See, I've done some fairly involved stuff to engines but never a gearbox, I'd be too scared! Haha. You'll be absolutely fine

Engines are no more difficult than any other part of the car, especially lovely old mechanical engines just the consequences can be more dire if it goes wrong, haha. Confidence!

The dipstick down no1 cylinder is good enough usually And yes, 3 teeth out is a lot! One tooth is enough to make it run a bit shit. You've got the skills to do it, start from scratch and double check everything as you go, you'd get it bob on in no time.

Awesome riding.

Music swap fail I'll try and have a look later...

There is no 'right' really, it's a personal thing - 175s for me.

*Hugs* Seriously though, ditto that!

I hoped it was obvious - it's like getting in a brand new car and red-lining it - our site is already too bloated, but it's being added in now

Nice one! Thanks dude. Was great to see so many people getting stuck in despite the rain on Saturday

Thanks for the comments guys - sounds like you all had fun too, great stuff No time to reply in full now, but here's a video Craig at Trials King has put together from the Sunday: http://trials-king.com/media-gallery/227-tarty-days-2013

Ah it's not a competition chaps, and it turned out they were pretty different in the end anyway. Radfest seems to be a really 'raw' weekend of riding, away with your mates, getting lashed and having a big one, whereas Tarty Days ended up pretty family orientated thing with mini events to keep spectators / mums & dads interested too. I'm confident there's room and demand for both types of event so we don't need to compete with each other Lukas came over to help this weekend actually, I need to get myself to Dressler Camp next year, looks so awesome!

Cheers dude, makes sense! I guess we did leave it fairly late but I needed to have my arm twisted by Stan to run it at all, haha. We also didn't want to release too much info before Radfest to make sure the two events weren't too similar - its great to have a choice for riders but we didn't want to do the same thing again only a month later. If there is a 2014 we'll make sure there's plenty of advance warning

As above - steel on the drive side and alloy on the non drive side is the winning combination

The generosity and helpfulness of the trials community really shone through this weekend - this makes me happy.

Just a little bump for anyone who would like to offer any feedback about the weekend, both your experiences or suggestions about how to improve. We had an awesome time and it wouldn't have been that way without you guys - thank you so much for coming and getting stuck in despite Saturday's stupid weather! Mark's hoping to get the video done within the next week or so, so keep an eye out for that Thanks once again to every single person who was a part of the event!

Pedals tight in cranks?

Looking forward to Saturday night now

Sounds familiar... on the right as I went past heading North?

Haha, I'll try and spot you Nick! No way Tic - I did see some sort of bike trail on the way out, small world Race 2 for anyone interested... it's a bit more hectic than Race 1: Start - got away ok, then lost the back end through Goodwood (1:00), but managed to bring the gap back down at Church (1:20) 1:40 - sent it up the middle of a pack of cars and squeezed ahead at the chicane 5:30 - caught Jeremy up 5:50 - up the inside at Goodwood 6:25 - comes back past up to the chicane, Amy right on my tail again now, for quite a long time... 7:50 - hit the limiter through Church, huge sideways pant-filling moment - scariest moment I've ever had on track! 8:15 - Amy has a look up the inside but just keep her back 10:20 - Jonathan spun at the complex, managed to get past safely 11:10 - sideways at Church again 11:20 - tried to work a pass on Jeremy but stuffed it up, ran wide, let Amy back through 11:45 - was pretty sure I left Matt plenty of room there...... 12:05 - wrong gear selection cost me a big gap to Amy! 12:45 - lined up a pass by carrying speed through Church, but it wasn't to be... 13:05 - tried around the outside again but no joy 14:10 - carried speed through Goodwood and made a pass up the inside at Church 14:40 - Simon comes steaming through 16:15 - sent it up the inside from way back 16:35 - but to no avail 19:15 - sideways through Church again 19:45 - grabbed 5th instead of 3rd, arse! 21:30 - crossed the line, still very close to all the other cars
