sawtooth Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Having a bit trouble with the front wheel locking up due to leaves and mud collecting under the front mudguard, anyone know of any risers available to increase the clearence a little? The bike is a 2003 so the mudguard setup is as below... click to enlarge image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richt Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 There was someone selling a kit comprising 4 spacers and 4 longer bolts. The easiest way to do it make some spacers or stack washers till they are about 8 to10mm thick and some longer bolts, should cost less than a Quid!

gaffamont Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Hi Sawtooth, i had a 2002 Beta Rev3 which came with add-in brackets that fitted between the lugs on the forks and the mudguards brace mounting brackets. Pesonally, i would have a chat with Lampkins on (01535) 655970, and also i am sure early Montesa 315's 1997-99 had the same Paioli forks, give Sandifords a shout on (01282) 428383. Regards GaffaMont.

mudhugger Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) You may be able to use the ones available for the Beta Alp (200), i had some on mine - i think they were the same forks - i dont have the bike anymore to check, less than Edited December 28, 2009 by mudhugger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcharchuk Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I just used longer bolts and added an extra nut as a spacer, works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaffamont Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Hi mcharchuk, the problem that Sawtooth has is that the bracket bolts do-up towards the wheel rim, rather than downwards towards the spindle, as all Rev3's from 2004 onwards. But there is a kit available that lifts the front mudguard via a couple of extra brackets, as is also suggested by Mudhugger. GaffaMont.

pa. Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Beta part number 20-02522 Kit Fender Spacer. These are supplied with the bikes when delivered from the factory. Like the headlights these disappear as the bikes change hands. Give Lampkins or BVM a call unless someone has a spare set to give you. I do but postage may be a killer. Full parts diagram here.
