totalshell

no free toy but the msm includes roadwork during trials. under 100 quid carole nash etc good value to get a tax disc i got 7 bikes done for less than 230 quid..

msm

set about the front end of the 200.. two ambitions.. tune. ( cough) the front forks to lose some of the static sag (over a 1/3 of total movement.) and straighten the front brake bar that got badly bent when i ran out of fuel almost at the top of a very steep climb and rolled all the way back down FAST.. i upped the oil levels in the forks from a cheapskate 160ml to the manuals 220/30 of 10wt and swapped out the solid 40mm spacer in each leg for a 50mm length of old fork spring .. see how that goes at the weekend ( no driveway trials as the whole street is out on thier sun loungers.. a straightened the brake steady ( not hard, as i ve seen stiffer curley wurleys) and pulled out the front wheel so i can check the new shoes are wearing evenly.. i may even get to finish this job tomorrow..

pay the 200 quid your going to have to pay 150 at some point so splash the cash.. dont get the old design upgrade with the part to the later design or you lll just have to do it again.. or you could use someone elses part from thier bike..

never seen them on any of my fantics .. nor the parts diagrams...

leg on ebay today a tenner..

the 35mil forks do split just the same

or you could buy a new one on that there ebay where they are regulars..

parts availability is nt the only issue although its a big one.. how many other folks have one and can share information/ support your rebuild.. i suspect you could fit all the other owners on a tandem or a unicycle at a pinch.

you know when you have something to sort out that you ve been putting off.. well today i grabbed the 200 by the forks and sorted it.. BOOM. the 200 forks have wept for a while but not from the seals, right down at the bottom where the screw goes into the damper rod. on advice i stripped em right down again and cleand up the surface, howeverassembling the real issue became obvious.. althouigh apperaing nice and sugly tightened up ther was just a smidgen of up and down movement so i whipped it ot added another washer and BINGO. the fork now holds oil so i reassembled with a new spring from inmotion ( site sponsers..) and a correct length spacer and 150ml of 5wt oil and 3 hours later its still oil tight. . whilst about it and inspired by vestys weight reduction i reached for the chop saw and had the lock off the headstock ( 153g as you ask) . at some point the brake cable stay had become 'lost' so the brakes needed fettling once a replcement was sourced form a well known tinternet auction site beginning in e and ending in bay i added a new cable and shoes from a site who is not site sponser but offers next day service and cheap prices.. the shoes/ drum interface was a bit 'baggy' 'slack' the root cause been the drum would benifit from a skim but needs must so i packed the trailing shoe a littel and the front stopper stops, not as good as a disc but it stops.. .. fuelled it up two kicks and bingo riding leak free, the only downside the other leg will need its spring and oil changing before we move on to tuning the things.. as they can work well these mazzochis.. and how do we know ahh confesion.. a new italian mistress.. a 301 has found its way into the shed and even though its very eark ly days seems to have its feet under the table it has a disc so stops and forks that work.. i 'll confess that i bought it cheap to part out and keep the motor but as its complete runs well and was originally sold locally at PEMS i think it ll grace the garage for a while at least whilst the local club contemplates an air cooled monos class for next year...

couple of things.. without spending a ton of cash.. dump the water and run anti freeze at the minimum dilution the boiling point will rise .. second run ssdt sprockets as recomended by beta uk for road running.

could just be set not to tickover by the sounds of it..

get it up to pennine trials sport only 30 mins from you andy knows his stuff..

always had good stuff from classic trials for my fantics..

78 quid for the year down from just shy of 83

ask yourself this.. is red a black a popular colour choice for ty's or is yellow the more popular..

following a reccomendation from this site , last year i signed up one of my bikes with MSM as i specifically wanted to cover the bike for use during trials. you can buy insurance on the day from Locktons for

mikish.. you ve spoken of delays.. was the stuff good gear? his bikes always seem to go very well that sandra won the ladies ..again.. at the pre 65 on his cub.

9/48 no chain rub goes slower than a slow thing

1 adult, 3 youths, 3 juniors..

i ve never seen that many tlrs in one trial..

not only strictly a 5 but he even goes backwards at 50 sec.. how can it be non stop if you lock the front wheel and pivot on it.. the daft thing is that they are doing these tricks on the easiest parts of the section.. just cant get stop allowed tricks out of thier heads.. make it simples no clutch allowed.. then you d stop this messing..

beta...buy on condition not age.. rev 3 everything availab le from Lampkins nxt day or 48hrs..

a non running bike with the engine in bits.... 400 quid at best..

there cant be much wrong with it .. is the water getting up to temp. as i remember all you do is whip the wires off stat and join them together to test the fan and if it works its the stat.. if the stat is working via a boiling water test all is good mechanically.. so the stat is not getting hot enough insitu.. if you ve run it for 10 mins and the fan dont come on then the stats sat in an air pocket and not water..is the pump working??
