if i think someones coming from an opinion/feeling position rather than factual i'll call them out. Several times chasing that bone waiting for them to back it up, (which you couldnt) and now feel it better to avoid admitting an error resorting to vague personal insults. Twice. But thats your entitled opinion, but lets not fall out..
  16. Its not having a difference of opinion to "the master" whomever that may be, its more if you have an opinion back it up with reasoned facts or experience, and surely in a much wider context we have had enough of lies and untruths this past year? My original strong disagreement with " the sport owes them a living" was a great illustration of an illinformed personal opinion accusing decent young lads trying their best in trials based on nothing, then when asked to actually show why he held that opinion unable to put a coherent reasoned argument together and refusing to name the riders he was pointing at.
  17. and yet many complain about a £10 ACU licence (registration) for trials.
  18. Forums are for many things, it allows those with no hands on experience to promote opinions. In this case to base your opinion on heresay or what "you think or summise" is fair enough but simply not factually correct. Whoever shouts in a debate has lost the argument surely? And as if to prove my point I've never been fleeced, in fact more often than not got in for free. So there you go...........
