Where abouts are R-Tech? Is it Hinckley?
-
Yeah it is a bit shite. I just saw the first two cars and thought it was appropriate
Vids from the weekend... If you haven't got much time, the 2nd half of race 2 is the best stuff I think. I'll work out a 'highlights' list later...
Race 1: Cut short cos of a little dink...
Race 2: If there's not a lot happening out front, look at the rear view mirror instead!
I was there watching and you seemed to do a pretty good job
Any idea what happened to the bloke in the MK3 that caused the yellow flags at the esses in the first race? I saw his wheel flew across the track! Luckily he seemed fine.Also great overtake at 4 minutes after the yellow flag! Very sneaky!
Does anyone know how to test a potentiometer using a multimeter?
Completely new to this and presume mine is going as when I blip the throttle it doesn't react like the connection is dirty slash faulty.
Is it a case of using the multimeter on the ohms setting and should the value of resistance gradually decreases or increase as the accelerator is pressed? If so then that should be simple to see if it'd working right or not.
It's on a ford focus tdci too if anyone can confirm if ma theory is right. Cheers!!
Yeah basically a rotary potentiometer is just a variable resistor but called a fancy name!

Hi mate,
There is a reclamation yard near me that sells old telegraph poles and sleepers aswell as lots of other stuff that would probably be decent for a trials park.
Here is there website http://www.romseyreclamation.com/
Obviously you can't buy stuff from there but it might be useful for maybe looking at likely prices/budget if you are gonna buy the stuff???

Edited it just before you so....you loose
-
It says 16:12 so that I guess
Seems a bit odd??
-
That's an automotive tool, you should be able to find it in any store which deals with such tools. They're used for removing hubs and bearings.
Sorry
forgot to mention where you could get one, thanks Greetings

Would one of these work?
-
looks fantastic mate
-
Ugly...however it could maybe be a revelation with some refinement?
Do those bolts mean you would you be able to change take it apart? Replacing parts e.g. down tubes or bb shell would be much easier/cheaper than buying a new frame!

Imagine getting you shopping in this
Simply because there is nothing else on the planet like it!

Well, I think it kinda depends on the fork....mine as standard are 180mm mounts and yours are obviously 160mm. My bad
-
The +20 adaptor is to take the standard hope size which is 180mm (unless you get a 160mm caliper) up to 200mm. The one you have in the photo means you can run a 200mm disc instead of a 180.

Anyway you can do the tarty price match
-
I woudl say a 203mm up front would be a bit big, especially for a beginner bike with lots of nocks and bashes because you will spend your life straightening/buying disks.
However, personal preferance really I guess, I run a 180mm upfront on my mod and its more than sufficient
-
I think there death wish has been fulfilled in most of these clips!

You should definitely be able to get some for a decent price from a bearing shop and they will have endless different sizes. The bearings usually have the size printed on them so write it down and take it with you.
My Dad uses these people for motorbike bearings although they do allsorts; http://www.brt-bearings.com/1024x768/index.html in portsmouth however they have branches all over the country shown on the website.
Hope this is a bit helpful, Tom

Unlucky mate

Very useful for a comparisant of prices. My Dad got my mum a pretty good deal through this with Tesco.

Marin Trail is really good and has an entrance just down the road from Betws y Coed.
Found a video which shows bits of it..

I guess you just have to measure the distance like Tarty Adam said and if it is larger that 27mm (the biggest tarty sell) then snail cams are not an option and you will have to keep using chain tugs

Ahh no don't have a car yet
I only live just down the road and frequently see the R tech cars. Might pop in at some point...
