  1. I thought that any part of your body (leaning against trees etc) is a one or more. Toes on ground whether the rest of the foot is on the footrest, still a one, or two etc. Its when riders argue / question such a point that some observers say, enough's enough. Many trials I got to you see people who used to observe, walking round, while club riders have to give their ride due to shortage of observers.
  2. First thing to do is get a Camel Back or similar. Hydration is all important.

    Multi Bike?

    I knew a RSM, nicest bloke you could wish to meet, nobody ever argued with him, even when he retired. I wonder why ?
  12. I take it that it doesn't mean an exceptional Caesar salad then ?
  13. Remember when your truing the wheel that as well as the side to side run out, the up and down run out. Adjust the spokes by small amounts. Tap them with a spanner or similar to see if they ring, if they don't its a sure sign they're slack. Also look at this http://www.trialscentral.com/cms/showartic...hp?articleID=98
  14. As in "your tackle is Beezer" said Bertie Wooster to his gentleman's gentleman ?

    New Dad!

    Congratulations Gaz and Mrs Gaz & Gazette. I watched my daughter being delivered bu c section, not for the faint hearted. We used to go riding sections together when she was about 3, her sitting, me standing. Ah memories. Like I fell asleep at the wheel and crashed the car. Your going to be tiered, so be careful. And enjoy.
  16. I've had condensors that would work or 20 mins then fail, and work again when cold. Halfords or any motor factor should be able to provide something similar. If it wont fit in its original position, move it. I think there is a post on Montesa re siting.
  17. It is a trial bike thing that happens to many, but not all, bikes. Start and warm engine, roll bike forward and put into gear, ride around with clutch in, usually works.
  18. In road racing, lack of engine / frame no's get you kicked out. The police, I'm told got to race meeting in civvies and admire the bike in the car parks etc. Apparently with some success. Unfortunately, if a bike is stolen as a donor of internal mechanical parts its not so easy. Maybe wiring and sealing motors, with receipts for repair parts might make a difference. None of this helps trials I know, but the less attractive these sorts of thefts become, maybe they will move on to something else. I was repairing a window at a flat that had been broken into a few weeks ago, nothing they thought had been taken, very little mess. The thieves were not interested in i-pods etc, only lap tops. Sat navs are also desirable, you have been warned. As GrahamJayzee says, it wont stop joyriders, and a new generation is born with monotonous regularity. Edinburgh does have a center where offenders work on bikes, repairing, building etc. Unfortunately this is almost a reward for stealing, though better than continuing to offend. Apparently, alot of offenders stop when they reach 16, and can be held to account. This may also be down to female distractions etc. Maybe the government should insist that all bikes are fitted with one of those devices that can be activated when its stolen, some Police cars are fitted with tracking devises. I believe that JCB fit tracker as standard to their machines.
  19. Interesting, people complaining about the aesthetics of this frame compared to the likes of Sherco, and Neo is posting that his Sherco frame keeps cracking.
