iridebikes Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Did Talon not make one? correct these are used only on speedway bikes, but not hard to put on a trials bike would only need a large rear disk and you would be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie_lejeune Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 not a large rear disc- smaller sprocket mounting pcd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldilocks Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Its already been done in late eighties by talon for trials bikes. You are literally re inventing a wheel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro sport Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Very exciting , what will dougie ride this year though whilst he's developing the new bike ? Will he ride as a privateer and choose whichever he likes ? Dougie will be riding the bike he is developing - how else can you get a bike your developing in perfect balance to all conditions unless you put it through a Scott or SSDT. ( could it be the 2nd coming of the Greeves? It was almost there a year ago! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I can turn a back tyre way quicker than removing 12 or so bolts, more times bolts are removed the greater the chance they will be damaged or come loose. Things I would like on a trials bike are quick easy access to air filter, fuel gauge, and the main one for me is a re packable middle box and silencer, you wouldn't believe how many middle box's the factories use on the works bikes, so crucial to performance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neils on wheels Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Vertigo typically arises from a problem of the inner ear balance mechanism. As a result patients commonly suffer loss of balance & in extreme cases, difficultly walking. I'm not sure that naming a trials bike after a balance problem is that smart. Then again, another symptom of vertigo is a false sense of spinning or motion; so perhaps its the perfect name to fool those poor no-stop observers! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgas Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 If he's planning on riding it in the Scottish then surely it must be at the prototype stage already and not just a blank sheet of paper? And I agree vertigo is a terrible name sounds too gimmicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgas249uk Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I wish Vertigo every success for the future. The top man in the project knows business and has a very successful firm already . These guys are crazy about trials . I just hope their enthusiasm is matched by the markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgas Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Any idea when. The mystery man will be revealed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldilocks Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I love this " the businessman " idea. You would think nobody had ever failed in business before. I sincerely wish them well but the product is going to need to be very good and cheaper than the rest to start taking market share. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldilocks Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 FIM rules from 1st Jan 2015 all machines will have more than one rear suspension unit and no effective brakes are permitted. I have been working as a development rider on a bike re badged as an swm since October...... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tltel Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I cant see the point in another brand, there not that many buyers of new trials bikes out there, they will soon be able to have a brand each! I have had Vertigo though and it is very unpleasant!! TLTEL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
