@@TheRazvancristian Hmm.. like it's skipping under pedal pressure? If that's the case, your old chain might have been worn too much and it wore the smallest sprocket down.. so now the new chain, which has a smaller gap between pins than the older chain (which was stretched) no longer fits on the worn sprocket teeth.

Been awhile, rode Trek mountain bike's, always had tubes. Unless you can guarantee I'll never get a flat, I'd stick with old school tubes. btw, got me think'in, the Tour de France, when they get a flat, who fixes it? ...or do they trade out bikes and go.
@pegmonkey7 ай бұрын
I hear you. I prefer tubes most of the time. I got two flats on a ride on the canyon the other weekend, decided to go tubeless for a bit and see how it does. On the front tire, I've got 12 thorn holes and it's still holding air. So far so good. Thing I really don't like about tubeless is burbing out air around the bead in rock gardens. My Beta doesn't suffer the same problem since it uses a tubliss inner tube as a rim lock.. wish mountain bikes had a similar setup. I think in the Tour de France, the team carries whole wheels and just swap a new wheel in. But, I've seen catastrophic bead leaks that cause crashes.. The exprimenting continues!

@@pegmonkey is there a upgraded set of bearings I can get so I don’t need to keep doing this? Or do they just always fail?
@pegmonkey Жыл бұрын
@@enginepowered3353 That's a good question. I just used stock spec bearings. NTN brand if I recall. The last time they went, Beta sent a new crank. I had already replaced everything else including the cases. The last repair has lasted the longest. I measured the old crank and the new. The new crank had slightly smaller journals on the crank. Just a couple of thousandths smaller. But, this last repair has lasted the longest. I also went from running 50:1 oil to 30:1 oil thinking more oil might help them last. I've since cut that back to 40:1.. I also now let the bike idle for 20 minutes after it's been wet, stream crossing or washing. The thinking is maybe moisture had been corroding the bearings. Beta isn't sure what's causing the failures. At least, they've never been able to tell me the cause. I don't think it's a bearing quality issue though. My previous failures had been 60 to 80 hours apart. This last repair has lasted 120 hours so far. The bike has 320 hours on it now. My personal thought is it's a moisture issue. The bearings rust and destroy themselves. Beta trials bikes had a similar problem a long time ago and went weth dual sealed grease packed bearings to remedy the problem. I'm hopeful warming up the bike after every wash will solve it. I honestly don't see how there's been anything wrong with any of the cases or bearings previously. All the measurements have been spot on. I used nitrous oxide to cool the bearings so they just dropped right in. Very careful on assembly.
@grant31781 Жыл бұрын
Wow I was thinking about getting a 2018 xtrainer that is tagged. Not so sure I want to go with a Beta 2 stroke. Those bearings should last hundreds of hours. Did you get a fix for it? I read somewhere there was a different bearing that will fit.
@pegmonkey Жыл бұрын
The last fix beta provided was a new crank. So far, that seems to have done the trick. I measured the crank journals, the new ones were a couple thousands smaller diameter. I'm guessing the extra "slop" was enough to keep the bearings from binding.

That was a lot of the single track sections all edited together. There were people that did the entire course on big vtwin adventure bikes. It's doable, but some of the rock gardens beat up their skid plates and frames pretty good. I think a 701 would have no problem though. Might even be smoother than doing it on a 250 2t. The biggest bike I did it on was an 07 WR450 and it was pretty plush. The way they had it laid out last year, they had bypasses for the harder sections, so you could opt out if you got in too deep.

