Its that new I havnt had time to take any pics. Tuesday night this week I will let you know about tonight. Taking more stuff up for more sections. I am in leith working for the next three days if you need a lift. I will txt Rab today to see if he can make it! Tuesday night is on and Rab is coming out from Edinburgh if you want. Tuesday night is on.

Scottish Duke boyz will be coming along as well. No money for new Onzas!! Anybody point us somewhere to camp. (on site?) as we will be coming down Saturday. 210miles each way!

Hi Andrew, We have a barn out in East Lothian we are slowly setting up to ride in over the winter months, dry and lights. PM me your number.Rab comes out from Edinburgh to ride. There are around 10 (novice to inter level)of us riding out and around East Lothian most days. We were at Port Seton yesterday all afternoon riding on the rocks at the beach. Anybody is welcome just PM me. Hoping to do Tuesday night this week and set up more sections.

The brake has worked after its initial time to bed in. Then its just stopped doing its job. The disk, I clean with disk cleaner and clean paper toewels and have givin it a light sand. The frame has had the paint removed and the mounts faced to allow the caliper to sit square with the disk. If it doesnt bed in today then I will rebleed the whole sytem, put on a new disk and cook the old pads. Then it has to work!!! Did the Gary brake and clean with water and wipe the gunk of the disk. For now seems to be alot better. Thanks guys for the help.

Thanks for the help. We have been out all afternoon and it was getting worse and worse. Stripped it when we got home and noticed that the anodised screw in cap on the outside was moving when you applied the brake, then noticed this was weeping a little oil. tightend it up and cleaned the pads (emery paper) and cleaned the disk. lever is so so on the pull (not lock but not to squishy) It still doesnt lock the wheel. It did take a few rides to bed in when we first got it ( then it was perfect ) so I will let him ride it tommorrow and see if it settles. Need it fixed for British next weekend.

Fitted a rear Echo TR disk brake to my lads bike. It seems very hit or miss when the pads bite the disk. The pads polish up to smooth metalic sheen and then dont grip well. I have tried a new set of pads, but just the same result. Disk, as was supplied with the kit. The pads and disk a cleaned after each ride but still don't want to work well. Any advice would be great. Different manufacturer of pads? Thanks

just for the OCD among us.

Results and end of year champoinship. See you all next year. Me and the boyz are going to last round of British if anybody wants to come along. Going down on Saturday and camping in van near venue.

Wet and windy for the last one! It did dry up and the wind settled as the day went on. I will post up final standings asap and well done to the first ever Scottish champions. Primary: Simon Duke Novice: Aaron Duke Intermediate: Lewis Munro Expert: Ross McArthur. Thanks to all the observers and well done to the new riders that came along. Three laps of six sections, and although the layout of the sections was abit easier the mud and the weather still took a lot of marks. There was some great battles through out the day in each class. Thanks to Bob Macgregor trials park for allowing us to run the last event at short notice. It supplied the usual great sections and sevices all day. It is open all year and makes a great practice venue for those winter weekends with no comps. The heated buildings with hot water made a big difference through out the day. Thanks to Danny Mac for doing the awards and taking so much time with the younger riders, it made their day and a great end of year.

We are off to set up and have a play in the rain, might be sunny on the west coast!!!! I know some of you cant make this weekend so, thanks for your support of SBTC in its first year. Hope you enjoyed the ones you could attend and sorry for the few alterations along the way. Hopefully next year will be bigger and better and I know from the ems I am getting that we should have a few younger riders swelling the primary and novice class. I know some of the riders in these groups will be moving up and look forward to a bigger inter class next year. I have a better understanding of section layout and level now so it should be a easier year in the middle groups. Post up results when I get back and overall champ results. In the mean time any constructive ideas for next year would be most welcome. Web page for next year should be soon. Always on the lookout for new venues for next year to keep it fresh. So far: 1 Kinlochleven (Saturday), weekend of the world motorbike trial champs so you can go on the Sunday to it? Middle of the year so better weather. 2 Two at Bob Macgregors. 3 World Downhill weekend again if its on. (Saturday) 4 Provisional indoor/outdoor venue in Edinburgh? Thats 5 for now. Could do with venue around Stirling/ Perth area and down the Borders somewhere? Kevin

Unless you are Inter champ

said he would decide later in the week and you could get a lift from his if he was. I think AJ is wanting to ride. Better strenghten that wrist!! wheel is straight as it can be but has a lovely flat spot that is their to stay. Dont notice it when I am riding so nae problem big man.

I thought you were coming to the Bob Macgregor.

You fixed your bike then. Pup and lady wolf doing well? Did the WTFisGMAC phone? Wrist okay?

Thanks guys, see you all at weekend, be there around 1pm on sat to set up and stay over for bbq and beers.

Nobody coming to the last one then? Just one download and Johny and the team from Haddington.

Thanks to all officials and observers for a great trial. The boys really enjoyed it and we will be back down to the last round. Ben, hope its not to bad and you are up and on the go soon. Didnt see you as we just let the experts do their excellent job. Thanks to them all as well. Scottish team.

Hi Ross, Sorry I am working that weekend so cant bring the boyz across. Have a good one. Last comp on the 9th October just south west of Glasgow if you like. Might save Ross interfering with you!!

Entry form below. Hope to see all the riders we have had during the year to make the last event this year a good one.

Nearly own Scotland as well. Last comp off the year guys at the Bob Macgregor venue in North Ayrshire on the 9th October. Few weeks notice so hopefully you can get the day orf. check the comp section for details.

Hi Guys, Bob Macgregor it is then. (will try to get another couple of venues for next year, in talks with two at the moment) The venue has been booked today and I will get entry forms up tonight. I will ease up on Novice and inter sections this time and I have an idea for a good few new sections so they are not repeated. Championship trophies will be awarded after the event. Two classes have been won and two have still to be decided. I would like entries in before the event please as makes the morning a bit less hectic. As usual I will be there from Saturday mid morning to set up and stay over. All welcome? Kevin

Aaron and Simon entered as well from sunny Scotland, cant get anybody else to make the trip down so far. Ben I will put something on disk for you to have a look at for the clubs website if thats still okay.

Congrats. 66 hours! Good practice for the lack of sleep for the next few years. Hope every body is well. Onza have just released a new mini master as well!! B or a G pup?

Nope only British at Bracken rocks which we are going to. 9th is the last and only one left. Too much info on the abduction, but bet your still smiling.

So the report alien abduction is over. Where you been? The 9th October will be the last round this year.
