Carole Nash write to me every year seemingly promising the world.. NEVER actually supply anything decent. Last used them in 2007 - no real clue about a trials bike.
Tried MSM but didn't recognise model of Ossa I had and then doubled quote price out of nowhere.
Now use BeMoto - who have been brilliant last few years. Know what they're talking about and cover appears comparable with everyone else.
Always look around each year but last 3 or 4 BeMoto been best by a mile (and a £)
Have you had the misfortune to claim from Bemoto ? Anybody ? Otherwise it's all smoke and mirrors ...
I'll be honest, I basically wouldn't call stops at all unless you're entirely motionless for a solid 3 count, or you're stopped with a foot down. I realize this isn't to the letter of the rules. It is however how I see largely see the majority of observers interpreting the rule. Forward motion I could care less about... If that were enforced, every time a rider threw a nose wheelie it would be a five.
If people really want no stop, section design needs to change.
I appreciate your honest answer. Not sure where this count to three came from, why not two, or four ? Is it 1 2 3, or onne.twooo. threeee?
I actually agree that the rules should be changed for "modern" trials, but fairly sure it would cause as many problems as it solves.
I wish everyone did it the way it’s done in Japan and Spain!
love watching videos of there events.
Videos are fine, they have been edited down. Watching a rider balancing in a section discussing lines, and adjusting position ad nauseam, not so exciting ?
Imagine actually riding in a trial like this, not for me ....
No more or less than all the other guys that do the exact same thing... sometimes it's called, sometimes it isn't. But again, this is the fault of the rules. If we haven't figured out by all the arguing and debate that goes on regarding whether it was or wasn't a stop that these rules suck, I give up.
The rules are quite simple, which bit don't you understand ????
Unfortunately there is a paradox about the ability of stickers to increase HP of the Trials bike.
Yes, stickers increase the power of the Trials bike, but the additional weight of the sticker negates that power. So you pretty much end up with the same power output in the end, but the bike will look totally cool
Deep ! This is getting into the boost bottle / mojo territory !
My 1st post here but wd40 is not a lubricant and never was.We use it for cleaning and it is great for water and gunk removel but sucks as a lube.It is basically kerosene with bad lube properties.Chain wax works well on these bikes after a good cleaning.
Ah ok, yes that does sound like the ideal solution!
I'm thinking of going up a couple of teeth on the front to 14, since at the moment first gear is pointless and the bike can't do more than maybe 25mph flat out (not great between sections on a long trial)
Regina are pretty good, I wash with petrol, blow off / dry. Use putoline dx 11. Chains last well in local conditions. I've been buying regina chains for £20.
If your problem started after a fall, chances are you damaged something to cause the problem. Check all connections, look for damaged/crushed wiring. Re-seal the exhaust to eliminate that, same with throttle body, reduce tickover till it sounds correct.

Not necessarily, but I wouldn't get to excited without evidence of a good service.
