  1. Are they true ally though? I reckon just a guess mind but would guess the magnesium content will be high! My guess would be that they are Alli, mag tends to be used for casing etc, I think Ali is better suited to the job (though its been many many years since i did anything to do with material science) But take the wheel along to a welder, he could probably tell easily & there is nothing to lose
  2. Why don't you go and find somebody who can Ali weld, you have nothing to lose and it may be repairable?
  3. presumably the fishes were Dabs .......
  4. I asked the same question myself, see here: http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/index....amp;hl=ignition can't comment about 3mm but 6 seems to work fine on my 2001, softer power and easier to start Hope this helps .... Mike
  5. I would second Scott T's comments abouts Birkett's, They did a rebore on my Beta earlier in the year, very helpful & good work fom their workshop.

    Rear Brake

    Mark Having cleaned everything up, check the adjustment (length) of the rod between the end of the pedal and the master cylinder, I had a similar problem on the sherco where the travel of the pedal was so much that the piston in the master reached the end of its travel before the brake was fully on. I lengthened the push-rod and it fixed the problem. I also realise that on a hydraulic system you shouldn't have to do this but as I say it fixed the problem for me. Mike
  7. Try these: Link to Will Browns site with links on to some clubs near you - http://www.willbrown.co.uk/www/ Or Worthing - http://www.worthingtrialsclub.com/_sgg/f10000.htm Or Bognor - http://www.brdmcc.org/ Hope this helps ....
  8. Could you be a bit more specific on which part of the South you are in ? there are loads of Clubs arround so you shouldn't have a problem.
  9. Does anybody know if you can use a sherco 290 front wheel in a Beta rev 3 ? Thanks
  10. Why not give framed certificates with the offer of a trophy if the rider asks for one. That way you have something to present if required and you can bin the certificate and reuse the frame if the recipient doesn't turn up or want it.
  11. Assuming Profit is a % of sale price I wouldn't be to surprised to see the manufacturers "retire" the 2 strokes from their ranges over the next few years ...
  12. I think you have had your question answered, but I put the front wheel across the back of the passenger seat (and folded rear seat) and the rest of the bike diagonally across the back. The rear wheel goes in behind the door frame with a bit of a shove. If I took the rear seats out it would go in easy.
  13. I can get a Sherco 290 into the back of my Wife's Belingo Multispace so pretty sure you could get a bike into the van

    Engines

    Been looking at this German e-bay Seller for a while and wondered if the engine would fit a modern frame .... Lifan 200 Engine May be the answer to your question ...
  15. I agree with Scotty having gone the 290 route. Unless you have exceptional clutch/throttle control the big stuff is a hindrance, even if you are a lard ar$e a 200 or 250 is pleanty. As for transport whatever gets you and the bike to the trial works for me. Recommend you get yourself to a few trials, talk to people & you may even get a ride on a bike or two. See a few links to local clubs I know of below. Bognor Horsham Worthing
  16. Wouldn't want to see the full hour taken up like that every week, but have to admit to laughing at last nights program. Can't believe there seems to be the beginnings of a bring back William Woolard campaign going on here
  17. The Octagon report make more sense when you run it through the right translation tool Gizzogle
  18. Look forward to the first article and thanks to whoever is doing the sponsoring, this can only make an already great site better
  19. Took my 290 sherco to a trial only today in the back of my wifes Berlingo Multispace, didn't even take the seats out. Bit of a squeze getting it in but it fits. Take the seats out & it would be easy. Great little car, electrics a bit iffy at times but it dont stop running ...
  20. I Bet he has a wide circle of friends
  21. Try Bultaco UK, His site doesn't show he has complete seats (just checked) but they may do them, prices tend to be cheaper and he is way more helpful the Millers. Bultaco UK
  22. Found this in an e-bay shop-thought it may be of interest/use to you KT fans New Cylinder on E-bay
  23. I Rode an SY125 for a day at a trials school, for a beginner (even a fat one) its a top bike. I didn't even find the cable clutch much of a problem as the bike lends itself to being ridden on the throttle (IMHO). Thought about buying one for a while and did a little resaerch, best price I saw was
  24. Thanks Baldilocks, the liner is indeed steel. For others info, I phoned Lampkins who confirmed that the earlier 200's are steel lined. Also told me that beta only do 1 oversize that I am pretty mine is already on. They did however put me onto Birketts who have found a piston that will take the bore out further, so mine is off to them in the post tomorrow. Anyhow will add a post when I get it back, the info may be useful to other 200 owners.
