charliechitlins Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 also fitting a pair of their over size cams is worth it then you are not messing with the chain as i was when i run out of adjustment.make scottland as easy as you can. This may be out of context, but... I'm confused by the idea of oversized cams. I can see it in the context of something like the SSDT, where the main concern is finishing...but not for general use. If you think you need oversize cams, you probably need a new chain. As the links get further apart from wear, they also machine down (ruin) your sprockets to fit. Now, if one checks the chain at 3 o'clock on the rear sprocket, it still has some life left in it, and there is no adjustment left, then it's time for bigger cams...but I've never seen a wheel run out of adjustment befor the chain is finished.

jtt Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 Of course, Charlie your right. What the oversized cam do help is to allow you to change gearing easily and quickly. People just don't seem to get the chain stretch/wear thing sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridgrunr Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Hey Guys, I'm on the other side of the pond, but thought someone might be interested in the header pipe heat shield I use on my bikes. Actually we use them on 3 GasGases, 3 Shercos, and a Montesa. They aren't really high tech, but they look pertty good, and keep you from burning your pants or your legs, and you can get them to fit just about any bike. The worst burn I ever saw was at a National on a gal riding a GG in shorts. Bike fell over on her and burned her clear through to the muscle. UGLY! Simply take a piece of paper and make an outline of the curve of your bikes exhaust, or take the exhaust off and take it down to your local autoparts store and buy a radiator hose that has the same bend and similar diameter. Then cut it to length and split it up the backside and slide it over the pipe. Secure with a couple of industrial zip ties or a couple loops of stainless safety wire. You can see the one I have on my GAS GAS in the link below. http://utahtrials.org/salepics/321r.jpg Looks pretty neat, and has been there since the bike was new in 99. It doesn't melt, even on long trail rides liked the Five Miles Of Hell here in Utah. It gets warm, but you can touch it and it won't sear your pants or your legs. It also provides some protection in a fall. I have a few scrapes on mine where it's contacted with the Utah Granite that would have scarred an unprotected pipe. In the states we can get a radiator hose for about $8.00. Just thought I pass it on incase anyone was interested. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripper Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Hey ridgrunr, over hear in europe we aint tight arses, we fit good quality products to our trials bikes. These aint Harley Davidsons !!!!! Whats with the rubber gaiters on your fork legs and how long have you been into rubber? If you put any more rubber on your bike you will be able to bounce back up when you come off ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

physco Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 HI, one thing i forgot to add about these oversize cams is that you can also make your bike wheelbase a little longer.if you look closley at adam raga,s works gas gas, he also has some home made oversize cam adjusters fitted,i spotted these at sheffield on saturday.apparentley it helps with balance and makes the bike more stable.

gripper Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Seem to remember in the old days we use to run the rear wheel as far back as possible. Their was a definate advantage on the slippy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
