October 22, 200718 yr I noticed to my horror that my new boots had developed a nice hole where the chain has been rubbing on them when i am grasping the bike with my legs/feet. Tape only lasts 2 minutes then it wears through...... It has also happened on a much smaller scale on the other boot. Possibily from where the bolt heads are situated. Has anybody else had this....if so how did you stop it from happening again?
October 22, 200718 yr You don't say which years Sherco you are riding. The 2007 model has a guard on. For earlier models you can get a bootsave from trials central sponsors TRIALSCAST
October 22, 200718 yr Author Er i think i may know why... It seems from the picture of an 07 bike i have just seen that i may be missing some sort of chain stay plastic bit????? Was this a standard part on an 06? Or is this an addition? Edit: Sorry I am ridding an 06 caby Edited October 22, 200718 yr by Beta Bodger

October 23, 200718 yr You would do even better to stop hugging the swingarm and get your feet out a bit on the pegs!!!! Seriously

October 24, 200718 yr You would do even better to stop hugging the swingarm and get your feet out a bit on the pegs!!!! Seriously Yup...doing this made me a better rider too! whats the theory behind this then? One theory is that the rider is always upright and the bike leans. By putting your feet to the outside of the pegs you are able to separate yourself from the bike and allow it to move freely. At least that's what I think I was told.
October 24, 200718 yr We hosted Ryan Young just this weekend ( ) and foot position is one THE basics . Turn initiation is thru the pegs where you use leverage to advantage . Balancing the scales was a phrase that's next to impossible to do if you're locked in . Every Clubman should have his training video ......
October 24, 200718 yr Author I recon 29r is related to Ryan Young or....is it him! Which video anyway?
October 24, 200718 yr Not to sure why'd your want a video on it,next time your out just try ridding with your feet further out on the peg's. It does sound like your not to relaxed when your ridding.
