If the gearbox problem is 'keeps jumping out of first' they all do that. ATF in the box will make it better or ..

nice looking bike what make are the rear shocks/ springs? the exhaust box doesn't look like anything in sammys catalogue although it looks fantastic and probably works a treat good luck with it

had a chance to check the no.s on my cub 19 engine 13 gearbox 62 rear wheel never wished for any thing else unlike my old Greeves which I spent 5 years looking for gearing Nirvana and barely got to Rochdale

I use wide chain on my cub with no problems with rubbing etc. it was on when i bought the bike a year ago and its done maybe 30 trials this year. yes I should buy a new one but lubed with Tesco 'value' oil at 93p a litre its clean but 'stretched' in strict compliance with p65 rules i have a fantastic english carb made near Whitby (well 5000 miles from Whitby) sadly no longer made and parts no longer available, even from the land of the free ( one of my jets has 3 amp fuse wire through it to fine tune it) but it does run fantastic. a new del Orto is the easier way to go and has everything you'll need, its too late to remember my gearing but i'll drop a line mon. a.m. when i've had chance to have a look.

There are a good number of books with loads of photos and info. The best book for beginners (or the plain useless like me) is probably ''Motor Cycle Trials,techniquies and training by Lane Leavitt and Len Weed (1978)it's avaialble but fairly rare on Ebay for around 20-25 beer tokens its based on twin shocks but gives a breakdown on how to ride and the reasoning behind it. The more common Observed Trials ( 1985) by 'world champion' Bernie Schreiber and len weed is again twin shock based and is similar to the earlier book but has more focus on Schreiber himself and his achievements. Going rate on the bay is 99p to 25 quid Books by other 'stars' of the day tend to be photo opportunities for their latest manufacturer and lack the 'how to' that might actually improve your riding Sadly there seems to be a gap in the market for a book or dvd , probably as the market is so small, for a how to prepare and ride a modern bike in clubmans trials. I have not seen the Ryan Young dvd but have seen the price..

Full circle no question

And the only catch is its in FRANCE. (which is further south than Barnsley even)

fuel flow into the float bowl is unrestricted and will flow and flood the carb until the float/s rise and lift the needle valve so that it closes the fuel supply off. check if the float/s are leaking by removing from carb and holding close to ear and shaking, you may hear fuel in them if it is leaking and/or immersing in a glass of petrol and look for air bubbles. check and double check they are set at the right height. if the carb is more than a couple of years old replace the needle valve and its seat they wear and / have high spots you cant see. considering the cost and hassle and for piece of mind replace float/s and needle valve and seat. job done guaranteed!

eligibility for the p65 scottish is avaialble on ssdt.org under downloads , p65 entry and for a couple of p65 clubs at www.yorksclassictrials.co.uk and redroseclassictrials.co.uk although in truth red rose are fairly loose in their interpretation and as long as you dont clear up there fairly cool Yorks classic are fairly easy as long as your within the spirit of the thing and happy to work with them on details of what is and isnt allowed as a fair to fairly poor rider no one has ever given my bikes a second glance because they always 'look' okay with regard to trick bikes all our bikes are trick to the best of our abilities whether they lay with a lathe, cheque book or a wide circle of friends or even lest we forget riding skill..

Easier to come by hens teeth, dont buy bits wait until a complete engine/ box comes up having ridden a 32a for 5 years and having recently ridden a 37a James wait for a 37a to come along but be prepared to lash your cash!!

1st until your really comfortable with the clutch and throttle control, then move up to most stuff in 2nd with 3rd for the loooong sliippppy climbs

I cant find the website for Faber Frames. I was thinking of an 'Otter' frame for my cub Has the address changed? had a long look at Duncan Mcdonalds cub today at a trial does he make them commercially?

take the tank off the bike and empty it then fill it with a dozen or so new nuts and bolts.. shake and shake and shake wash it out with petrol/diesel and then get some of that white petrol tank sealant from the shop in Leeds pour it in the tank swirl it around and leave for 4 days the sealant dries rock hard and white which has the bonus of been able to see clearly how much fuel you have left

TMX and Trials World both have the same publisher and outlook, they are written by fans of the sport who have to make it pay, so we get bland reviews of bikes that say that each new bike is better than the previous otherwise they wouldn't get the bikes to test. We get event reports written by enthusiasts in which we all feel we should have been mentioned, even when we finished 20th out of 50. What I suspect we want are frank reviews that are open and honest, and reports that read like the sports pages of the tabloids. However we have to be realistic, we love a minority sport, more people play Bridge at their local Bridge club than ride trials each week but, when did you last see Bridge News on sale at your local newsagents? Long may TMX , however flawed keep it up.

Go to WWW.Yorksclassictrials.co.uk Many of the members have been retired years and a regular class winner is 80 and another 75. Even lightweight Cubs and James's weigh 10/15kg more than a modern bike and the sections aren't that easy. I ride modern + p65 trials on my cub and i finish about the same position in both..
