Noob Looking For Used Bike Advice
Coming from Bicycle Trials You will suit the Gas Gas PRO better than Most of the other bikes on the market. As for the engine that depends! the 200(actually 160cc) suits a lot of people as the bike allows you to do most sections without overpowering them, but the 250 is also a very good bike, just steady on the throttle. If you fancy a different bike then try it! Better still try them all! One could surprise you.

Alpine Stars
You and Nigella love it then!! NYL has had Forma's, Sidi's Novogar's and he's currently on some Hebo Tech TR-2's . The Forma's were very stiff boots and held together but maybe were not the most comfortable. The Sidi's were the Silver boots and wore very well. He still uses the Novogars for practice and despite some wear around the ankle area have worn pretty well. The Hebo's have a Waterproof "sock" inside and are in Nubuck. He's only had them a month and is treating them with kid gloves but they seem to be very very good.

What Make Of Rear Tyre Do You Use?
NYL likes the IRC and round here we get rocks. We do know somebody who had trouble with Vee Rubber's, He couldn't get it to stay on the rim.

Play Station 2

Beta Rev 4t..wow!
Seen it twice this week. In James Lampkin's hands at Howden Wood and Ben Hemingway's at Dob Park. Looks like any 2007 Rev. Has a muted "bark" but nothing like the 4RT. In All seem's Sorted "out of the Box" as a club/National bike whereas the Sherco and Scorpa are a "work-in-progress". Having said that there does only seem to be one of them about at the moment.

Sheffield
Looked more like a footrest failure. Jim Lampkin had to delve under the ramps to find it after kicking the Montesa in disgust!!

What 2 Stroke Oil Do You Use
We use Castrol XR77. High end oil and price but we never have any problems. Used it in The REV50, Sherco 125 and the current GAS GAS 125 and we just do not need to do much with the engines.

Trials Importer On Tv Shock!
So there I am, I have the weeks to Christmas off, (been working weekends), and am determined not to miss the third attempt at delivering my new Hi-Fi stand I have been waiting a month for. So no loo, no shower, nothing. I am watching the BBC's "Homes under the Hammer" while I am waiting. Now last week somebody bought a Building in Knaresborough and My Brother appears in it as He's doing the rebuild of the upper two storeys into flats. This morning there's a house in Pateley Bridge and I'm thinking who's that bidding. I rewind the PVR and look again! It's only a major Trials Importer who promptly disappears off the scene as He's bidding on behalf of another!! Next week Andy buying the Highlands????

Dab Not A Good Christmas Present
It WILL be worthwhile when the new Chips and Transmission method start. Even more stations at quality around that of FM.

Dab Not A Good Christmas Present
Just a quick warning about DAB. OFCOM who oversee DAB are in the process of changing the Way that the signal is compressed, or to those more technically minded MP2 is being dropped and replaced by the new AAC+ codec. The reasons are two-fold, the current codec mp2 is part of the original MPEG-1 specification and the audio quality is basically rubbish. Secondly nobody in Europe is prepared to continue DAB in it's current form because of reason one. The French and Irish out the fatal blow in by refusing to use the current DAB system while having a sly dig at OFCOM's persistence in promoting the current system. Basically using MP2 the minimum broadcast transmission rate to achieve good quality sound is 192kbps. Because more stations are being licensed in order to get them in, rates have been dropping on music stations to 128kbps and on speech to as low as 64kpbs. Hence FM still sounds superior. Using AAC+ 64kpbs achieves the same (or better) result as 192kbps due to the music compression algorithm being much more efficient. The rub is that becuase the MP2 signal will be switched off in the nearish future(2012 is been mooted), most DAB radios will have to be upgraded to the new algorithm or scrapped. So if you do buy one make sure it has a USB input for upgrade. Or wait until Spring when New chips will be installed in DAB radios.

Best Budget Bike
Of the Aprilia or 314R I've seen both on local trials and the Climber if it's in good nick might be the better bet. Most still seem able to get thru a club section quite nicely where a 314 seems like a heavy beast.

Thurlstone Quary Barnsley Club
And I was the guy on the brand new 07 Beta covered in bodge tape that you offered a re-ride to after a guy got in the way just before the top step. Most riders are a bit shy about asking for a re-run but I always offer if I feel you been impeded or even just put off. If I remember the first would have been a three and the re-ride netted a one which I feel justified the decision and gave you a fairer result. As for the queues, section 6 had a few people waiting but it was a longish section. I also saw a few waiting at 10. Neither were ridiculous tho and NYL was as usual chatting away to keep himself occupied.

Thurlstone Quary Barnsley Club
They are usually up within a couple of days. It looks a good venue although like all quarries you have to know where the edge is!!! As promised NYL was there, (and I was Section 5 observer), despite him being under the weather due to a bout of tonsilitis. Try keeping any young rider away!!!
-
Candywheels Anyone!
If you are having problems try somebody local! There are a lot of these people about and maybe you local dealer knows them! That way you have a third party working on your behalf. I do know James Dabill had a Local dealer get his wheels done on the Beta so some of them should have this info.

Advice on Bikes And Clubs Please
I'd watch out for Scarborough, Hull and Eboracum Trials on the North side of the Humber, S****horpe and North Lincolnshire south of the Humber. The swear filter likes to cut in on "Scunny" but you know where I mean. Scarborough have their own Venue at Low North Park near Harwood Dale. They can supply keys and passes for a fee to members which allows you to use the venue when it is not in use for Trials and Moto-X. Haven held a "open day" last weekend at a quarry just off the southern end of the Humber Bridge which I believe is available for practice. Might be worth popping in to Haven to discover if you can use it.

Gasser Upgrades/tit Bits/cool Stuff!
No providing you are 17 you can ride "Out of class" on a lower course on bikes over 125cc. You just cannot revert back once you have done it.

Richmond Motor Club
Is it the same venue as the A/B National,? we were looking forward to it! Still if it is the same place I can understand why it's being called off. Looks like We'll be at Scarborough this Sunday then!!

Computer Hijacking
If I could get on the Computer more Often We are on Firefox(haven't you noticed NYL's spelling's improved), As for Hosts, I've decided that fixing the DNS servers on the router and changing it's password should be more effective. Don't forget that Hosts is a file that can be "got at".

Computer Hijacking
Yep that's the site that gave me the clue's. Of course what have you been downloading???
