Coming to a Tesla near you....
-
Usually a bolt, welded to the frame, rough!y vertically. The length and position determined by the tank. A rubber bung is sandwiched between two largeish washers, and when compressed holds the tank. Usually some pipe insulation under the tank keeps everything snug.
-
We prefer to hurt ourselves before wearing protection ? I have plastic guards that cover knees and shins down to boots, probably wouldn't ride if I forgot them.
-
Normally an air leak causes a very fast idle.
-
Unless your man is dirt cheep, or free, I'd stick with recognised experts. Have you considered the suitability of the material being supplied as a replacement liner ?
-
Richard Allan is worth contacting.
-
Try a different lube. I take it the valve core is out ? I've heard of people using quite a bit more psi. (check max psi on tyre)
I'm assuming your using a decent sized compressor ?
-
How many psi are you using ?
-
Is the rim damaged, or just needing trued ?
Go round the spokes with a spanner or similar and tap each one, any dull sounding spokes are loose.
Get the wheel in the air and lub every nipple before trying to turn them.
-
How about the other end ?
Rinse the leg with brake cleaner or similar to improve friction.
Have you googled to see if there is anything available to break down thread lock ?
-
Can you see enough of the head to clamp vice grips onto ? Then pull as you turn ?
-
Mmmm, it this true, how did any of us get involved ?
-
A friend sold one a few months ago for 2k, no mot.
-
And yet, it's ok to cycle anywhere, 5 mile limit apparently doesn't apply ! I would think the risks of playing on a trials bike and cycling are very similar, why are we being so hard on our selves ?
-
"The good old days trials" obviously worked and encouraged sales/ participation. Current world level trials are a fantastic spectacle undoubtedly, but are as relevant to the grass root trials as juggling with flaming torches on a unicycle.
-
If the bike doesn't get really hot, at least occasionally, you will get a build up of 2strokes in the exhaust. If the box is steel, do as is suggested above, if it's alloy you could do all sorts of damage.
-
Is it actually gear oil, or crap from the exhaust ? (On many bikes I've used good quality silicon to seal cases, my method is use silicon sparingly, put casing on and tighten as usual, leave overnight to cure before adding oil )
-
The old "cheap" pre65's and twin shocks have had new tyres, bars, leavers, cables, frames replaced or modified, new tank and seats, hubs re-lined, wheels respoked, new shocks and fork springs, stancions re-chromed, piston & re-bored, tyres etc If you add these costs to an original price tag of £1500 (? ) your well on the way to 5/6k, ignoring labour.
@trapezeartist ?
-
What's the chances of the new boots being of the original quality ? Generally you have to go up a size in Sidi's.
-
There is a gentleman rides Cumberland county trials on an electric bike. I believe he is in his eighties.
Maybe contact the club for some info.

-
Something to consider when moving them back is the side stand, if you want to retain it this might be a limiting factor.
-
If your over 6' it will definitely make it nicer to ride.
-
Holding on to tight, will tire your arms quickly, and you need to be "loose" to move / compensate. Also, practising is probably more physical than riding a trial , as usually it's more intense with fewer breaks to recover.
-
racing your mate/s to the next section, helping fix mechanical problems, sharing sweets/ tools/plugs/ pints afterwards. All the above, and this is why multi day events are even better as you have so much more time to share stories / experiences - good and bad. . ( you meet the strangest of people queuing for pipeline !!!)
-
@breagh hearing the spec today, suspension and brakes that work ?
