Trial Riding Thread - All Things Trials

I bet tubeless gives some awesume traction, so how much air pressure do you run, at the low pressures does the tire slip on the rim in use?

anything I know about trials moto's is from back in the day

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how low of tire pressure the trials tires can go. I started out with 7-8 and have been dropping it ever since. I think you can safely get into the 2 psi range. I'm still running around 4-5 psi.

The tire fits on the rim pretty snug and holds to with no issues. I had to break the bead on the one side of my tire and using a multitude of garage tools, I couldnt get it off. I ended up down at the tire shop and they used their bead breaker.

I stick the tire in my bench vise to break the bead. It also holds the tire while I get the wheel out.

To get the beading back together, I use 2 wide rachets, and a little bit of dish soap. Of course having a big compressor helps.

Warning!!!!!

If you use the method I have just described, make sure to wear safety glasses. Soap in the eyes is not a super good time.

Gents,

Britannia is another world. Wow big time vert and amazing views. We will see what the logging brings….or brings down

Here are a few pics from the day. I am sure some one can post them for me….
These are a few pics from the look out….

blue bird day!

britannia is a special place for sure. Too bad about the logging. It will never be the same.

Here is APT and Ando at catching some sun on a beautiful feb afternoon

Here is Ando riding the rock spine from his second shot

Here he is again. He was killing it on sunday. Definately did better than my first trip there.

There was too much riding to be done, so not many pictures got taken.

The so called "Killing it" is the result of good company ;)
Having you guys to ride with is what pushes the pack!
I would not ride half the stuff we did unless I saw it ridden first.
Other times it just feels like you have to man up as that is the only way the trail goes!

It was a good vibe riding with such a mixed crew on Sunday. From Spencer the ambassador of trials all the was to the trail dog!

It reminds me of the early hucking days of mtb…but now its not hucking its just ripping along

and no shuttling required :D

Here is a good recent video of the trails we hit in Britannia

There is a shot of Cory going up the ridiculous wall at 2.08
We rode up the other side…
thats where APT had a moment…and a few zap straps removed

great vid but all those go pros make steep stuff look so flat. same on sled or ski video

Sad I might not get a chance to ride Britannia before the trees come down. :(

Looks like it was a great day, though!

So sunday? Anyone? brap…put put

I'm up for a Sunday ride.

fyi there is a trial on tomorrow. Never seen one….would be cool to see a bit…but wanna ride up da steeps!

Brap

Where are you thinking? You can still ride even with the trials event going on
