Fair Warning... And A Manual?
Don't use a champion swap for NGK.

Sidi Boots
I kinda thought there must be some reason for a trials rider to want to be in China.

Rear Shock
Falcon always advertise in the back of TMX.

Sherco Air Box
Unfourtunately it probably isn't fine at all. You need to dry and make sure everything after the filter intake is spotless, because that is the filters job.

Rear Shock
Same length I think, I do believe Falcon can repair them.

Sherco Air Box
Oh dear dear dear.

Victory
Apparently there was some problem reading this card and some scores have been changed already, I should make a call.

Uncle Charlie's Tech Tips #439
Sounds like the thing was not set up right in the first place there charlie. A rule of thumb is that the perch should move just a litlle when forced by hand, i.e. under normal use it should stay where it is. As part of your overall prep and maintainence this should be checked over, tightened and realeased. With the old twinshockers this seemed to need doing every week and old habits die hard as they say. The principle here is one that it is better to have a lever ane master cylinder that will move in a crash than one which breaks. Handy andys tip No.666! Anti seize is good too, of course, particularily on different metals.

Sherco Air Box
I don't know that much about Beta airboxes, but for that to do anything on a sherco water would have to be going through the filter. Even my basic mechanical knowledge tells me that is bad, very bad.

Andrews Or Birkitt?
Have a go on john hollands bike, birks has just "breathed" on that and its like a switch.

Everything The Same But Why?
Don't take it to heart Gary you are a rider of great ability and no doubt your future has many good results in it, but at 21 the WTC should be where its at.

Everything The Same But Why?
Why is that?

Everything The Same But Why?
I'm just jealous really never got anywhere near the ability of doing a world round even when they were not out of reach, so to speak.

2nd Round British Youth Champs
Results from round in Kent today (4.4.04) Wigg 10 Sampson22 Brown 25 Haslam 37 jones 43

Everything The Same But Why?
Yeah, it sounds like a sky sports reporters comments " when the chips are down" or "when he's got something to prove" he always seems to do it, not at all sure why though. Raga and Caby were a bit behind aswell, don't just beat them give them the cane! Shaun Morris has made a good start though all credit to him, thought Sam Connor had the experience now to best him but 5 brits in the top 15 ain't bad. Bou is coming on strong and looking at Colomers' prodigy it looks like Spain has got the next world champ but not before Doug does EIGHT! Pye got 2 threes all weekend, nice try son.

Everything The Same But Why?
Just a few obsevations on scores on day 1 in Bangor. Adam Raga is without doubt a cut above the others indoor, precision skill and control but in the outdoor his score is 20% more, I can't get my head round that? Doug had the most cleans 17 vs. 15 for fuji, expect this to tell today, he will win. Why is grimbo twice the top boys scores? Is it because he has been training alot in Spain? Expect a much better result day 2. Come on you other brits, Shaun Morris scores his first point although well behind his old rival Blazusiak, Sam Connor has at least not finished 15th or 16th, he needs a good score although I know he has an injured ankle.What is David Pye doing, one 3 all day, think its time to get behind the ropes and spectate! The juniors, watch out for Laia Sainz, I think Tom Sagar should give up enduros and get practicing, getting beaten by a girl! She's not far behind the top two either, well done her.

British Youth Trials
All ACU members are given a handbook I guess the info is in there.
-
'05 Montesa
So they debut the thing without anyone in Europe having seen it and pull it from the ssdt(why?), yes lets think, again.
-
'05 Montesa
None whatsoever and sometimes less than that. Freixa and amos were down to ride them in the SSDT but have been pulled. Draw your own conclusions.

British Youth Trials
Same as every other 20 1st 17 2nd 15 13 11 10 etc etc All rounds count less one, usual for all ACU champs me thinks.

Tubeless Rears.
it was driven by wanting a tubeless rim and now I have a modern bike I didn't want to swap lh/rh braking. The rods are best for drum brakes I think and the sherpa set up isn't the best anyway. The Classic Champs has no strict rules on these things and I think birkett has Yamaha forks and swinging arm and wheels but I've never looked that closely.
-
Tubeless Rears.
I'm doing just that to my Sherpa, sherco rim laced to yamaha hub equals tubeless good brake and rhs rod, thats not really cheating is it not like Birketts suzuki!
