B40 - 428 buy it cheap and replace it often. (tried more expensive chains, gone back to replacing as sprockets last longer. Important when you know what's involved in changing the gear box sprocket)
Hi all, does anyone know if the damping screw on the rear shock will come all the way out, and if so what what effect will this have, i.e. can I put it back in again..
I don't want to remove it, but have started tweaking the suspension a bit, and feel limited, as I don't want the screw to fall out.
There's a place not too far from me in Leigh, that repairs/reconditions shocks and the like, haven't spoken to him yet as theres no need to, but if things get messed up I'm sure I can get it fixed, but do I need to know the specs of the shock, and if so where will I find them.....
Thanks again,
Andy.
PS. To anybody getting fed up of answering my cries for help, I realise I'm asking a lot of questions lately, but I'm just doing a bit of maintenance before attempting a trial - I still haven't done one yet due to commitments, ( no, not ''the commitments'' )...........Cheers.........
Broadly speaking..anything between the last of the twin shockers up to circa late 90's seems to have negligible value (except the TY /rtl monos maybe?).
Did my first trial last year, a novice trial. Absolutely hated it if i'm honest, didn't ride again for several months, put me right off.
One of the many things that contributed was the confusion over where I was supposed to be going. Wasn't until I'd completed 10 sections that I was told which flags I was supposed to be following. I had asked before starting but was given an answer as though I should already know this kind of stuff. Just to clarify the two trials they were running that day were novice and beginner.
I just practice on my own on some local waste ground nowadays.
You've ben really unlucky, the vast majority of riders are very helpfull.
It is a vee rubber tyre which is suitable for both tube and tubeless. Wheel is brand new as is the valve. I bought a new wheel to keep the old one for practice. When I first fitted the tyre I pumped it up to 30psi just to make sure it stayed on the rim. When I checked it a week later it was still 30psi. Only when in use does it deflate. I would be suprised if it was a valve issue as it would leak when not in use too. I really am stumped !!!
Sounds like a kink in the tyre. at 30psi the pressure holds it tight to the rim. but at 5psi its moving enough to leak.
Let me set out my stall here,I'm not a 4st hater, I've only tried a Cota 4rt and it was a hoot, suited me,great for p***ing about on but that just about sums up at what level I ride trials.
If someone is bothered about competitions/results I realise they would have to spend more money on the 4rt to compete with a (out of the box)2 stroke.
The std 4rt is for clubmen not experts.
But I'll add this caveat:If you're a top rider you can ride 'owt' but as for the other 99% of us??
Will the manufacturers now go to the FIM and tell them that the 4st /emissions regulations are economically unworkable?
God knows that Honda have thrown everything at it and it seems they have suffered the worst commercially.
So what we're saying here is that the marketing men have cocked it up ;Montesa-Honda now realise that the average trials rider aint gonna pay
(except the TY /rtl monos maybe?).
