Steve we have both been called "Yankees" this week ................. And they say people from the USA are geographically ignorant MMM

Lets be practical here. Who pulls a wheelie and then puts the front brake on. Even if they did if the back wheel was stopped then it would be a lack of forward motion. Even when they are hopping from rock to rock (with the front wheel in the air) the back wheel has to turn to do so. Hey Dave. Will there be anywhere to ride in Alberta if/when the new LSR Sask takes effect? Hey Old Trials Fanatic I am from Glasgow Scotland as far from a yank as one could get.

Steve Just got your text last night. All is well, I will call you or e mail you at the weekend. Yanks my a***.................

"It always makes me sigh when the yanks keep going on about sensors on the wheels" Where are the "Yanks" going on about this? "We have all done this at some point and know it to be true that you havent stopped forward motion so lets just dismiss that as an irrelevance." Ignorant B*******. Lets just dismiss your postings also. Maybe you should read what was actually wrote.

Somebody help me understand................... For an objective moving in one direction, it has to come to a COMPLETE stop to change direction (unless it is an ellipse or circle). All energy has to be killed (or transferred into another form of energy). So, is the new ruling trying to penalize the lack of forward movement or movement period............. If it is trying to penalize the lack of movement then this is impossible as a bike has to stop in oder to change direction. So if a bike is going up a rock and the (as in the PR no stop video) and the rider is on his back wheel and then hops the bike laterally side ways seemingly without stopping. The bike had to have stopped to change direction. If I roll down a hill and then lift the back end of the bike in the air to flick the back end over the wheel is still moving/turning in mid air even though the front wheel is stopped just not moving forward. So, is the new ruling focused on a lack of forward motion or motion period? If it is a lack of motion then a simple device can be hooked up to the bike that detects no movement to the front wheel. The witness to this lack of movement can be a buzzer or lights that the judge can see. If the buzzer or light goes off then the bike has stopped. The device would monitor how long the bike was actually stopped for. Not how long the rider was in the section. We could even goes as far in the brains of this device to have different time delays for each class. That is adjustable on the bike with maybe five different settings. As one progresses through classes you get less time to stop at anyone point in a section. An upper class could say have 5 sec time delay and the lower classes such as a novice 15 seconds. The trials marshall could even deem each section with different time delays for stopping. Harder sections could have a longer time delays assigned to them affording a stop and set up, with no stop type sections having little to no time delay. This then begs the question should the device be monitoring the lack of movement from the front wheel or rear wheel? This device is VERY doable and simple.

Aye Steve we do. And I am holding my tongue and biting my lip. LOL

Be the truth known Steve although from Canada is actually of Scottish heritage and he has spent many a time in in Scotland. That is why he such a good rider LOL

Hey Hank Hill (Mark) try these out below. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BncDeMO_en0 As for no stop riding. If you look back at the origin of the sport stop or no stop was not an issue just getting from point a to b was the goal. The sport started out as a quality test of the bikes design engineering, craftsmanship. They built the bikes and tried to ride them up the braes, hills, gullies behind the workshops and see if they held together. If it did it would surely hold up on the poorly paved roads at that time. It soon turned into a challenge to see who could go up the braes, hill, gullies without putting there feet down. Mark are you going to Austin next weekend?

The tuchter has spoken. Sorry my laird Fracy. An urrainn dhut bruidhinn nàs maille? A can thu sin a-rithist, ma's e do thoil e?

Mark everybody from the USA is considered a Yanky in the UK even the southerners. Mark is right when Hank Hill (Mark) and I are next to each other you can tell we are speaking from two different worlds. Mark, when I speak what you are hearing is not an accent but rather English words pronounced properly. An since when do I ever get a 5 in a section ??? 4.5 maybe but never a whole 5!

Na bother at awe. As long as Modifer wants to watch "snatch" again and not actual plays with his "snatch" again then we awe all right. LOl I see he's a yanky and no a sassanach then. Dae ye ken? So its a dram then an no a pint o stout? How about a wee black and tan. Yell be in yer kip when a type yon reply. Am awa tae mine as well. Its fer drechi er here the nigt.

