What did you do with your Trials Bike today? - Page 65

r2wtrials · 05-22-2012, 02:46 PM

After my knee injury it became plain that i wasn't going to ride the type of stuff i wanted too anymore so i have turned back the clock 30 years or so to when i was 16 years old and had a 320 SWM ...

It is nearly rideable, just a bit of tinkering to do.. here it is, the one on the right, with my mate's 320 Jumbo. Using my car as a side stand!!

Nice lookin` bike. I only rode one event on one. A friend was trying to get me to ride again. It worked!

I had to turn the sound down. Looks like a nice trail for my 450 EXC.

I discovered my Isis chain with only 40 hours since new was broken. Reading online I see that these are not highly regarded by others.

I bought a new cheap chain while I hunt for a long term replacement. My local dealer caters more to big enduro bikes.

I'm leaning toward the narrow DID xring chain for the Montesa. Thoughts?

There is no real need for o-ring chains on trials bikes. Get a heavy duty RK and your problems will be over. IRIS chains are pretty much the cheapest ones available, and thats the reason they seem to get fitted as OE on some makes of bike.............

Got some pretty good trials practice in yesterday. We have a two day event at Sipapu coming up this weekend, so I needed it.

The Cholla are just blooming and loaded with buds. They should be spectacular in about a week.

GeeGee is improving by leaps and bounds.

He is riding Master Class now. In our club, that is one down from Champ.

Here he is doing a splatter.

Seems like not a huge deal (from this angle), we see guys doing that all the time.............until you see his target to hit and land on.
