Title: Wassell Trials Bike
Post by: Mike Bower on November 18, 2011, 07:39:08 PM
I'm starting back with the assembly of my Wassell Trials bike after frame painting. Luckily I finally found the head and other parts (coil, bolts, etc.) in my attic! It's kind of like a archeology dig in my own garage/ attic. It's been over 15 years since I took the "Mud Lark" apart. The POG community  has really motivated me on this project. Anyway, I got the triple-tree/ Stem back on. (After having to buy a new headstock bearing. In the disassembly, I lost ONE roller out of the cage.) At this point, I've got the the fork tubes drained and the springs out. Mike G. says Gordon B. is the man when it comes to the infamous Metal Profile forks. I weigh around 200 lbs. I'm looking advice on oil type/ visc.  volume and springs. I found the Greeve's website for the MP forks. (Way cool new Greeves trials bike also.) Any advise is appreciated.