B40rt U ye guanny stuan back an take that fae a sassanach? LOL Stick the heid on yon wan. Ill huad yer chips, de ye want a len o ma chib? LOL Glesga got yer back gon yerself Auld reekie...........

Which fork leg do you want to know the viscosity of? One is compression the other rebound so one can put in different viscosity oils end each leg to achieve desired affect. Most people I know put a heavier oil in the compression side i.e. 10 > 15 weight and 5 > 10 weight in the rebound side. Hope this kelps?

I think a Glasgow kiss or Glasgow smile may be in order here chaps? LOL Can ye huad ma pint fer mae while dae him in Jimmy! A newer bike eh? So you need a newer bike to go riding, go practice? Let me know when you get it and we can go out and see what it can do.

Mark What is your big interest in any Trials rules changing. The new rules or in fact any rules only affect those who actual STILL ride trials or even show up at events or practice. Bench trialers are not affected by rules, so you should be okay Get your bike out out of storage and then talk to us about how the rules are affecting us! LOL

Degree studio By "DUST" I am assuming you mean Carbon build up ? No, the carbon build up does not affect vacuum (other than scavenging) the length of the stroke, bore size and altitude effects, determines vacuum seen at the carb Venturi. Flooding is a symptom of a mechanical switch (i.e. floats) not switching off for various reasons, vacuum is an effect of pressure differentials. Feetupfun is giving you some likely scenarios and I am sure there are many others. Does this help?

Hey Portman The little black cap is flexible enough at the tip (round part) to give a little plus air does get past the edges of it. Any serious application of this CV carb on any other bike, quad would see this spigot have a little rubber hose attached and pointing downwards to avoid water, crap from getting into it. Try this test, Take the carb off and lift the slide up and down with your finger, feel the resistance, and how it lifts up and down quite smoothly, now block up the spigot good and tight with another finger and see how many times you can lift the slide up and down before the slide gets sticky and sluggish. You can even try this exercise with the little black cap installed and not installed. Or stick your mouth over the spigot and lift the slide up and down and feel the air going in and out. I am guessing that the movement of the slide going up and down due to pressure changing makes the little black cap eventually move and come off that is why they always come off or split. The issues with this little black cap is amplified if you live/ride in high in elevations. I guess Beta felt if was good enough with the little black dust cap ?????? Cheers

This little rubber part goes over the atmospheric equaliazation tube for the slide diaphragm on the carb. Otherwise known as the angled shiny part at the tops side of the carb. This angled spigot tubes job is to let the slide breath/move freely as it adjusts to the pressure differential as the slide moves up and down. If one where to block this angled spigot's hole up completely (epoxying it) the slide would not move up and down correctly. With that being said, leaving it completely open lets it breath properly, Caveat: If it was left completely open because it points straight up it is VERY prone to water getting into (washing the bike) and also dirt. It is best to take a rubber hose put it on the spigot and let it arc or bend over gently facing downwards. The little rubber cap installed from Beta just lets it breath enough for it to function. In the normal application of this CV carb i.e. dirt bikes, quads etc it would have hose attached to it. Cheers

Is this a Beta 4T. If so this part is an important little part.

Degree studio You wrote: "So, i assume that some amount of pressure "ran backward" to carburation system. This caused carburation pressure to exceed atmospheric pressure in the float tank. Basically the atmospheric pressure didnt manage to push the fuel to jets in the float tank of the carb !" Respectfully, I am not quite sure if I agree with your diagnosis. The vacuum seen at the carb Venturi is due to the stroke of the piston creating a vacuum and the atmospheric pressure pushing on the fuel surface which in turn pushes the fuel up the jets. It has nothing to do with pressure at the piston dome/crown or compression. If this was accurate in what you say then a 300cc would have more back pressure on the carb than say 125cc bike? Also your bike has reeds in it which would take care of any back pressure to carb as the piston descends. Is the bike running okay now?

I would not hesitate to buy a OSSA. Gas Gas has a great warranty and should back it up for years to come.

Think GOSSA or OSSAGAS

Anyone up to buying a GOSSA?

Hey Mark Of course it did confuse you, your a Texan.......... The alphabet has 26 letters and he is only good friends with 25 of them. DUH.............

I think it would be more suitable for an olympic sport once we see electric trials bikes on the scene and more mainstream.
