Impossible Hillclimb on a Vintage Ossa!

[@Deano_77]

For me its the best bike channel on KZbin by far. Your vids have a real feel good feel to them that really portrays the fun of messing about on bikes.

[@wheelhousegarage]

I'm honored! That makes me feel really great. Thank you

Don't forget to drop your rear tyre pressure when you need all the grip you can get!

[@wheelhousegarage]

Yes sir!

[@The-Rickster-29]

I just discovered your channel. I enjoy your knowledge and enthusiasm about classic bikes. I am seeing many here for the first time. Keep up the good work and I am going to subscribe!

Dude that trail is gnarly! The lack of run up is a joy suk. Great job getting to the top! I don't have much interest in the extreme designs of modern trials, but vintage has always appealed to me as even a general runabout. The collection is already too big, but the wheels are turning...

[@wheelhousegarage]

Haha, thanks James. The trials bike are small - you can fit one or two! 😁

[@nearpath8785]

From someone who also has an ossa (250 pioneer), torque is almost never an issue, its the brakes that require some finesse

[@savage22bolt32]

You inspire me to fix my leaking fiberglass tank & get the old Plonker out.

[@jamiefly]

You need rim lock and drop the pressure down to 3(f) & 5(r) psi and you'll sail up and down that section... Also I find that for comps or vtricky sections you need tyres with less than 50hrs... Great videos... Keep chugging the beers

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thanks for the tips and for watching the vids!

[@gottanikoncamera]

The reason you’re having trouble cleaning those sections on that trials bike is you’re wearing a helmet. You should instead be wearing a woolen Scottish cap as Mick did. 😊

[@wheelhousegarage]

Haha! I think you’re exactly right!

[@pauldeane9849]

Talk about manicuring a section ! No run up is tough, not building momentum and getting those heavy flywheels to get you over the hard bits. But, it was only hard bits !

[@wheelhousegarage]

Haha yes!

[@technomickdocumentalist2495]

Cool vid again matey. Nice Ossa too !❤🎉

[@wheelhousegarage]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@writehandman2833]

If she has rim locks (i'd recommend 2 on the back) drop that tire down to 5-7 lbs. of air. I ran my old '75 KT250 like that and she was a goat on rocks!

[@wheelhousegarage]

👌

[@michaelglynn2638]

Conquered! By hook or crook. Interesting going back down no doubt 👍

[@wheelhousegarage]

Yes sir! Lot of sliding😁

[@davidarmstrong6716]

When are you going to ride a trials event? Most clubs have a beginner line.

[@wheelhousegarage]

I did one back in February in Valley Springs CA with PITS. It was so fun!

[@othgmark1]

Another nice video, looks like Wheeler Rancho is getting better all the time. I am glad you are out riding that Ossa not putting it on a shelf. Are you using old school trials tires or the newer ultra sticky type?

[@wheelhousegarage]

Thanks Mark! This bike would definitely benefit from a more modern trials tire!

[@michaeldavison430]

Gotta love trials bikes, new or vintage!

[@wheelhousegarage]

It's so fun!

[@donnanderson42]

Don’t remove the rock that’s where the traction is. I would like to do that on my KTM 250XC-W and upload video on my channel. Riding with Bill.👍

[@melvinjones3895]

Good job I had a 1973 Kawasaki that would have made it up there it had low end grunt . even at 6000 ft. in California along rt.80

[@wheelhousegarage]

nice

[@kloss213]

Consider a Rokon.

[@wheelhousegarage]

I've heard that twice now🤔

[@kingdavidcoffee]

Get a Rokon.

[@wheelhousegarage]

LOL always wanted to try one
