June 3, 200818 yr Hi I've just bought a 1975 Montesa 172 for renovation. Any advice on the best (cheapest) place for spares (gaskets / seals / bearings etc etc) cheers John
June 4, 200818 yr (USA) http://www.southwestmontesa.com/ (UK) http://www.inmotiontrials.com/ Ball bearings can usually be sourced from local bearing suppliers. You will find that most of the bearings are off-the-shelf.
June 4, 200818 yr Author Much Appreciated ! In Motion in the UK seeme to have everything I'll ever need ! thanks again John.
June 6, 200818 yr If you find the correct size fork seals, let me know. I have been looking for some. 31.5x45x7.1
June 6, 200818 yr Try this website for some info http://www.todotrial.com/ttclasico/indexttclasico-total.htm click on the indexes on the left for some more info
June 6, 200818 yr I had one of these a few years ago.The kickstart shaft had snapped and I got it cheap. I then realised why it was cheap,I could not find one anywhere and it is a common problem I am told. It was a nice little bike,very light.
June 10, 200818 yr They're called 172s but are really 156cc. Did you get rid of it Davieboy? I've got a few kick shafts left, but they're not real cheap...
June 12, 200818 yr They're called 172s but are really 156cc.Did you get rid of it Davieboy? I've got a few kick shafts left, but they're not real cheap... No,sold it many years ago. I'm a confirmed Bultaco fan now.
June 13, 200818 yr Author Thanks for all the replies - lots of useful info ! I think there has been a problem at some point with the kickstart shaft, as its been milled square, and a square section bottom welded to the Montesa kickstart. Sounds like a bit of a bodge job, but it's been very well done ! Am I right in presuming everything is the same as the 123, except the fact it's got a larger barrell and piston to 156cc? Looking forward to getting it sorted..... Edited June 13, 200818 yr by John B
