  1. If you thught the 250 tlr gutless then bear in mind (a) this is half the capacity and ( this is a trail engine not a trial motor, horses for courses.
  2. Many variables here, but as the top guys run around 4/5 psi in the rear and hit large rock steps in 3rd that would be fine for you. 5 in a michelin shouldn't give any trouble at all and good traction for a 13stoner.
  3. Over 40 myself and always had 290's, as long as you have reasonable throttle control they are fine. The general consensus before the 04 was that the 250 was a little more snappier anyway so a 290 is the choice, forget what tmx say.
  4. Very strange, never had a problem starting on any of my 290's. Check and clean cab check and clean magneto, spark plug gap etc all the basic stuff but that is unusual. Float level set at 18.5?
  5. Very soon it will be 125cc, I think thats already the case in Europe.
  6. It was good enough for me thats for sure. But guess thats lame as well?
  7. Its you not the bike the grip is not as easy to get as some would lead you to believe and there is not alot you can do on set up to alter it. Perhaps olly can post his tweaks for us all to see?
  8. The same as 5lbs with a tube.
  9. I do see you point of view, but if I said ride every trial with 7lbs in your tyre would you? Lame, why?
  10. Dave Thorpe said that theres less grip with a tube so thats good enough for me. Also adding another spring cannot be the same can it?

    Any News

    I think also it was the name of elbandidos team in the seventies.
  12. Only if it has a removable liner is it worth considering, imho.
  13. Me too, use tqf, change frequently, doesn't do it, if ridden regularily.
  14. The thought of being that close to her underwear is dreamland for me anyway!
  15. No, your montesa doesn't look slimmer next to you! I think Linda Meyer deliberately has a VPL, but then she never has big pants so thats ok in my book.
  16. Speedy world motors actually.
  17. Is it just me or is Laia Sanz (note spelling) looking slimmer? I know sam Connor seemed to change shape when he went to Montesa but Laia seems to have shed a few llbs?
  18. I have already booked up for the accomodation for the 4 jour de creuse, as the TDF is going through the day before the trial and nearby the day after.
  19. I've always gone for "the full english" but after reading Bernies book think maybe not beating Perce is simply down to what I eat. What, joking apart, is the best food on the morning of the trial?
  20. As chales said establish ehere the leak is first.
  21. Allegedly every thursday at 6.00pm on m and m.
  22. got one for christmas from merlin books.
  23. Dan Thorpe won on 5.Phillipson 8 Sagar 9 (N) timp9(n) walker 11(n) Dabill11 Allen 12(N) n = novagar championship eligable.
  24. Will be keeping a very close eye on Raga backstage and will report back the truth about him first hand Sunday.
