It was my first Scottish and a week later still amazed how well organized it was
The sections where i thought very tricky but enjoyable
Thanks again for a great weekend

Thanks Dave i am at the moment using a SWM steel tank the shap and fit are quite good
Just that empty its 5kilos!!!!
Someone decided to take the dents out with solder rather that a modern lightweight filler
Marty
Has anyone tried the tank from D and c Motorcycles?
It is a fiberglass tank
Im Looking for a low narrow ish one

Thanks Marty D
Can anyone tell me what lenght they are using on the 240??
Took them off and placed them carefully in a pile more shock and i diny know which is which
Thanks Marty D
Have been running one of the newer Michelin tube type tyres
I think they are crossply construction
Been out three times and 2 Nip punctures so not a good ratio
Running 6 psi and its on a B40
I also have the same tyre on a Tlr 250 and it seems ok
Could it be a combination of heavy(ish)bike and softer sidewalls?
Anyone else have the same probs?
Marty D
thanks for the fast replies it was that i have 2 b40s one is running a 626 (26mm) and the other a 928 (28mm)
i new there was a size difference but was unsure of the difference between the 600 and 900 series carbs
What size does everyone else use on b40 trials??
Marty D
Thanks for that info BUT Had a better look today and dont think it can be done
when you get the brake pedal in the right position the kickstart fouls it
I think ive tied a lot of different pedal shapes but no good
Any ideas or pics?Marty D?
Does anyone have any suggestions how to move the brake padal to the( proper) Right hand side of my B40
Have tried now for 3 months and just cant get onto it in the left
What lever /cable set up do you think??
Jackson frame and cub hubs
Marty D
I ran the Mitas on a 250 tlr thought it was hard but griped Real well in all conditions but as said dont think it would be the job for a new bike
But in saying that i am running a pair of Michelins on both Tlr and B40
Marty D
I have used the Mitas here in both mud and rocks on a Tlr 250
Great tyre in the mud as the profile is rounded ,meanig that you have still a good tread while leaning the bike over
Found it also good on rock as you were getting good grip on the mud before
Great wear rate
Marty D
Thanks Charlie
What do you mean elongate the pivot did you file a larger "Hole" in the shoes??
I think that i am getting closer to a alloy hub
Is it Alan witton that does these?
Alsois there a alloy brake plate aswell?
Marty D
Got the hubs back into the bike to night after getting them back from the machine shop
And what do you know,even with .75mm clearence still SPONGY!!
Anyone tried very small discs inside the hubs?????
i hope that when bedded in for longer they improve
Marty D
P.S what oil do i use in the B40 and what quantity?
Will hope to ahve the hub back from the machine shop by the weekend
think that all the adviceso far is great
A lot of different ideas to give the right end result
The frint hub was 140mm I/D and the rear 142mm
Obviously the rear badly worn
As im (new) to this mad world of Classic \Trials im not sure on a lot of things ( Have a 4rt as well)
What else does Tricky Micky do??
Marty D
I think that by spacing the cams/pivots out the diameter is possibly wrong??
Have taken the hubs to a engineering shop and hes going to sleve the hub to 138mm id
think that if this is done the brake shoes will be (Off the shelf) fit
The easest way was just to find a set of 140mm O/D shoes but i cant find them
Thanks for all your help
Marty D
Not sure if the right place but,
the Steve Colley TXT Gassers can anyone remember when they where made
would really like one and I know going to be hard to find one
Does anyone know of any for sale?
Marty D
Std brake shoes are 138mm o/d x 25 width
Does anyone do a set of 140mmo/d x 25 mm shoes
The i/d of the hub is slightly below 140mm(139.8)
The brake is very vague and spongy so i thought a larger dia set would be better
Any advice??
Marty D
Will have to do a plug test i advanced the timing that helped with the punch
What type of yokes is best ?
And how much am i likly to exchange for a billet set
Are they worth it?
Is the billet clutch that burtons sells(200 odd) worth the weight saving and does it let the engine rev quicker
thanks again Marty D
