I wouldn't even call it good for a centre trial really. It is definitely not up to British championship and most definitely world round standard.But I assume rocks will be imported to make the best of a bad job.
I thought it was an ad on insurance because most insurance policies don't cover competition use. Your bike has to have an insurance policy covering it.
It will need a lot of work to make good enough for a world round I would of thought.
Seems wrong that they go to man made venues. Is natural not good enough?
2015 model.
I would ring Lampkins for advice before fiddling. The carb is quite complex and not easy to work on. You can't actually adjust the mixture screw without removing the carb.
Theres one thing for sure. The market is not going to be big enough to support all the other manufacturers and Gas Gas with these big ideas.
Next year will be Beta, Gas Gas, Sherco, Scorpa, Vertigo, Trs, Montesa, Jotagas, Ossa?, plus a few companies doing electric bikes.
Its going to be interesting!
It's getting to the point where we will have to do our own policing. I read that police somewhere were only investigating house burglaries if they had an odd house number (could be even numbers)!See you up in trials country soon!
IRC had a new version of trials tyre that was going to be better at stopping on the rim. I tested one this summer. It went down as quickly as the old one!
If a cable control brake and clutch system was as good as hydraulic and less than half the price then surely trials manufacturers would use them.
Simple economics.
A good sharp edge is the difference between success and failure in many sections. If your only riding dry, grippy rocks then a worn tyre may be ok but anything slippy forget it!
For the majority of riders they have too much power so why they want even more is a mystery!I guess 90% of sections in club trials will not benefit from extra bike power.
