All 2st Please post pictures of your 2 stroke bikes.

just finished a basket case TXC 310 for my buddy (posting that build over in the 4t soon...). we were out behind the shop on my test track. double step-up hill. crested first hump- didnt see this MASSIVE century plant waiting to harpoon me. it did. between the shroud and radiator, wrapped around the tank and HELLO nothing got damaged. the louver got popped out of two holes, but snapped back in...finally found something that will stop the mighty 3hondo. buying a lottery ticket today.

Lucky you didnt end up with one of those fancy gentleman sausage peircings!

New to me 2010 CR 125 with 144 kit waiting for spring!!!

Waiting!?! That sucks just get on her.

OY pippers!...hows it mate??

Its good, going tubliss repaired bust clutch cable and on the hunt for plastics an a rad i smashed bike nicly on a half mile rockgarden.
Was awesome!
How come your not riding?

HAHAHAH yeah, was waiting for a bloody oring for the top cover of carb...arrived today...have "Parental" committments this weekend but YAMAN....Will certainly head out to go for a rip following weekend snow or NO snow...it's happening

at lest your radiator didnt have a near miss with sir lance a lot....as well as yer tenders! we go for short spurts now and again after work behind the shop on the moto-a-gogo natural track here. was going to ride today but...the 3hondo also exploded the rear tube yesterday...crazy day it was...i think i used all my luck for this week! giggity goo!

oy- pippers, btw....here's a shot of my restroom @ my shop...gear is always at the ready...5 mins, on the bike...voom! love living in the mountains...havent trucked my bike anywhere in 3 years now....and after the ride? the trail literally ends at the pub, burgers n beers....wish you were hear mate! braaap!

That's called a Prince Albert eh juicy?!

Yup an albert shawry,
Pv i miss directed on not riding comment, that was for ripnride.
put it in my relpy to you for some reason i blame the beer.
Man living in that proximity to riding ground and food after has got to be awesome!
Seriously jealous, the mountains here are like pebbles compared to everyone elses.
You going tubliss on 300? Hear its the way to go over mousses.

no worries mate...

tubliss- reserving comment for later.

mousses are great.
i've found the next best solution is running standard butyl tubes, pulling the valve core, dumping in some STAN'S mountain bike tire sealant. then re-install the core and inflate as usual. retains that normal tire feeling. you can destroy cactus and not get flats.

Yeah thank god im nowhere near violent cacti
Mousses arnt legal to use on the road here so that narrows it down to tubes or tubliss, trelleborg make a kit called t lock but you have to puncture the tyre to inflate and deflate the tyre...no thanks.

As for tubes the tyre im running at the moment is lowprofile i ruined a tube installing it thought "take it to shop" they burst a new tube installing it too, so im gunna save £24 on a heavy duty tube everytime and try tubliss.
Fingers crossed it pays for itself.

for Tubliss Save a kilo too. Get a 4 PR tire and don't look back

You mean 4 ply rated?? I had to google i found this added bike to keep on topic

thanks www.tebaldigraficos.com.br

Yeah, P.R. rating isn't as common now I guess on bike tires. Now we have speed index and load rating, so Sedona 880 (which is 4 P.R.) has 54M rating. Shinko 520 is 68M rated! 54M=212k/467lb 130k/81mph, 68M=315k/694lb 130k/81mph With such a high load rating Shinko 520 would probably be 6 P.R. I just noticed the Maxxis M6001 which is 6 P.R. and some Kenda and IRC tires at least still have P.R. rating, for what it's worth.
Sorry for the OT

yup- ply's are "subjective to the brand"...

take a small fishy scale to the tire shop...then you'll see. also- the cordage density in the belt differs as well. mish-mosh. use yer lid, pick one that suits yer terrain, use yer thumbs too. *poke-n-press*

tubliss- still a tube, a VERY high pressure one at that. we have frozen sticks that will go right through them up here, or, just a little down south, cacti thorns that penetrate same and knee cups, hand guards, you name it.

mousses are best. handle a little odd. hard to work with at times.

i prefer the method i mentioned earlier. old school was a super HD tube slit down the ID, removed valve, then nested another tube in that for extra protection. that with some SLIME pumped into the tube = blasting though everything.

found out what happened to mine....stem area where it's glued on had a small crack. weird too. but, air goes out as fast as it comes in...blorp.

and speaking of bike pics......look what just came in, from client i did the 310 job on...restored by owner and at another shop bout a hundred miles away...came up here to the mountain for final punch card and starting/jetting...found a few issues so it's back on the stand for a tear-down...bike porn...

Well as stated we dont have flora that really wants to ruin your day/ride also ive chosen tubliss set up because im short and myself and tyre shop punctured a tube each getting the sucker on the rim.
Fingers crossed the bicycle tyre n choob solve this issue.

Back together, ready to go.
