    Which Gearbox Oil?

    I use this in my 4RT clutch and she's never been better: http://www.trialsuk.co.uk/products/gro-gear-extrem-75w

    Boot Rub

    Most MXshops have a very strong adhesive clear film for that purpose

    It's Official!

    Here's an instruction video on how to climb trees:
  4. Don't worry, the bike doesn't move an inch. If you don't use wheel brackets, and the straps are on the handle bars, the front suspension can compress and as a result the front wheel can slide away sideways. I've got this method of securing the bike from a motorcycle magazine. Just try it one time, so you can feel for yourself how stable it is.
  5. If you put the straps low enough, like in my picture, you don't need any extra racks...

    Lovely Bike!

    Finaly we can see what you where talking about. Nice bike.
  7. "over" pressure (about 40 psi is fine) is better in my opinion. Because then you are sure the tire is properly seated.
  8. By the way, it's not uncommon for older motorcycles to have no brake-lining in aluminium hubs I'm told... But I don't know if thats a good idea for a trials bike, riding a lot in dusty and muddy conditions...
  9. When I used a trailer to transport my Monty, I used the heavy duty chain lock (Abus Granit) from my road motorcycle to secure it to the trailer when I left it out of sight.
  10. This is a very stable mounting method: The rear straps have large hooks that fit nicely over the footpeg mounting brackets. The left front strap goes around the fork on top of the brak caliper.
  11. I only have to do about 10 km's to get to the "practice area", so I don't know how my backside wil be after a longer time in the saddel, but you can always stand up for a while like enduro riders do... As you can see the seat is quite narrow to give enough freedom to move when you stand on the pegs, so don't expect a very comfortable saddel. The engine and frame geometry can cope well with the higher speeds but it doesn't have the longer gear ratio's of a trail bike. You can't expect everyting of course. My road speed is about 50 - 60 km/h because I don't want the engine to suffer to much. Also, riding with almost flat tyres at high speeds isn't very wise i.m.o.
  12. Thanks for the response guy's.
  13. If I could afford one, a KTM Freeride would be very nice... Instead I bought me a Bultaco
  14. On occasion I convert my 4RT for some green laning / trials training

    Lovely Bike!

    No pictures???
  16. Anyone ever used Mitas rear trial tyre? My Sherpa has one fitted when I bought it and I haven't been able to test it yet... It's slightly wider than the Michelin on my modern bike. It rubbed against the chain guard. O well, it'll be good enough to take my first steps on the Bultaco. (first steps! Get it? ...
  17. Not that I have plans in that direction but I think it will be a easyer way to get a good rear brake when the brake hub is on the left side and the brake pedal on the right. As stated in the discription, you will also have a constant performance without the trouble of greasing or cleaning brake- or clutch cables, poor cable routing etc. Hydraulic actuated drum brakes are common in cars and the benefits are undeniable I think. But as O. T. Fanatic says, rules are rules, and for good reasons
  18. .I think steel will do for me. The first reason is that I have no acces to cast iron, I also fear that, because the liner most likely has be very thin otherwise there wont be much left of the hub, the cast iron is to brittle. And the friction rate compared to chrome will be sufficient better. I have a ISO fitting tabel at work, it will be most likely be a shrink fit but someone out there has done this before so they will know which fittng works best My appologies for my poor English, I'm from Belgium so ...
  19. http://xiurdi.com/works/embrague-hidraulico-hebo/ This, when it's properly adapted, could work on drumbrakes also, I think...
  20. I might be able to reline the hubs of my Sherpa at work, but does anyone know what the dimensions of the new steel liner should be? Mainly the outer diameter of course. Thanks in advance
  21. A very nice trial in the beautiful Belgian Ardennes near Coo, Trois-Ponts: http://www.pinkbike.com/u/guyslegers/album/Classic-Trial-Coo-11-5-2013/
  22. The black one looks very nice indeed, but a bit to flashy for me. I don't want to be afraid to use my Sherpa, that's the reason (also budget reasons) why I want plastic fenders although I find alu fenders also very nice and original looking. Thanks for the links Pschrauber, but I'm afraid I can't read french very well :-) By the way: the welds on the frame are a very poor quality. Damn, even I can weld better
