Trials Australia Forums

Cameron - Well thanks for that, it was a very nice gesture... Ha, yeah it was us 2 and Paul Walsh I think that were tied on the first lap and you were definitely in contention for the win, so it took some pressure off me having you gone! Oh well if you have it all fixed for the trial on the 9th November we'll have to give it another go!

Trango - I'm running 6 psi in the front and 4 psi in the back... I often look at them and think the same thing sometimes, but then I check the pressures and they're at that.. Maybe I need to let them down more because my fine physique doesn't put much weight on them! ha.

Hey Cameron,
I discovered that a big stick thru the spokes works as well as anything on your nearest compeditor! That should even things up between you and Motostar........

Your weight does affect the pressure you need to use. Have a look at the tyres in the photos of the Willcocks boys and compare them to your photo. Try 5 front & 3 rear and see if you notice a difference in the grip you get.

You sure that was Wales Heath? Looks very much like our local playground in Auckland.

I found some more photos the other day..while looking for something else.............. Um..........needless to say that me and tidy are not two words that are found very often in the same sentence

Also a big thank you to Gasman for inadvertantly revitalizing this topic. I thought it might have gone off the boil!

yeah im also glad this thread was revived! It seems to be the one that keeps all of us with nothing to do (or procrastinating from work) interested!

gasgasman - like your sig

About time to give this topic another boot....This ones from th 02 Aussie Champs and I have not the foggiest who the rider is. Anybody out there got any ideas?
Woo Hoo! And less than a week to Aussie Champs at Bendigo where I'll be able to get some up to date pics!

yay for a thread reviver!

I might get out for a ride with Peter this weekend so i'll see if i can get some good pics together!

Gees Nic,

If it's good pics you want you'll be taking self portraits.

But I suppose i'm good for showing how not to do it.

With this wind about tonight there might be some trees to clean up
