  1. I for one think Lewis should win... END OF STORY.... lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala .... I not listening to anybody that does not agree with me ... lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala :guinness:

    You remind me of my brother, when he was three, thirteen, twenty three etc etc

  2. Hi Guy's

    Hi Nige,

    Yes I found the bearing on Simply Bearings Last night. I have spoken with my Machinist mate today, and he said it would probably be better to grind the races, and use phospher bronze for the two washer/spacers. that hold the oil presure in.

    I will order a bearing along with the drivside main and gearbox etc , tomorrow.

    Another tip I have found out is to use double rubber sealed bearings, and just remove one for the drive side main, keep both in for the rest, and this stops most of the oil leaks. And for the amount of work that a trials bike does,they will be fine with there own lubrication.

    Will let you know how we get on mate. Good luck with yours in the mean time.

    Regard's Charlie.

    If you ever pick out the rubber seal on a new bearing you will be shocked at the tiny amount of grease in there, probably worth adding some.

  3. i think its a case of you dont get what you dont pay for.

    I had the misfortune to buy a China built quad for my lad.

    The chain wore out after a couple of outings and was actually made up of 4 short peices with 4 split links.

    The "paint" fell off the frame after a few months, whilst rectifying that I spotted that most of the joints were at best tack welded. Whilst re-welding the frame it came to light that the tubes was little better than conduit.

    a few months later he had managed to wear a hole in the clutch cover with his muddy boots.........

    The electics were a night mare..

    No spares back up, no re-sale value... it would have been cheaper to buy a Suzuki.

    The moral of this sorry tale is not to buy anything untill it has been on the market for a while and all the teething problems are sorted / known about.

  4. It can't be Andy Murray for two reasons:

    1. He has made it quite clear he is Scottish and not British :guinness:

    2. BBC Sports ''PERSONALITY'' well he aint got any of that :)

    Funny the British Olimpic games are in London, right in the centre of the country for easy access to all citizens.

  5. Found some info and it said Zip Karts with two 256 rotech engines not sure if those are the ones in the video. B40RT a clutch was my first guess too but if you look at the video i,m not sure anymore ?

    Right at the end, the driver cuts the engine and coasts in with the left pedal right down.

  6. Say what you like(good input),but I have often thought that if a bike were going to production in China for the masses it should be the 200 in this basic config or better!

    A nice simple 4T that works well and inexpensive to maintain with inexpensive readily available parts.

    There was/ is someone associated with Cotswalds classics that will do you a chineese motor 200 in a Majesty frame reproduction that I inquired about some time back. Cost as much as a new mod bike so that put me out.

    If they can build radical tricked out pit bikes for nought, you would think they could do something worthwhile!

    You blokes that are heavily into this stuff may have different views, not sure.

    :guinness:

    The cost is related to what they think you can afford. Take TY80's, they were a fraction of the price of a full sized bike, buy actually probably cost more to produce.

  7. Just looked close and i think one pedal is rear and the other for front wheel braking ? will try Bombardiay in my search thanks !

    Pretty sure left pedal is clutch, havn't heard of different pedals for front and rear brakes.

  8. It's good for Raga ,Cabs and co. 'cos the only reason I went to the show was to be hypnotised into making me a better trials rider than Mr. Bou...so there..I've put the World title attempt on hold for the mo'. :guinness:

    Should that not be "put the world title attempt on hold for the ma"
