  1. I've bought every chain lube known to man and a few months ago i got fed up with paying £10 a can that lasted me about a month, one day in Tool Station (part of Wicks) i was looking in their catalog and they do a chain lube for £2.80 a can, and its the mutts nutts, foams up good and proper and lasts
  2. I always put the Jitsie larger impeller mod, stops any overheating

    Beta Wheel Bearings

    Neil, pop on ebay and buy stainless bearings instead of normal steel, another quick tip before you fit them pop the cover of with a stanley blade and fill the bearing with marine grease The stainless bearing deal with the heat a lot better and last twice as long, filling them with proper grease stops and liquid corroding them. I've been doing this for ages and bearing last me a long time, average cost is about £12 - £14 per wheel sometime i get them down to £10 per wheel http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BEARINGS-6900-6909-2RS-SS-STAINLESS-FREE-UK-NEXT-DAY-DELIVERY-/190631987889?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=490047900168&hash=item2c628d4ab1
  5. If your still stuck id speak to Rich Allen at Allens used trials spares in Northampton, he'll probably have a second hand one

    Welcome on board buddy
  7. Thanks Guys, looks like i'll be booking it this week :-)
  8. Have you been Jordi? whats it like? Thanks
  9. I'm trying to sort out a trials holiday for a few of us, can anyone recommend anywhere to go, ideally somewhere with accommodation or camping and a good place to ride (plenty of tough stuff) Thanks
  10. Forgot to say the date 21st and 22nd February, were stopping nearby if you fancy a two dayer with beer and curry in the middle
  11. Few of us are going up Wern Ddu this weekend, anyone fancies it feel free to come along and join in on the fun
  12. Ive tried both, Forma are a little lighter and smaller and dare i say more waterproof when you cover them in balm, but the Astars are way better, comfier, better grip and fit better. I'm on my third pair now and at £185 there a little cheaper than the Forma
  13. Great to hear a story like this, Old 315's never die, they just need a little loving every now and then
  14. Hey Fitz, for learning the basics Shilton is spot on, I'm from Hinckley and ride most weekends, when you've mastered the basics give me a shout and i'll show you some other places i ride
  15. Trials and Tribulations have them in stock, or Beta UK in Bradford or second hand go to Richard Allen at Allens used trials spares
  16. Holy ****, this is getting beyond a joke, cps racing in atherstone also gone done over friday evening, some bloke tried to stop them and ended up in hospital
  17. Nice one Hrmad, rang my insurance (express) they said 9k for the year!!!! then rang Bennetts and they wouldnt insure it because its a Beta????? so i then rang Carole Nash, great customer service, all sorted £152 a year for a policy with zero no claims and they even threw in free breakdown cover One happy chappy ;-)
  18. haven't used them in years, thanks i'll bell em in the morning
  19. Hey Guys, finally got my first road legal trials bike, who's the best people to get insured with?? Thanks
  20. Sounds like a blocked pilot jet or maybe your float isnt set right
  21. Lineway, what have you got on the end of your exhaust???
  22. Hey Rich, i've had two 315's and on the first i fitted a Keihin pwk28 which really opens up the power and helps starting especially when you drop the bike but on my last one i fitted the pwk 26 instead, made the power a lot smoother You can also get the copy carb OKO or a few other copy makes, still as good The PWK is standard on the Beta Evo's and also Ktm85sx or most small 2 stroke crossers I'd seriously recommend changing to one In fact i have one knocking around or spec to Rich Allen at Allens used trials spares and he'll sell you a brand new copy pwk for £85 ish
  23. Hey Rich, that's nothing to do with timing, i reckon your pilot jet is blocked
  24. Wouldn't bother fixing that, looks like someone flipped the bike quite hard at some time in its life Speak to Rich Allen at Allens used trials spares, He'll have one
  25. Any pics fella, theres a lot of red monty's out there
