Has any one an idea what the red part (probably in the clutch hose) in the blue circle can be ?

Yes it is a Staubli quick release coupling which is exactly the same as we use on the WRC cars on the clutches. More than likely HRC are pre-bleeding a spare master cylinder to aid the speed of replacement if he brakes the cylinder when competing. Therefore I would expect spare units would be available pre-bled ready just to swap over. The Staubli's are zero fluid loss therefore no bleeding required !!

Thats a belting idea but how much are they ?

WRC? Take a wild guess and add a naught.

I notice he hasn't got a carbon fibre front fender bracket. What the hell are Montesa playing at?

I also see he has his name on the tank, so he knows its his???

The cost is around

Thanks

I found this info staubli

Please note guys - if you do go for this mod make sure you buy the couplings with EPDM seals as the Viton seals do not like brake fluid and will eventually leak !! Generally Stuabli colour co-ordinate with EPDM couplings anodised red and viton yellow.

At 175 quid, i don't suppose too many will have to consider this conundrum

I don't know, CK is bound to get one.

You'd be surprised, they all look the same, loads of back up bikes all leant against trees next to each other, all looking similar.

I've even seen people ride sections on other people's bikes at local trials I've been to, funny as!

Simtech , WRC , is that our man from Eastbourne ?

I don't know, CK is bound to get one.

Best to get 2 just in case the first one fails and obviously the titanium ones.

surely you'd need two anyway one for the cylinder on the bike and one for the spare that you put on.

all in
