  2. Hi these seem very good http://www.onfire.co.uk/mens/jackets-and-f...product697.html http://www.cyclexpress.co.uk/Products/Nevi..._Jacketnew.aspx I find the best way to look after waterprof clothing is to wash in the machine in a not to hot wash with no detergent, it may not get the very badlly soil items looking like new but for trials/sports gear does it matter Cheers Whiz

  4. why anyone would want to start a topic in any forum questioning Dougie Lampkins ability is beyond me, perhaps the fact that it is turning into a childish slanging match may go some way to explain
  5. Hi Any news from kinlochleven?
  6. Seem to remember there was 1 or 2 buzzing around the parc ferme at fort bill maybe three years ago think one even had stabilisers on it. Some one will put me right I`m sure but I also thnk that a uk importer for one of the mainstream bikes had some involvement, sure I read that in TMX Cheers Whiz

  12. It is with regret that the Skye Trials Club have had to cancel the youth round scheduled for 3rd june. The round scheduled for July at Kyleakin will now be held in Heaste.
  13. Hi all think you will find that you are not towing the bike if none of it`s wheels are on the road, so kerb weights etc may not be an issue nose weights possibly will apply, but if you are worried about those nice tax collectors with the diced caps then your rack manufacturer should be able to put you straight, personally i prefer the ostrich approach. or you could try "sorry officer i never thought about it, but if you let me off I will cut up that nasty rack thingy with a hacksaw, honest guv"
  14. Went to a talk at the Nevis center in Fort Willim last night, first class night, a very informative talk by john Moffat Great pictures and video from years gone by up to 2006 trial, good to see the trophy`s up close. Brilliant display by Danny and Duncan on the pushbike trials bikes. many thanks to John and everyone involved.
  15. Hi GLYPH read all the replys, and I`m afraid just about everyone seems to have missed the point for me, Mechanical failure, in most cases, comes from corrosion and wear,leaving your bike covered in muck from one outing to the next is just plain silly. All that muck and crud is made up of tiny bits of grit which are wearing away at all moving parts such as chain/sprockets, it`s getting into your bearings, brake pads, perhaps even into caliper seals and depending where you were riding there may even be corrosive substances in all that muck and when you are tucked up in bed it`s busy munching away at all that lovely alloy, and the nexy time you wheel your bike out with all that dryed on crud, which has now turned itself into grinding paste and you are hurtling towards the bottom of that mega hill climb, having not quite made it to the top and you pulled the brakes on and the callipers went psssss Don`t blame the bike washing and cleaning is an essential part of maintenance, and maintenance is an essential part of safety. RANT OVER prize for best reply goes to jumbostu
  16. Hi don`t know if this will be much help, but I have a techno, found it to be a really good bike, the only peculiarity with it is, it would be a total b***ch to start if you forgot to turn the fuel off when you put it away, even a short van journey with the fuel on would leave it difficult to fire up. remember to turn the fuel off, and it would fire up first kick every time.java script:emoticon('', 'smid_1')
  17. Hi Guys the guy on the clip is Danny MacAskill, he is from The Isle of Skye,now living in Edinburgh He is rekoned to be the first guy to perfect the forward flip on a trials bike, He must be one of the best there is. If any of you have a sony psp then this is the guy on the promotional video he is also one hell of a nice bloke. Cheers
  18. Hi folks anyone got a postcode for the venue? Hope there is a good turn out. Two teams down from the skye club,
  19. Hi 360 ml each leg check out beta-uk .com previous models cheers
  20. Hello folks I have recently bought a rear wheel for my beta,it`s a techno and was hoping that I could get a talon adaptor kit so that it would also fit a rev 3 but I`m not having any luck in finding where to buy one, as talon do not do trials hubs any longer. Hoping that some of you folks might be able to point me in the right direction, or have spacers/parts that you might want to sell. cheers ps it`s a did rim but the chap that i bought it of said it was a talon hub.

  23. Hi guys just been looking at the top trials web site and the home page looks to have James Dabill on an 04 beta, don`t know if I`am seeing things but it looks to have a right hand kickstart and gearshifter and left hand chain/sprockets and exhaust. i`m sure one of you guys out there will know the answer, www.toptrialteam.it cheers
  24. sparkalounger I don`t think you can expect the wheel to spin freely with the chain on and adjusted if you consider that without the chain on you are only spinning the wheel and with the chain on you are spinning the wheel, chain and shaft in the gearbox along with the friction within the chain tensioner and gearbox. I may be wrong but I would think that eveything is ok if I am wrong then i have the same problem!! Cheers Whiz
