also remove the rear fender mountin bolt on each side and put zip-ties thru the holes that way if it does flip then the ties snap, giving it a bit more flex, rather than the fender cracking at the bolt mount holes
i've just done my first 2 trials for 20 yrs on a'98 315.
talking to a couple of the experts at the first trial they all said i couldn't have got a better bike, easy to ride and bullet proof engine and gearbox.
paid
trials bikes have always been banned in the main tough one race as far as i know.
it is after all an extreme enduro.
brown only road last year as an extra reward for winning the extreme trials race.
and whilst there was alot of uproar when he was pulled from the race if i recall it said from the word go that the extreme trial winner would only ride the first hour of the main race.
just picked up a '98 315 montesa and am after a bit of advice for setting the suspension up for a lardy. 19St (266 lbs)
My enduro bike is set up fine as i've had yrs of experience but i haven't had a trials bike for 20yrs.
i've reset the suspension to the factory settings to have a starting point.
and will soon be changing the fork oil. again ill start off with the factory recommendation so i have a baseline.
What i want to get set right is the sag, done a search and it didnt help much.
i think i need to be aiming for about 3" of sag on the rear and 2" on the forks with me on the bike in my riding gear. does that sound about right?
does anyone have any idea where i can find out what rate springs i'll need? will be ringing around a few dealers after the holidays.
after 20 yrs finally got another trials bike.
are there any cross over parts between the 2 bikes?
things like case guards, levers, airfilters, sprockets etc.
