well a shorter wheelbase will mean a tighter turning circle. however the placement of the lower shock mount and length of the shocks will impact the result. the longer swing arm should improve grip and the longer wheelbase should improve stability at speed. you pays your money ...

sounds as if its jetted ok.. i'd retard the ignition a tad and see if that gives what you are looking for.. ( mark the original spot before starting so you can put it back if you dont get what she wants..)

i ll be the devils advocate.. sales of printed material are in free fall, space on supermarket shelves is impossible to buy, space on wh smith shelves almost as hard local independents wont carry unless its full SOR, paper and printing costs are rising faster than inflation the market is hideously niche/ specialist SMALL. the specific market is renowned as being low spend. look away from your target market at other specialist magazines and under stand how they work and if they survive. the best example might be Singletrack magazine based in todmorden.fanatstic product head and shoulders above competitors, small staff highest quality paper printing photography to die for very low subscription prices massive virtual prescence and this in a high end high desposable income market and i dont see any of them driving anything but vans.. if you were on dragons den i guarentee EVERY dragon would be OUT.

if the forks are running 'low' ie front end down or compressed you have a spring issue not oil... oil or no oil forks will be the same height..the oil impacts how they move when compressed/extended but even then the major force is from the springs..

you ve made your first mistake already.. if it aint broke dont fix it..

he once left me the part on his kitchen window sill.. cant fault that.. cant remember where i was supposed to leave the fiver..TOP TIP.. do not mention its for a trials bike.. NOT a fan.

there used to be just such a thing on the beta site.. there is no manual other than the basic owners guide that new bikes came with. but frankly they are simple things and these very pages are the font of all knowledge

10 grands very reasonable for that level of kit out, simple 4 wheel car trailers can easily be that much.

. looks first brand new.. better than even. please keep the pics coming they can be a valuable resource for other builders.. makes me smile to see trials bikes built on a piece of towel so not to scratch it before you fling it at rocks.

paul jackson makes a cracking frame, see yorks classic trade pages

covered many many times in these pages.. get dating letter from an approved source ( via dvla website) get nova1 from hmrc get insurance on frame number get mot on frame number pop in post with a cheque.. wait.. wait either you ll get it all back with a 'dear john' letter or you ll get a v5c or you ll get an appointment to produce said vehicle for inspection..

both selector forks are the same so whip out the other and compare. personally i think one of the arms looks too short from my experience , getting bantam boxes together isnt straight forward but there are worse to work on.

stripped down i dont think theres that much between a std fantic 200 and the tlr.. geomtry is a bit lazy on the honda but it was a bike built for trails not trials. overall even farily std the tlr is an effective tool to throw at rocks

http://bsanotrun.angelfire.com/gearbox.html the internet is a room with an open door..

6 in the front 4 in the back.. but as the tlr is a grip monster you ll be fine

run great on the amal. all jets etc available quickly and cheaply the best bantams and the simplest cnversions use the 626 cant see the advantage of the mikuni.

we use this stuff up here in yarkshire.. H2O.

i use plumbers silicone for use on flues, heat rated so wont melt/ catch fire.. if its good enough for keeping folks alive its good enough to keep your mistress quiet..

bear with.. the trial is run by just a couple of lads, i read on yorks classic that its full again and they are appealing for observers.. one of the best trials of the year.. great route great sections.

easy to critise.. but look at the photos etc.. they are what get the column inches.. looks fantastic who would nt want to see that..

why do you need part numbers.. just ring beta uk and they ll send what you need..

i'd expect the observer gave the mark appropriate to what he saw. if i were the observer id have probably given a 5. top class rider going backwards twice, spectator offering a hand obviously believed he d fallen off. if it were some lad paddling through i d have give a 3 for sheer effort.
