    Tubless Rim

    Expand please. Incidentally will parsons russel t--rds do the same trick ? No shortage of them.
  3. Hi BJ No problems at all, just noticed the movement while checking the primary chain tension. Ross
  4. Got quote from MSN, and like others, was approx 4 times the cost of my present policy.

    Oil Changes

    If any debris doesnt come out with the oil its probably not circulating the engine anyway. I'd stick with regular changes.

    Tubless Rim

    Just changed my first tubless tyre at the weekend, really difficult to break the bead. After that it was so easy. Got a compressor so 80 psi to get it seated was no problem. Would agree with comments re rim locks, tyres turning and pulling the valve stem, pinch punctures etc However, in actual use cant say I notice any difference in feel. Would hate to have a puncture in the middle of nowhere with a tubeless.
  9. Sadly there are few like you (in my experience) Most of my pay rises working for a national company, came with promotions. Often promoted away from what I was good at ! Bonus were another incentive that month on month got harder and harder to achieve. Eventually I devised away to hold figures back so this wasn't such a problem, till I got caught. Strangly enought, my director just laughed and told me not to do it again.
  10. Got a new clutch basket and centre + roller bearings. Still exactly the same (old basket was worn from friction plates anyway) Was looking at Rupert Ratios book again and it mentions a thrust washer between drum and flange. Mine has never had one, and looking for one on the trialsbits site it's not listed. Any suggestions for a suppier ? Thanks Ross C & D autos have bi-metalic (bronze/steel) thrust washer @ 6 thou, but it isn't listed for this model. Is this slight rock really a problem ?
  11. Must be a pleasure working for you, your a rare commodity.
  12. Go self employed - that way you only have to work for one ass*ole. (worked for me - so far)
  13. Try Alan Whitton (race engineering) 01246 419 805
  14. Paint mudguard black / yellow, stick on letters & numbers.
  15. Plastic shin / knee protectors, always.
  16. look here http://www.trialsbits.co.uk/product_info.p...products_id=525
  17. Are they Betor or Mar (the other ones)
  18. Help Just discovered play between the clutch centre and basket on my B40. How much is acceptable, if any ? Might new roller bearings help, or is it time for (gulp) new clutch assembly. Any info appreaciated. Ross
  19. Bit like my wife, put dirty fingermarks on new bits, but doesnt fool her either.
  20. Instead of disabling the bikes, why dont we disable the thieves ? (I've got a chainsaw)
  21. Its a chicken & egg with me, I dont ride pre 65 more frequently as few clubs cater for them, and its not that much fun if only one or two turn up. Equally the clubs dont cater for only one or two pre 65 riders.
  22. TQF - automatic transmission fluid

    40's Trials

    How bad were the brakes on his bike ? http://images.google.com/hosted/life/l?img...t%3D54%26um%3D1
  24. That crash at the TT at 0.50 is like one of those falling nightmares.
