  1. The parts for British bikes seem to be rising quite sharply! Tank!
  2. I managed to get my boots exchanged, with a little help from trading standards They tried to blame me, apparently I had forced dried the boots! (They dried naturally in my garage)
  3. Sounds like the crank seal has gone?
  4. The padding should bed in slightly, you get used to the size after a while I remember when I was in the schoolboy motocross (many years ago) I looked like a lollypop stick!
  5. If commerfords had 1964 models for sale 1965 then they must have sold some??? Can
  6. The only balance this will improve is there bank balance They also increase the size of your willy, and tell you you have won a European lottery! Why are some people so gullible
  7. As previously posted, two 1964 sprites for sale in 1965! What more proof do you need
  8. I’ve read your post, it makes very little sense! You read, then he told you, but didn’t recommend any make of oil? You didn’t even state what the oil was for! ( 2T, 4T, gearbox or suspension) You asked a question you had the answer to, and you also seem to be very angry about the replies This is a forum, its just peoples opinion, that’s what forums are Chill-out
  9. The crank seal has probably gone
  10. Cant understand the reason for your post, if you have the answer why ask? Maybe you should have posted, Gary macDonald Recommends Semi-syn premix? Without a brand, its pretty useless information – there’s a vast difference in manufactures and additives added
  11. who is the rider? Did he tell you, or did you read it? As you say he wasn’t pushing anything on you, but you said you read it
  12. How good was the Suzuki beamish in its day, did they have any major successes? What where they like as a clubman
  13. Totally agree, waste of £130 The vendor has responded, hopefully we can sort the problem out. I think I’m going to go for better quality next time!
  14. Used them once in the dry, and twice in the wet I cleaned them this morning and this is what they look like, and I
  15. I purchased a pair of Hebo trials boots in October, I
  16. Not very good sport for the environment
  17. Rim locks are the size of the rim, not sure what you need but they are normally WM1 front, WM2 Rear Go for the michelin or IRC (Far Better tyres than MT43s) Also Vee rubber are good budget tyres
  18. I'be got a Dave Cooper rack. Its the best £90 I’ve spent, it’s a lot better than a trailer, never had a single problem! I’ve had quite a few problems with trailers over the years!
  19. Yes, but a standard tow bar assembly is designed to withstand the force of an 800kg un-braked trailer and capable of pulling even more (some are secured to the vehicle with only 6 x M10 Bolts!) I would guess the forces applied by this would far exceed that of a trials bike on a frame (granted, not so much twisting force) most tow-balls are not directly mounted behind the 40x40mm box section, so a large shear force iwould be applied I would also like to here what the manufactures of the bike frames say on the matter, as I would think the would be ultimately liable in the event of a failure? The instructions for mine stated Max load as 120kgs
