ptbacf Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hello!! Im new to the forum, so this is my first post. Im just wondering if there a list or if anyone knows what parts from newer models fit on to the earlier models.e.g wheels, plastics,etc. plus things to lighten up the bike. Cant afford a new modern bike. I have a 2000 txt280. Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richt Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Not much is interchangable between the older TxT and the Pro models, there have been many changes. Regards plastics I think only the number board, front mudguard and disc guard, Wheels possibly though things like the bearings, spindles, sprockets, discs and calipers are different. Biggest weight saving could be a rear tyre 'Michelin X'lite' 0.5kg lighter. Sometimes a like for like donor bike is best way and build one bike with the best parts and get shut of the other!

ptbacf Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Thank you very much for the help. very much appreciated! Never thought about just building a bike up!! Hmmmm... Not done a trial yet, but im looking to see when the next beginner friendly Man17 is. So if you see a Mazada MX5 with a bike on the bk. thats me!!

ptbacf Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Is that every tuesday? Not sure if i can make it this tuesday, but probably next week. Where abouts do you go to play. if im free this weekend is there a possibility of me joining you and seeing how its done? At the moment i practice at a friends farm in higher poynton which has a grassed area and a little vally into a stream. So something different would be good.

Lowers the car even more tho..think some new suspension is on the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
