  1. World Without Spokes

    in Aircooled Monoshocks

    Posted

    I am suprised that no one has tryed to bring them back today. Surely they would still not be deemed dangerous, or the design could be tweeked slightly!

    I've seen someone get their foot caught in a conventional spoked wheel, broke his ankle. It was a twin shock and one shock had to be removed to extract his foot.

    Might have been slightly more painful with a ham slicer wheel ?

  7. Jt Rumours

    in General Trials Talk

    Posted

    No. but there is a rumor that Mick is already unhappy with the new OSSA, and has shifted over to help Yamaha design their new bike. Or, at least engines to go into the Scorpa. Nobody seems to know if it is the 4-strokes only, or a new 2-stroke, as well.

    I heard that the yam with the XT500 engine was due out soon, can't wait.

  12. Tl-125 Hop Ups

    in Twinshock

    Posted

    (see TL125 articles)

    - but, 150cc kit for sure, Powroll or Sammy Miller kit; the liner may need a change (depending on if its a K or S model TL125

    - stronger springs (or different front end) surely makes sense.

    - tuning etc is a must as per the other post.

    I miss my TL125's, but go back to watching Gavin riding one of them in the Classic Experts a couple of year back to remind me why I shouldn't buy another one.

    seem to recall that the early TL's were 122cc and later one's 124cc.

    (that you on the SWM in the link above ?)

  13. Ty80 Questions.

    in Yamaha

    Posted

    40 : 1 etc refers to 1 part of oil to 40 parts of petrol.

    I don't know the correct ratio for a ty80, but 32 : 1 for bike of this age if its a mineral oil.

    If its semi synthetic oil 66 : 1 may be suitable, somebody will be along shortly to give you

    a more precise answer.

  22. Acu Licence

    in ACU Discussion

    Posted

    The thing that bugs me about the ACU liecence is that it has to be signed by a club sec,why ? Its just a simple form for trials,or even if it was just for your first licence.I only ride two trials each year that are ACU and I cant see why I should have to get the club sec to sign it.I really dont object to the fee,thats no problem .

    Up here its because you have to be a club member before they will even give you the license form, the signature presumably proves that.
