bikestat Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 roadholders short or long but now very expensive and rare.triumph or bsa four bolt as b25 are popular now and just as good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Good advice however if you ever want to enter the Scottish event then beware 4 bolt are NOT acceptable. As many others have said, and i agree, thats just one trial a year but i didnt want you to spend your money and be dissapointed later on.

wallo Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hello, I got a new set of sliders from http://www.andover-norton.co.uk/ for the Ariel I'm building, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalshell Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 there are a couple of folk now offering 'new' road holders.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I usually get mine from Norvil. They can also do new ones but for trials purposes i find the used ones, he has loads because he rebuilds and upgrades customers bikes, are great for our purposes as we are only going to machine them anyway. Just another source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hello, I got a new set of sliders from http://www.andover-norton.co.uk/ for the Ariel I'm building, I've heard, unofficially, but from someone who rides each year, that the modern mudguard brace as shown on the Ariel may also be unacceptable in Scotland next year and only the traditional stay type will be allowed. If that's true it's going to cause some people a lot of work. So if you're building a bike with the intention of entering then it would be worth checking with them before modifying whatever fork bottoms you use, as it would be a real pain to have to weld back on original stay mounts you've cut off... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie prescott Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hi Guys, Just a side note to the road holder fork convertion And expencive it is! 38 mm marzochii fork stanchions fit nicely into these without convertion ,but we are not able to do this as the forks would then be to cheap to use on Pre 65? Another unnesasary cost to add to the problem of expencive Pre 65 Scottish builds. Regards Charlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 You may want to email the club for confirmation as it seems it is correct that from next year, modern fork/mudguard braces won't be acceptable in Scotland, so bear this in mind when getting your forks done - you may want to keep the original mounts for stays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
