@guys Cool! We'll speak some more of our flemish/dutch/afrikaans/english mix ! @dan thanks, cleaning up a few things, can't wait to ride again

Hmm. Right, so I'm new to this sport (been riding enduro and some mx), I've always been fascinated with it since I can remember, and now I decided to get a bike and try it out (LOVE it so far). But all I can remember/all I know is more or less the style we see today. Until this week when I stumbled upon this "No Stop" thing on the forums, thinking "No Stop, what's that?" Dug around a bit and found an article, found a video, which made me think "Ah! Keep moving? That's interesting, I wanna try that! " as in, "this is a little different from the standing still stuff and could be something interesting to try out and test my skills! " I would really enjoy having different events (or just having Saterday fun days where I pretend) where some are 'stop' and some are 'no stop' and seeing what happens (I understand there are some difficulties around track design...), and that serious events and championships this might be a hard point to make. BUT FOR ME, I like that there is ANOTHER aspect, with a different skillset that I try out challenge myself, and possible have more fun. More diversity...! The other aspect of trials that I love is that when I approached the community the first time I was amazed at how different the people are from the MX & Enduro crowd, very welcoming, non intimidating. Always trying to help me, showing me technique, helping me with problems, parts , etc BUT I didnt even know about trials until I saw it at an exhibition, and until I jumped in I didnt even realise there were so many riding spots,events, clubs and people involved! It was like this hidden secret!?! I wish it wasnt the case, I wish I found it earlier! So, I'm not sure about your countries, but isn't that why things are dying? Whatever happens, I'm just gonna keep doing what I love, ride my trials bike

Wow, that's a serious op. I've not had anything as serious but I've learned with mine that you need patience, little improvements every day. Range of motion and strength training, which sometimes seem like you just aint getting anywhere, with patience, does eventually break through. Hang in there, but never overdo it. Listen to the physio!

Cool, thanks. I'll do some more fork specific searching when I get to those just to be sure

Hallo guys! Nederlands is amper dieselfde as Afrikaans! Ek was in Nederland in 2009 en daar het ons met 'n Flaams persoon gepraat, Flaams is feitlik identies aan Afrikaans, ek kon nie die verskil optel nie! Hallo guys! Nederlands is almost the same as Afrikaans! I was in the Netherlands in 2009 and there we talked with a Flamish person, Flaams (?) is almost identical to Afrikaans, I couldn't pick up the difference!

americanbeta.com ! Thanks jmck I had a quick look through the files and the 2009 engine looks (atleast form the outside) exactly the same, frame, radiator, very similiar, things looks like they've been moved around a bit, frame to engine mounts a little different, but apart from that the same... I've done this kind of thing before, BUT I had a good service manual; important thing is to use the correct tools and lots of patience! The 45/50mm Marzocchi docs also on there, is that what this bike has? The owners technical manual says: "hydraulic fork with 38mm rods...", The technical data sheet says: "Front suspension: Hydraulic fork with 38mm sharf, Rear suspension: Monoshock" - no more detail!

Hi trialsters, I've acquired a '05 Rev3 and having had some nasty surprises in the past I'm taking the bike apart and checking everything. Yes, EVERYTHING! I've been hunting all over the interwebs for technical info, but I've entered a "somewhat disappointed" phase. Sites like www.trialspartsusa.com (Gas Gas) seem to have lots of info, even Gas Gas's own site has some decent info; I was able to find torque values, how to take apart and service the forks, etc etc; but this doesn't seem to be the case for Beta? So I then thought, okay, MAYBE the Gas Gas videos could give me enough insight and I watched the series on Gas Gas Engine Repair (http://www.youtube.c...y=engine repair) , 1 through 3, but after seeing all the little details I felt no confidence in taking apart this engine without some manual or something! Does the Beta engine also have small little re-assembly detail one needs to know to do this successfully? Or would I be in luck, with a well designed for maintenance work engine? I've so far stripped most off the frame and wondering if I should continue with the engine...

(Good day from SA!) Hi trialsters! I acquired a 2005 Beta Rev3 270 some months back, but due to wrist injuries from MX riding, I was unable to ride it more than a few times or work on it I've now healed up and started taking apart the bike and I'm hoping for no major surprises!