@@enginepowered3353 You're welcome! The third time my bearings went, the bike had like 230 hours on it. But I'm the original owner. It might still be worth a try contacting Beta.
@@pegmonkey is there a upgraded set of bearings I can get so I don’t need to keep doing this? Or do they just always fail?
@@enginepowered3353 That's a good question. I just used stock spec bearings. NTN brand if I recall. The last time they went, Beta sent a new crank. I had already replaced everything else including the cases. The last repair has lasted the longest. I measured the old crank and the new. The new crank had slightly smaller journals on the crank. Just a couple of thousandths smaller. But, this last repair has lasted the longest. I also went from running 50:1 oil to 30:1 oil thinking more oil might help them last. I've since cut that back to 40:1.. I also now let the bike idle for 20 minutes after it's been wet, stream crossing or washing. The thinking is maybe moisture had been corroding the bearings. Beta isn't sure what's causing the failures. At least, they've never been able to tell me the cause. I don't think it's a bearing quality issue though. My previous failures had been 60 to 80 hours apart. This last repair has lasted 120 hours so far. The bike has 320 hours on it now. My personal thought is it's a moisture issue. The bearings rust and destroy themselves. Beta trials bikes had a similar problem a long time ago and went weth dual sealed grease packed bearings to remedy the problem. I'm hopeful warming up the bike after every wash will solve it. I honestly don't see how there's been anything wrong with any of the cases or bearings previously. All the measurements have been spot on. I used nitrous oxide to cool the bearings so they just dropped right in. Very careful on assembly.
Wow I was thinking about getting a 2018 xtrainer that is tagged. Not so sure I want to go with a Beta 2 stroke. Those bearings should last hundreds of hours. Did you get a fix for it? I read somewhere there was a different bearing that will fit.
The last fix beta provided was a new crank. So far, that seems to have done the trick. I measured the crank journals, the new ones were a couple thousands smaller diameter. I'm guessing the extra "slop" was enough to keep the bearings from binding.
First view
Such cool terrain. Those spines and valleys look like loads of fun!! Would be great if the whole area was like that. Enjoyed the video!
Thanks! There's some more of the spines and ridges out there. I'll make a longer video next time I'm out and ride all the spines. One day, I got stuck in a valley and the only way out was up steep hills. Took me an hour to drag the bike out of there. lol.
@@pegmonkey yeah I’d love to see more of that area!
Bummer
Seriously...
This happened to my sons 250rr 2017, the oil pump failed. This caused the big end to destroy itself. Last ride 20hours after the rebuild, it’s making noises again. My new x-trainer stripped all it’s teeth off the flywheel and busted the starter bendix in half.! Beta did fix it under warranty. I sold it at a $1500 loss. Back on a WR250f 2020 . Reliability never gets old.
Hi bud, I've got a 2018 300 rr with 68 hours , same problem , I've been given a estimate of $1300 for full rebuild , just wondering if you have fixed it , has it happened again ?, did they work out what caused it?
How is the arrowing? Looks a little poor.
It was a little confusing in spots. I definitely got lost a few times.
Very cool! Rush is the dude. Thinking doing it this year on my 701. There are different sections yeah? What level of difficulty was this one? Think a bigger bike would be comfortable on it?
That was a lot of the single track sections all edited together. There were people that did the entire course on big vtwin adventure bikes. It's doable, but some of the rock gardens beat up their skid plates and frames pretty good. I think a 701 would have no problem though. Might even be smoother than doing it on a 250 2t. The biggest bike I did it on was an 07 WR450 and it was pretty plush. The way they had it laid out last year, they had bypasses for the harder sections, so you could opt out if you got in too deep.
David, Great Video, Thinking about doing it this year . How many miles total & how many single track would you say?
Thanks! There were 70ish miles in the morning and 40ish in the afternoon. I'd say about 25% was single track, another 25% was two track. The rest was mostly gravel. So many rock gardens. :) I highly recommend it.
@@pegmonkey Awesome Thanks now just have to hope I can get a spot with the limited entry's.
@@joejohnston471 Did you get in? I decided to not try for a ticket this year to give people a chance who hadn't done it before. I got to ride it twice last year since I helped layout the course. :)
@@pegmonkey Yeah but a bunch of guy's in our group didn't:( hopefully they can get in Sat. or get a transfer later couldn't believe how fast it sold out.
@@joejohnston471 Darn. Yeah, I figured it would sell out quick. Hope your friends snag tickets!
Great video! What bike are you on?
Thanks! I'm on a 2018 Beta 250rr.
Ready to do it again in a month? :) Hope I can get off work to make it.
Yeah man! I'm gonna try and make it.
Good place to practice. I need to find more stuff like this to build skills. Planning on doing thre SXCS Hangover race again this year? Hopefully a bit less muddy. :)
I just had a month of my bike being down. Main bearing went bad again. I think it was my fault this time. lol. Wrong clearance on the bearing. I hope it's super muddy!! I seem to do better in the mud! :)
@@pegmonkey Sorry to hear about your woes. If I can make it I'll try to catch up with you.
Is this up 7 mountains by track and trail?
Yeah! Track and Trail the motorcycle shop.
Yea I bought two bikes from there recently and they told me about the trails up there.... looks absolutely awesome
Cool. It's pretty sweet. Some nice tight single track, lot of big loose rocks. Some faster two track. No real steep hills, but some decent faster hill climbs with a lot of switch backs. Great mix. Plus.. one of the few place in PA that allows bikes. Worth a visit.

You made it the whole way up, looks like a great first attempt to me.
Good video. Rush @ 15:26 "We have to get around this guy." Rush @15:51 Falls. Falls again almost hitting the other rider @ 53:27. Ummm rules? *Don't pass where it's not safe. *Don't cut new paths. But who cares right? Big Adventure bikes there over the weekend doing all the options too. Pass one at 18:10. We were there all day. Awesome time!
