t-shock 250 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Make sure you beat him at the next trial. Trials is 90% rider input, 10% bike. He'll feel embarrassed & inadequate when he loses to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobtlr Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 hey, if you live in a hot area go for the michelin the irc is not good when its to hot, in cold and muddy conditions they are verry good, you propably win next time a 4stroke takes some time to get used to, i changed in september last year from cota 4rt to 3.2 sherco and it took my a few weeks to get used to the new bike. If 4stroke power is new it takes even longer (i never had that problem i never rode 2strokes) regards bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemech Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 live in southern england most trials in woods with big hills Then use second gear a lot and learn to apply power and grip using the clutch, reguardless of rpm! Those monts will spin out! Weight back on the up's and good clutch will buy you everything! FEEL for traction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobtlr Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 hey, wat level do you ride? top riders have problems with the irc (it is soft and the michelin hops a bit easier) mostly in the summer on my tlr its irc summer and winter, on the sherco i use michelin in the summer and irc in the winter. when temperature is above 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgas4life Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 If you live in the south i would recommend the IRC. Very good in the mud and just as good in the dry! but they are quite soft so they might wear out quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 My experience of the mitchies & IRC's are that a michelin wears well at expense of gri, ie harder compound. Dunlops(not used for a few years) grip well but wear quickly although still grip when worn so soft compound. IRC basically sit somewhere in the middle, wear better than dunlop & grip almost as well but grip better than michelin with wear not much behind Personally I use IRC year round with them appearing to be best compromise for me & would seem to be the preferred tyre over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
