just thought i would let you know, for no particular reason.
my boss has one and i had to fix the ridiculous work halford did on it when changing the bb from my old trance x1 which he now owns onto his new orange.
its a very nice bike indeed and much better looking in the flesh than i had given them credit for.
just thought you should know how i feel, for no particular reason.

you have to do lots of work to earn some money, then get the train to Halifax so you can buy an Orange 5?0 -

I think the best quote comes from my dear old Mum when she clapped eyes on the 5 in my garden. She went: "Is that it? Looks a bit cheaply made".

The Orange Five is overrated. There are some much more efficient designs out there. True, the shock helps when it has a low speed platform, but you're never going to get the bob as low as using a good multi pivot design.0

But if the virtual pivot point of a full sus design is in the same place as the main pivot on a single pivot design... then they behave exactly the same when pedaling...
The 5 actually pedals quite well in some gears.0 -
It might pedal well in the middle chainring with a low sprocket due to the pivot being fairly low, but it must bob like feck in the granny ring!0

^^This. All bikes are prone to bobbing, and the 5 achieves it's anti pedal bob in a very similar manner to linkage bikes, but utilising chain growth and tension.supersonic wrote:RupertCommunicator wrote:The Orange Five is overrated.

What this kind of single pivot does not cope with very well are square edged hits.0 -
either way, i just plain and simple like them.0

You know, if you two aren't getting together, you're certainly not helping to quash the theories!0
