    If you spend a significant amount of time testing the top speed of your trials bike maybe you should buy an enduro bike. I usually drop one on the countershaft to make second my main section gear. The

Ok....let me admit defeat on this one.....I didnt mean to get anybodys hackles up.

My dad admitted that the bike was too much for him and did what he knows to tame the specific problem that he was having and it worked for him. I have now been training on the bike every day and see the advantages of a fast throttle and smaller front sprocket, that is why I have refitted them. I am getting to a level where instant power/acceleration is needed and a advantage, it wasnt at my dads level.

Anyway, I was not trying to tell advanced riders how to set their bikes up as they are far more experienced in trials than me, I was merely trying to state that the advice that was initially given did not help my dads "specific" issue but made it worse for him.

Yes my title was abrupt, a kak day at work affected my wording.....I apologise. If this is going to harm anyones learning curve.....please can the mods remove it.

No problem, No Foul, No issue. Welcome back......... LOL

Nows lets argue about something that we don't agree about maybe "which brand of bike is best".

Cheers

Just an uninformed question here, but how will a trials bike act with 12/52t and is that even possible on a trials?

Neither side is proper for the kickstarter. just need a button on the handlebars and vrooom.....

hey zippy, that would be great for my bad knees.............. then i would need one of those anti stall clutches and i'm set

Now what we really need is a Christini all wheel drive conversion on my Beta!!

Would that be allowed???

Why would you need one? It is well known that all trials riders are like Bou, Raga, Fuji, Cabby etc... and able to ride on just the rear wheel!
