Hi, Im trying to get some springs for the shock and the forks on a 2003 Gas Gas 280 pro. Ideally i would like to get stiffer springs as i am 13 stone before kit. I got told by a gas gas dealer to go through K tech suspension. But i emailed them and they said they don't do trials suspension. Any help would be awesome

The Scott????

Sounds like a plan!

All you're doing is replicating a lap or two of between section going in a "proper" trial. Just ride the thing as it is and you'll be OK. Yes i am doing that but i will be jumping the bike lots, doubles, step ups and drop offs. Not very big but will be using it for that.

Oh, yer your correct about the heat. ill shake the container aswell!!

ill get on that tomorrow! ill keep you posted. The only other thing, would the shaking of the fuel in the back pack cause pressure to build up?? cos it would blow those plastic containers

Beta make a tank seat for their bikes but its something like $500!! I like the number plate aux tank but to be honest i wouldnt want to attach the fuel lines ect in case of a crash and would rather stick the container in my back pack. Do anyone know if an old plastic gear or pre mix oil container would melt with petrol in it??

Nope. looks like ill be sticking with some fuel canisters

Thank you i will. I am currently in the process of road registering the bike and making a removable seat. But i will document my progress. Yer i think i will have to treat it like riding a mountain bike and use myself as alot of the suspension and get used to really moving around on the bike. I have ridden down hill mountain biking in the past but have gotten lazy over the last few years from jumping a motocross bike where the suspension does all the work for you.

Yer, i found this company in america www.adventuremoto.com.au/index.php?cPath=27_54&osCsid=6ba516742c6b18d4daf3a87e9e2a5c75 but cant find anything in england

Dude, thank you. I am atually going to print it and do what you said. Most helpful advice yet!!!

True!! Maby wrap a town round them in the bag, bit of padding and stop them clashing together

Yer thats true, still wouldnt get far! For me its a bit easyier as i drive the van to where i want to ride and dont stray too far from it and have a jerry can in it. But for longer or more remote riding it will be tricky. Or take a few of those canisters in the back pack and take it off to session a place, then throw it back on to move on. Wouldnt want to fall off and land on a backpack full of them though!

Yer ive been looking at the same stuff. at the moment ive ended up with a decent backpack with chest straps to keep it on and 2 x 500mm Fuel bottles http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HIGHLANDER-500ML-LIQUID-FUEL-STORAGE-BOTTLE-CAMPING-ORANGE-/170853107899?pt=UK_SportingGoods_Camping_CookingSupplies_ET&hash=item27c7a388bb

Ah thanks, thats awesome. So you run like 10psi for the more trail bits?
