October 25, 201312 yr Wow ... A debate over a non - issue ... Gearing is all a matter of personal preference ! Glenn
October 25, 201312 yr Author 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.
October 25, 201312 yr 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 BillyT

October 26, 201312 yr Just an uninformed question here, but how will a trials bike act with 12/52t and is that even possible on a trials?

October 26, 201312 yr Now what we really need is a Christini all wheel drive conversion on my Beta!! Would that be allowed???
October 26, 201312 yr 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!
