Hard to see as photos are a bit dark... but you'll have to remove the snail cam from between hub and frame, and then probably find a way to stop the axle bolt washer bottoming out on the axle. M10 washers should do it. Wheel will hold in place OK without a snail cam on that side.

Yeah I also find bare legs compared with 'tights' makes a huge difference. Definitely proper wool socks, and shoes that give you enough space for toes to wiggle a bit. Everyone's circulation is different though, keep adding more layers from the waist down til you're more comfortable!

Agreed. I don't see this going away any time soon. Something related which is interesting, my partner's mum bumped into an old friend at the weekend, who has recently returned from living and working in Wuhan. She and others were gifted a 'support package' by the Chinese government in September last year, including food and money. And you have to consider how far 'down the line' an elderly woman sits in such society. So it seems fairly clear China are covering up, and it took serious lockdown to finally nip it in the bud almost 6 months down the line. Almost certain now that what Jane and I had over Xmas was some form of this virus, neither of us have ever been so ill before. I ended up at the docs for some antibiotics, my whole medical records were 4 lines long! He reckoned sinusitis which led to mild pneumonia - I would put good money on if I had the same now, it would be diagnosed as Covid-19.

The Monty hub is the non standard bit. Post up some pics and we can offer some solutions

There was never a time limit put on... just Michael Gove suggested an hour of walking might be about right for a person of average fitness. And the 'once a day' thing was (I say was because that has now been lifted) completely unenforceable from a human rights point of view. This government are being very clever at trying to control and manipulate us, and not let common sense prevail! I'm very disappointed it seems to be working.

Not a jot. Long live lockdown!

Bike Selection (Czar Neuron / Inspired Flow)
AdamR28 replied to TomWood's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
The best bikes always are in the highest demand.... We have a small quantity of Flow Plus arriving within the next week or two. -
Ace! Keen to experience this in real life when tracks are open again
-
There isn't much difference, 10mm or so as you say, and newer generally less offset.
-
We (TartyBikes) list everything that is relevant. Seat angles etc are kinda pointless because you don't sit down
-
Which old parts do the dinosaurs on here think of as 'new'?
AdamR28 replied to aener's topic in Trials Chat
The colour, obviously! Oh and the 2.5 was pretty big and very light. I liked those tyres. -
Try Roy at Bike-It in Scarborough.
-
That was cool. Thanks for posting!
-
Which version of the Justice?
-
I'm weird I guess, but I think stationary looks better. And it's lighter than a rotating wheel
-
The fact that water made the brake work again, yet it went crap after drying back up, also points to contamination unfortunately. New pads and rotor is the only 100% proper fix from here. If you do go that route, would recommend Hope Trial Zone V2 rotor and either Jitsie or Trialtech pads.
-
What have you been 'cleaning' with? Most brake cleaners totally ruin trials brakes sadly, they don't get hot enough to burn off the residues left behind.
-
I wouldn't say those two things are really linked, no.
-
Seriously cool!
-
Yeah, first two rounds cancelled at the moment... Sounds good, no bother about being unfit, it's just a laugh
-
I have some bearings kicking about, give us a call or email at Tarty next week and we can sort something out
-
Yep, smack one end of the axle with a mallet (not hammer).

Tips for static wheel swap(?)/transfer(?) ?
AdamR28 replied to marg26's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
Front brake on, back brake off. Push down on the front pedal to 1) jump up and 2) propel forwards. You'll feel the forks flex and the drivetrain load up - use this like elastic to help. Each of those three variations will need a different body position, but weight starts further forward than you'd think, it's an explosive move rather than one that uses body momentum. -
Probably not even the chancellor yet Nah, sounds like it will be based on your 'bottom line' - the total net income, you incomings minus all the outgoings. I too think there will be a few naughty people caught out by this, not declaring cash jobs, putting through loads of expenses etc to keep their tax bill down. It's a welcome intervention, but end of June is estimated date for payments... I wonder how many will go under. I think the above will also inadvertedly (or perhaps deliberately) 'catch out' company directors who pay themselves a low salary but top up wages with dividends (the company has already paid corporation tax at 19% on the dividends, and then those dividends have additional tax on them too, so it's not exactly a tax fiddle), me included within this. It's an uncertain time for all in business, and with all the other shit going on in my life, pretty much the only thing stopping me jumping off a bridge right now is my bike and the fact that I'm extremely lucky to live in a spot where I can get out on the moors without needing to take the car.
