AW, shoot. Dunlop still makes a nice 21 incher, but as you say, ebay. Sad to recall a very good one was auctioned a few months back and I let it slip away....
This series has been pure vicarious pleasure. You're brave starting from scratch and obviously have the skills to stay out of trouble.
Would that be a 21 inch front wheel? I'm knocking myself out looking for a 3.25x19 Trials Universal and getting nowhere. Any ideas would be deeply appreciated.
@thepretendme ...thanks for watching! Although the Geoff Chandler trials bike that mine is based on uses a 21in front, I am using a 20in on a dunlop alloy rim...mainly because I have a nice set.
As far as your tire search, that is a tough one. I would keep an eye on ebay as they seem to be mostly discontinued. I am lucky to already have my trials tires!
Hi Aseth, thanks for watching, but I disagree. The fork stops consist of the lower tree pinch bolt and threaded sleeve, which will be installed later. You may be referring to cast ears on the lower tree that are used on other models. These ears are shown in the parts manual, as well as the threaded sleeves. This is likely an error on the drawing as both cannot be used and every example I've had an opportunity to look at supports this....continued below...
I'd love to see this energetic young filmmaker get his own show on the "Discovery Channel". His innovative camera work and charming narrative keep me captivated every episode.
Good job man. Great vids for home user also.

I hate to tell you but those arn't the right trees either . The right trees have fork stops on them and yours don't.
