dusty23 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Evening all . Having recently got back into the world of trials , I realise that I need to think about carrying spares . Not necesarliy on me in person , but as a back up . For example , whilst trying to be clever and cut through a stream I caught my clutch hose right next to the clutch and split it . This led me to trying to play for half an hour with no clutch . Which was fun , sort of ! Any way , my point is , do you keep a few spares ie clutch hoses , break hoses , inner tubes , clutch levers etc . My real train of thought is that it may only take 48 hours to get replacements sent out but it can kill a weekend of playing . Or should I not be such a clumsy T##T Cheers all Dusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 On a pro model, I carry a throttle assembly, clutch lever, brake lever and a shift lever. All things easily replaced in less thn a few minutes. I do have quite a few parts at home. Really any large inventory leads to a dealership. At that point trials is not near as fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob214 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 how often do you break parts? i have one spare lever and one spare spark plug i keep in the truck. other than that no inventory. i have heard about the GG parts like the shift lever and some internals but not sure what those guys do. at most events there are dealers around so getting a spare should i fall and break one shouldn't be an issue.(hopefully) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the addict Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Levers - complete throttle assembly - rear brake - gear lever - chain tensioner and spark plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrmad Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Spark plug and plug spanner, a few allen keys, spare links for the chain and connecting link. A little bum bag is useful just in case. Edited January 25, 2015 by hrmad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusty23 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Thanks guys , pritty much summed up my thoughts . I dont generaly break anything , in 4 months I have snapped my clutch lever once and the clutch hose . I know it is trivial and I dont want to end up with van loaded with spares . I think I will go with a spare set of levers , hydraulic hoses , chain and few others as standby kit for home or in the van . I do always ride with , even when playing is a small rucksack that contains a few basic tools and small tyre pump to help me out of the proverbial Once again , thanks for your help and the input in to how I tackle the spares issue . Cheers Dusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I`ve ridden since `72 and only have needed one hydraulic hose. And since hydraulics have come along, I can only remember replacing about 10 for other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
