section swept Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 The usual suspects....levers, chain link, gear lever, twist grip....you never know. Pretty much the same as for any trials machine. It’ll always be the bit you haven’t got in the van that lets you down....how about another complete bike...just like the works boys do. Master cylinder and slave complete or repair kits. The list could be endless, depends on your level of commitment in the sections and how much you don’t mind bending your bike to compete. Apart from oils and fluids maybe a sensor or two and some ready made up bridge by-pass wire links...one taped to the bike ready just in case you are too far away from the van. Seems to me that the more you take the less you use, then there are those competitors that have everything including the kitchen sink but never use a single spare... not even air in the tyres...very annoying. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking with reading some of the posts on vertigos seems to be alot of sensors and little bits that fail due to wet conditions was wondering what the common parts are that fail thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
