guys

Another great video by Sergio: http://www.photobysergio.fr/team-montesa.html

Nope. (one finger between the tensioner and the swing-arm)

I don't know. because they're crap? The first one only lasted 3 months, wore down to the metal tubes and the "bridge" (the upper part) broke off. Yesterday i mounted the second one, and after 2 hours of training it breakes in the middle, between the two bolts.

Hmmm, might be a good idea. Lots of different kinds of plastics at work available... Thanks

Hi everybody I've had two chain tensioners (brand: Ariete) that broke in to pieces in a very short time although the discription says the following: 'A replacement trials chain tensioner spare pad made from the much more durable silicon rubber More expensive than the standard rubber item, but will pay back with much longer life' So here's my question: What brand do you guys use, are the S3 any good?

Jep, mine says VTDMT04A08... and is a 2008 model

I would go for this one if it was my bike ;-) http://www.splatshop.co.uk/xblok-billet-racing-caliper.html

He make's it look so easy.

Got me a Airoh helmet, a carbon exhaust protector (to prevent my trousers from melting) and titanium front exhaust pipe. GoPro hero3 is on my wishlist

They look very nice indeed. When I need new trousers I'll know where to look too

Name and shame doesn't get you your barrel back. I would put my energy in triyng to resolve the problem. You will feel better afterwards.

Sammy Miller should have them: http://www.smproducts.co.uk/about-us/product-info/16-trial-clothing Here also: http://www.d3racing.co.uk/online-shop/browse/1329-trials-clothing?sef=hc And this is how they look like in action: http://www.photobysergio.fr/maxime-rudolphe.html

Me too!

Got me a pair and they're very nice except the exhaust burnt a hole in them on the very first ride, damned. They've got a leather patch on them now

I find that the link plates make the rear more lively, got more spring to it i.m.o. (I weigh about 90kg) (excuse me for my bad English )

Of course, I completely missed the part where you took the rear wheel out. Shame on me! tItel and neilh are probebly right.

I don't think you wil feel much difference with only 2 turns. If adjusting the spanner nut is not enough, you can fit a linkage plate upgrade kit: http://www.handdracing.co.uk/userimages/procart2.htm I've refilled the nitrogen on my 315R (same system) but it was not nessecary. It had not lost any pressure, witch is logical as nitrogen is thicker than air. Be very carefull when you try to check the nitrogen pressure. It's only a small volume so try to prevent any leak when measuring.

The best thing I bought for my 4RT (more stable and not so protrubing as the original. http://www.jbanyeres.com/en/chasis/2260-caballete-aluminio-rtl-2t-4t-ligero.html And a NGK CR5EH-9 sparkplug in temperatures below 10°C for better starting

Hey, just answering his question.

None of the 3 threaded holes have a metal insert on my Cota. Only the 2 holes near the axle are there for the chaintensioner. (I don't think the original small snailcam-chaintensioner reaches to the 3rd hole) So yes, you can use the hole closest to the axle. The 3rd hole, the farthest away from the axle, is there for mounting the plastic rear axle protector that is mostly only found on new bikes) It might be possible that the larger after-market chaintensioners diameter is large enough to use the 3rd hole, and i see no problem with that.

The trial shop where i buy my parts says, that when he takes over a Gas Gas from sombody who buys another bike at his shop, there is a great chance the Gas Gas has cracks in the frame... (btw, my Cota 315R cracked near the rear shock mount and my Cota 4RT had a crack near the upper engine mount when I bought it)
