Orange= Over Rated And Not Good Enough. You have put some good parts on but really a waste of time

Skintlsad is ovi on some medication that makes him go phyco or something oranges rule and look sweet !!!!!!

There you go bike now listed feel free to slate and retaliate as much as you like. And JFI I used to race 4x and xc to a standard of having a few sponsors so know I dont about bikes. I just rode them =)

I am still waiting for my rocky mountain slayer to be approved.. sorry. and er yes he can be wrong coz has he every one a world championship on one.. erm no fact!!!!
thomasali replied... on 8 September 2008
What fantastic bike have you got? I don't think just about every reviewer + me can be wrong matey, also I dont think you have ridden an Orange or many bikes for that matter. Oh and Steve Peat thought they were alright too.

better than the kona. but cut down that steerer tube unless you like giving deep throat to your stem..lol not to sure about the rear shock Either.. all that money spent and you put that on.(unless it came with it)
thomasali replied... on 8 September 2008
Tis' a good rear shock mate, I dont fit things on my bike without serious consideration.

lush colour. agree with first comment about the chain guide, its got to come off, if it dont your not you must not be riding over really rough terrain. also if you have some really firm spring in your rear mech, does that not make your gear shifting really hard at the lever? it also looks a little strange with a single crank and no guide. like somethings missing.
thomasali replied... on 8 September 2008
yeah is does look a bit weird without a chain guide, my old one is iscg so I dont think I can fit it.... on my old big hit the chain would try and fly off all the time, but on the same terrain the Orange hasnt chucked it yet, I havent been anywhere super gnarly yet, when do I will probably fit a cg. You are right about the shifting it is a bit stiff compared to using a mtb rear mech, if I fitted a better shifter (new XT or XTR) it wouldnt be noticeable.

very nice, love the colour. chain guide though? your chain must come off non stop if you go near "off road" especially with a high single pivot
thomasali replied... on 2 September 2008
I had a chain guide on my big hit, cos of just what you described, but the chain doesnt seem to want to come off the Orange, I run the chain as short as I can, and the rear mech is super short with a more powerful spring than a crappy mtb one and that seems to help aswell.
