I’ve got parallel on my bantam. As totalshell states, you would be hard pushed to tell the difference
-
Do you have a link to this page, can't seem to find it?
Thanks
-
If its in good condition thats a good price
Seriously though I do use 50:1 with mine and it runs a treat (without any smoke or fouling)
-
Best to do a search on the forum, its a can of worms that one!
I use 50:1 and I wouldn't go any leaner that!
But the less oil you use the more manly you become, some riders don’t even use oil, just a splash of Old Spice in the tank!?!?!
-
I had exactly the same problem with some Suzuki beamish forks, they are also just under 35mm
I now use some steel shim, it works a treat (it’s a pain fitting it in though!)
If the forks are under 35mm and you have them re-chromed to 35mm you would also need to modifiy the bushes in the legs as they wouldn’t fit!
-
Same here, never had a problem. even with heavy classic MX bikes
-
To be fair most people use later parts more for cost than the advantage gain.
Don’t be put off by all the moaning, it’s a very welcoming sport and most trials are easier now than they were back in the day.
-
That’s progress for you, even pre65 bike are evolving!
Its nice to look back with rose coloured glasses, but lets face it, they were cr@p forks!
How far do you take the pre65 rules, Shocks, tyres, levers, handlebars ect……
I know one rider who is using modern titanium fiddle hips fitted in his old legs!
-
That’s very true, but I 've welded some flat bars to mine & the kids use them as pogo sticks
-
strange as we used a nice little oven that printed out graphs (e.g 450c then 24hours at 120c) It was also very handy for cooking pukka pies!
Al-Cu hard to machine with HSS! (we mainly use HSS on our VMC)
2 days to go hard, did you buy your metal straight from the mills?
We buy from aalco & various other suppliers and they hold stock for months!
I think you are spending too much time on google!
-
who sells the CSP sump guards?
-
let's hope it makes the 100,000
-
I’ve said this before but, every rider should observe (or help) a certain number of trials to obtain a licence
I observed the same amount that I entered last year!
-
-
Duralumin is no longer available as its now 2000 Series al-cu alloys (and they corrode quickly un-treated)
7075 needs to be heated to 450c and then age hardened at 120c for 24h+ or it will stay soft
But if he buys one stated as T6 then its already been done, so no point worrying
-
What forks, that’s a can of worms
I currently have a set of beamish forks & billet yokes fitted to my bantam
and NJB expert rear shocks (good shocks for the money)
-
It’s possible to fit any forks to any bike, but you would need some engineering equipment (and the skill to use it)!
Strange forks to fit on a beeza?
-
Is the original weak?
The one on ebay looks well made
-
The trick I would like to master is: winning a trial
(Or at least complete a full trial without falling off!)
-
-
Reading some of the above posts, a riot helmet might be worth adding to the list
-
If you do start a business, you would have to do an Investment appraisal on purchasing keyboards with all that typing!
-
The Back Box!?!?!?!?---->
-
Very much for the off-road rider, I find it easy to leave skid marks with my Suzuki as well
-
80:1 on a iron barrel air cooled bike......
Id say more like 40:1 or richer!
